The Residency runs timed cohorts, often around three months, where accepted builders live with equally ambitious peers instead of splitting focus with school or a day job. Each home provides private rooms, shared meals, and workspace, framed as college meets accelerator rather than a short hackathon retreat. Silicon Valley was the first hub; additional houses worldwide let talent connect without everyone needing a Bay Area visa or rent budget.
Programming includes weekly syncs, coaching, demo days aimed at collaborators and investors, and guest fireside chats with experienced operators. Residents have shipped companies such as Prime Intellect and Solcoa Industries while in cohort; perks listed on the site include compute credits and therapy support. livetheresidency.com. Multi-month residencies that combine housing, coworking, and peer cohorts so inventors and founders can work full time on hard problems.
The Residency selects inventors, long-term thinkers, and founders who want to go all in with a small peer group. Housing, workspace, and community programming are bundled so builders can focus on one ambitious project per cohort.
