Lisk Emerging Markets Founders Residency
The Lisk Emerging Markets Founder Residency (Oct 18 – Nov 15, 2025) is a 4-week strategic residency in San Martín de los Andes (Patagonia 🇦🇷 ) designed for founders from emerging markets who are already scaling - with proven product-market fit, strong traction, and ambitious expansion goals.
This isn’t about validating ideas. It’s about sharpening growth levers, refining operational models, and preparing for global expansion and strategic fundraising.
Each week will focus on a different stage of the founder journey, guided by top mentors, from Silicon Valley veterans with 20+ years of experience to leaders and marketers at web3 companies. Founders will get focused support, expert feedback, and the time to apply it directly to their startups.
👥 Founders will work closely with mentors and peers throughout the residency — while also tapping into other residencies at Edge City — with daily standups, weekly mentor sessions, and focused time to build, validate, and pitch in a collaborative, high-trust and diverse environment.
🎯This isn’t a hackathon. No short-term bounties. It’s one focused month where ~10 founders sharpen their vision, prove their traction, and prepare to raise — while growing personally, learning from a diverse group of peers, and enjoying the unique Edge City experience in Patagonia, Argentina.
