No. Teams benefit from mixed skills. Can I build a software-only project? Yes. Do all teams get lab access? No. Only selected teams after qualification. Can I change my idea? Yes. Iteration is expected. Is this in-person? Kickoff and Demo Day are in-person. Lab work is in-person. Rest can be virtual. This event is hosted at the Frontier Tower: We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village—a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
