FR8

This is us. On the roof of the world’s first hacker hotel. Inside this building runs the most founder-friendly program on earth, designed for the earliest stage. We handle housing, food, flights, and everything else, so you can focus entirely on your craft. What really separates us from other programs, is that we take 0% equity. No strings attached. No sketchy papers. We pour everything we have into making this possible. Here, you can create your life’s work, then go take over the world. May it be moving to SF, raising from tier 1 VCs, or just bending reality itself. Read more on http://fr8manifes.to

Welcome to FR8.

The biggest risk is playing it safe. Applications for the FR8 summer cohort close in seven days!

Great time having the Slush team over for a cold plunge, sauna and breakfast! Special thanks to Julius Thimm for helping to organize.

Timo Ahopelto from Lifeline Ventures is one of our first believers. Thank you for stopping by!

Gregor Mendel cracked genetics in a monastery. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a self-taught scientist who worked in isolation in Delft, was the first to observe bacteria under a microscope. Deep work demands deep focus. FR8 isn’t just for coders. It’s for anyone pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This summer, we’re accepting a few teams in bio, climate and health tech. If you’re ready to disappear for three months and do your life’s work, we’ll handle the rest. We cover accommodation, food, flights, all living costs, so you can go all in. No distractions. No equity. Just pure focus and results. You’ll be surrounded by the smartest young minds on the planet, all obsessed with their craft. Applications for Cohort 1.0 (SUMMER) are closing in two weeks!

Interesting conversations with Umesh Gowda, Jeff Hammond and Tero Kuosmanen from NVIDIA. Thanks for coming by!
