Entrepreneur in Residence— an immersive, on-campus builder program

    Build the thing. Ship it for real.

    EIR is the program for founders and builders who are done waiting. You arrive with an idea. You leave with a product. The environment makes it non-negotiable.

    Is this you?

    Who EIR is built for.

    Idea you can't silence.

    You have an idea you can't stop thinking about but haven't shipped yet.

    Why it actually works.

    Not a co-working space. Not a bootcamp. Something structurally different.

    Environment drives progress

    The room makes not-building feel harder than building. Momentum becomes inevitable.

    Progress is visible

    tap to flip

    Accountability that no check-in, Slack, or standup can replicate.

    Feedback is fast and honest

    tap to flip

    From builders who actually ship — not advisors who just advise.

    AI is native from day one

    tap to flip

    Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Gamma — wired into your build, not added on.

    Real distribution

    The 111-day arc

    How the sprint unfolds.

    Daily rhythm: build first, everything else second. Short loops. Fast decisions.

    Week 1

    Settle and define

    Settle in. Define your build. Ship your first public update.

    Weeks 2–4

    Daily build loops

    Short feedback cycles. Fast decisions. First real users.

    Day 40

    The inflection point

    Most residents hit a major milestone here. Not from willpower — from the room.

    Weeks 8–12

    Deep build mode

    The environment carries momentum. You stop planning and stay in execution.

    Day 111

    Leave with proof

    A launched product or a live prototype with real users. That's the only outcome.

    Two types of people. Which are you?

    AI has amplified what Builders can do. The window to cross over is open right now. Spectating will not get you there.

    Workers

    inside someone else's system

    • Execute tasks inside someone else's system
    • Follow existing processes and report progress
    • Attend meetings not directly linked to outcomes
    • Build on timelines set by others
    • Measure success by effort or time spent

    Builders

    create compounding leverage

    • Create leverage through products, systems, and outputs
    • Compress the work of teams into solo output
    • Make decisions that generate long-term compounding effect
    • Operate on timelines they define and control
    • Measure success by real outcomes and forward momentum
    AI amplifies Builders. Work that used to take teams now takes one focused founder — in a fraction of the time.

    Non-locals arriving from outside Bengaluru also get airport pickup and drop services included. We take care of the logistics so you can focus on what you came here to build.

    Scholarships & Grants

    Cost should not be the reason someone misses this. We offer a limited number of scholarships for builders doing meaningful work.

    This is not charity. It is an investment in people we believe in.

    Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Spots are limited.

    Expert Barter

    If you build for us, that is your payment.

    Deep expertise in product, design, engineering, or strategy? Let's explore what a barter looks like.

    This is for serious builders only.

    Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Spots are limited.

    — A note from the Founder

    Most builders already know what to do. What is missing is an environment that makes not building feel harder than building. That is what EIR creates.
