A residential build week for founders with a live business. You arrive with a problem and leave with a product that's live, a price that's published, real users logged, and a pitch you've defended in a room — with a record of every gate you cleared to get there.
Most build weeks end with a screen recording and a group photo. Here, every day ends in a gate your build must pass — and the week ends with your business in front of real users, a published price, and a room that has judged it.
The week runs on Tuukul Available — the three gates of working with AI: what you delegate, what you accept, what you deploy. Tools change monthly; judgment compounds.
A live landing page, a published price, a working payment or waitlist link, and one instrumented channel — shipped on Thursday, not promised in a slide.
You leave with an Itz'at Coming soon Residency Build Record — every gate verdict and artifact of your week, compiled. Not a participation memento. The signed, publicly verifiable form of it ships when Itz'at issuance opens.
Each weekday ends in a gate your build must pass on the platform, with evidence, before the next day begins. Miss one and you get a mentor and a night block — not an exit. The gate wall stays projected in the room all week.
Monday — DECIDE. One-sentence spec, data-model sketch, user journey, premortem, kill criteria. Mentor-signed before anyone writes code.
Tuesday — BUILD. A deployed URL. However ugly. Auto-screenshotted.
Wednesday — INTELLIGENCE. An AI feature working on your real business data, plus one documented failure mode and its guardrail.
Thursday — GO TO MARKET. Live landing page, published price, working payment or waitlist, one instrumented channel.
Friday — PROOF. Everything live, at least three logged sessions with real users outside the room, and pitch deck v1.
Report Sunday. Five gate days Monday to Friday — morning sessions, long build blocks, mentor 1:1s, night builds. Saturday is Demo Day and the Capital Round. Sunday you decompress and leave when you like.
Demo Day. Six minutes to pitch, four of Q&A, hard-stopped, in front of the cohort and an invited panel. Then the part nobody else runs:
The Capital Round. Every founder receives a pool of simulated capital — labelled R₹ everywhere — and must build a portfolio across the other founders' companies, negotiating live. The top companies by peer capital then negotiate a simulated term sheet in front of the room, line by line: pre-money, dilution, liquidation preference. You learn what those words cost you — before it's your real cap table.
The Capital Round is a learning exercise run entirely on simulated capital. It is not an offer of investment, and no funding, investment, or investor introduction is promised or implied by participating in the residency.
Edition 01 is a Founding Cohort of around fourteen founders and business owners, 18+, selected by application and interview. The bar is fit, not credentials — you bring a real business and a problem worth a week.
Pods of four for support, one mentor on the floor for every five founders, and individual builds — your business, your build, your record.
The stack is AI tools built for non-engineers. What the week trains is judgment: scoping, verifying, shipping, pricing, defending.
Residential venue chosen on connectivity first: wired line speed-tested on site, dual cellular failover, power backup in the build room. Scenery second.
Your gates, your live URL, your user-test log, your verdicts — compiled into an Itz'at Residency Build Record that says what you shipped, in a named week, with the evidence attached.
Straight about the signature: Itz'at issuance is not open yet, so nothing has been signed or published for verification. The record compiles either way; the cryptographic proof over it lands when the signing key and the verification domains do.
Alongside it: micro-badges earned through the week's actual work, and an optional T'aan Coming soon oral viva for founders who want the higher integrity tier on their record.
The Residency is the residential 5-to-8-day immersive across South India — hill stations and beaches, chosen by season for guaranteed connectivity. The Workshops are shorter in-person sessions (1 or 3 days) in a co-working room. Pick a cohort and register; it runs once enough people sign on.
Land in, land out. Stay and food included; the full gate-driven build week in a South-India hill station or beach.
The flagship — Five Gates, Demo Day and the Capital Round.
Cohorts run once enough founders register. Registering interest is free and commits you to nothing; prices are indicative and confirmed before any payment. Seats are held only once a cohort is confirmed and payment is complete.
Around fourteen seats, reviewed on fit. Registering is free and commits you to nothing — we read every submission, and approved founders are invited to pay and confirm their seat before the session.
Mentors, collaborators, volunteers and speakers make the room. If you'd like to be on the floor, co-host a workshop, run a fireside, or sit on a panel, tell us how you'd help and we'll be in touch.
Founding Cohort pricing isn't published yet — it will be announced before any offer goes out, and a 20% deposit is what confirms a seat. Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Early 2027, at a residential venue in South India within driving distance of Bengaluru. The exact venue and dates are shared with admitted founders first.
No. The Capital Round runs entirely on simulated capital, labelled R₹ everywhere. Nothing about the residency offers, promises, or implies investment, funding, or investor access.
No. The week runs on AI tools designed for non-engineers — what we train is the judgment to run them: what you delegate, what you accept back, and what you sign your name to.
Your product, live. Your pricing, published. And an Itz'at Residency Build Record — not a certificate of attendance, but the week's gates, verdicts and evidence compiled into one record. Its signed, independently verifiable form ships when Itz'at issuance opens; no Itz'at has been issued yet, and we will not mint one nobody can check.
Connectivity is our binding venue requirement, not scenery: a wired line speed-tested on site, two independent cellular failovers, and power backup for the build room. We publish the venue's connectivity standard to the cohort before anyone travels.
The full refund and transfer policy is published alongside offers, before any payment is taken. Applying is free and is not a financial commitment.
