Keep accelerating.

We rented a $2M mansion in Bangalore for the most intense hacker house in India.
We don't charge you equity or money and we'll cover your stay.
@forgeresidency is looking for builders who ship, eat, sleep, repeat for 30 days straight.
Half of our last cohort got backed by @joinef , @ycombinator, @fdotinc, etc within a month.
Cohort 1 starts in July, applications open.
Comment "FORGE" for the link!

Build Haus Bangalore, probably the biggest thing we've put together this year from @insidrcommunity
One venue with 300+ people happening alongside YC startup school.
Big thanks to everyone who showed up to make it real:
→ @SuryaUthkarsha6 and @ad1ceo ran The Void, pre-yc build sprint. 600+ apps, top 150 picked.
→ @aditi_sharma26, @Aryan_Mangla_ and @chaicoder ran the YC Pre Hours Rixer, a closed door meetup focused on deep-tech and had nvidia, microsoft, google, meta researchers in one room.
→ @megarish from @WazabiAI ran the tokenization
vibecoding buildathon.
Built in 6 days from a single tweet. One of the sharpest rooms i've been in.
