A New Form Of Learning

Not a course.
A standing invitation into nine markets.

Every immersion is built the same way: we've already done the work of finding the people worth meeting in that country. You show up, and the room is already full of the right people.

01
Learn
From operators who've actually built in that market — not case studies written by people who haven't.
02
Network
Curated introductions to founders, mentors, angel investors, and VCs — the same people who'd otherwise take a warm intro and six months.
03
Travel
See the country you're doing business in. Understand its culture, its pace, its way of getting things done — you can't get that from a Zoom call.
04
Belong
A global cohort of founders who keep showing up to each other's cities. The relationships outlast the trip.

Questions

Before you express interest.

Who is this actually for?▾
Founders, operators, and business owners who are actively building — not observers. Each immersion is curated around the kind of person the local founders and investors actually want in the room, so we do review every application.
Can I do more than one immersion?▾
Yes — most alumni do. Many founders use immersions to explore multiple markets before deciding where to actually expand, and the alumni network spans every cohort across all nine countries.
What's actually included?▾
Curated 1:1 and small-group intros to founders, mentors, angel investors, and VCs in that market, plus group sessions, site visits, and the cohort itself. Flights and accommodation are quoted separately based on your city of departure and preferences.
How big is each cohort?▾
Deliberately small — 12 to 16 founders per immersion. Small enough that every intro is real, not shared across a crowd.
When does the next cohort start?▾
Cohorts run on a rolling basis throughout the year for each city. Express interest and we'll tell you exactly when the next available seat is for the immersion you want.
