home for builders is an execution first residency for developers, designers, founders, creators, hackers, and ambitious internet people who want to build something real.

this is a 4 day immersive builder residency designed around execution.
for 96 hours, selected builders will work together in mumbai to:
build products
ship fast
validate ideas
learn distribution
collaborate with other builders
document the journey
and push themselves harder than they normally would alone
you can walk in with:
an idea
a side project
a startup
or even just the obsession to build
what happens during the residency?
through out the 4 days, builders will:
form teams or build solo
work on products/startups
attend short execution focused founder sessions
learn startup thinking & distribution
document the process publicly
and pitch your work at the demo day
this residency is designed to feel:
intense
collaborative
internet native
founder driven
raw and real
we care more about people who execute, than people who simply talk about ideas.
