Validate the thing. Build the thing. Ship the thing. 5 days.
Most founders spend more time talking about their product than building it. Summer Camp at The Hub Bengaluru is designed to invert that. You come in with a problem worth solving. You leave with something real — a prototype, an MVP, a tested concept. No pitching, no investor networking, no theory. Just 5 days of building with people who are doing the same.

5 days is long enough to test a real assumption, build a working prototype, and get feedback from the cohort. It's the fastest way to know if what you're building is worth continuing.
You'll work with AI tools as core building instruments — not productivity hacks. Founders who leave Summer Camp typically describe it as compressing weeks of solo work into 5 days.
The cohort effect is real. Being surrounded by others actively working on hard problems raises the quality of your own thinking and output.
Summer Camp is the entry point. Builders who want to go deeper can continue with Night School (fortnightly), the 111-Day Residency, or the Builders Collective.

Both. Pre-product founders use it to validate their first version. Post-product founders use it to build a new feature, test a pivot, or just get unstuck.
Summer Camp is a 5-day sprint — fast, focused, and accessible. The 111-Day Residency is a full live-work program for founders who want extended immersion. Many founders start with Summer Camp before committing to the full residency.
You can apply as a team. Cohort sizes are small, so team dynamics and individual contribution both matter.
