This page has everything you need to know to get the most out of your time at the Startup Village.

🎯 One Thing

If there is one thing you remember from this page, let it be this — it’s all about the people.

You will be among the top 1% Solana talent in the country. Make the effort to get to know your fellow residents and you’ll find co-founders, collaborators, teammates, 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.

🏠 Venues

The startup village is being conducted across three venues:

• The co-living locations are Zo House & BYOC. Your specific accommodation will be assigned during the opening ceremony.
• The community co-working space is Shipyard. You will need to be here for the opening ceremony and a few other events listed in the agenda below.
• There will be some transfers available for those who are punctual.

📜 Agenda

Everything under the “Agenda” column is a core part of the village experience and hence mandatory.

The fun activities and Shipyard calendar is cooler but optional and by registration only. If you see a Luma link for an event you’re interested in, you need to sign up to attend. If you want to host a side event DM Aditya or Shek to get it listed on the calendar.
