This guide should have everything you need to know to get the most out of your time at the Startup Village.

Doing the hard thing.

The only thing that matters is that you all are the ones doing the hard thing. You are building real sh*t, real products, tinkering with your craft, and learning topics outside your comfort zone.

The purpose of the Startup Village is to help you find other people who are just like you. Finding a tribe that values building as much as you do can be invaluable, and that is why we’re here.

So, during these 10 days, make the effort to get to know your fellow residents, and you’ll find co-founders, collaborators, teammates, and customers, and hopefully make some friends along the way.

Don’t network and try to collect contacts. Instead, paper-hand your nervousness. Get to know people. Share ideas that inspire you. Contribute thoughtfully when others share an interesting idea. Ship something together.
