The 3-Day Intensive

Day 1

Team Formation & Ideation

Founders with ideas pitch to the group. Solo founders find their ideal co-founders. We workshop initial ideas and begin prototype planning.

Day 2

Intensive Building

Prototype development and technical work. 5+ rounds of pitch coaching from experienced mentors. One-on-one sessions with industry experts.

Day 3

Demo Day

4-6 companies pitch 6 minutes each to a curated room of VCs, angels, and strategic investors. Real funding conversations begin.

What Makes Our Retreats Different

vs Traditional Accelerators

3 days, not 3 months
Zero equity taken

We give you the intensive experience without the long-term dilution or extended time commitment.

vs Hackathons

Real companies, not projects
64+ companies founded

Our retreats create actual companies that go on to raise capital, not weekend projects that fade away.

vs Networking Events

Deep collaboration
Real momentum

You're not collecting business cards. You're building something real with people committed to the same goal.

"Inception gave us that initial push to get over the activation energy required to actually start a company."
