βThe program began with a global online Buildathon from September 14 to October 4, followed by Founder House Singapore, an application-only, three-day experience for founders with an existing product, prototype, or business. Founder House gives selected teams focused time to build, test their direction, and connect with the Arbitrum ecosystem.

βAbout Founder House
βFounder House Singapore is part of Arbitrum Open House, in collaboration with Robinhood Chain. It is designed for founders who are already building and are ready to make meaningful progress on their product.
βOver three days, selected teams will build alongside other founders, receive feedback from mentors and ecosystem participants, and work through product, technical, and go-to-market challenges.
βCome with an existing project. Use Founder House to build or launch a meaningful new feature, validate a key assumption, and leave with a clearer path forward.
βPrizes and Grants
βFounder House participants will have access to $300K in prizes and grants across several opportunities:
βGeneral Builder Track: $120K in prizes for three standout teams building innovative products on Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain
βRobinhood Chain Founder-in-Residence Award: A $60K award for an eligible team building on Robinhood Chain
βRobinhood Chain Innovation Award: A $30K award for eligible innovation on Robinhood Chain
βPromising Products Track: For emerging products exploring areas such as AI agents and new financial primitives
βEcosystem Grants: For teams with strong potential and ecosystem alignment
βMost prize tracks include milestone-based funding to support continued execution after Founder House. The Promising Products Track is evaluated separately. Eligibility varies by track; the full Founder House prize pool is not limited to Robinhood Chain projects.
βWho Should Apply
