Europe is missing places for ambitious builders to build alongside each others with accountability & support their need + without boundaries.
The US got a lot of those places, like SouthParkCommons, Founders Inc or HF0.
And even if you are not in one of them, if you are based in San Francisco you have enough ambitious people around you that inspire and push you.
This is lacking in Europe. Therefore this space for this ambitious people has to be created, so they don’t leave to San Francisco.
This should be The Sandbox.
It is made for curious, technical mind who knows you’re meant to create something, but aren’t quite sure what yet.
The Sandbox is a home for Europe’s “-1 stage” builders.
The engineers, tinkerers, and soon-to-be founders who haven’t raised, incorporated, or launched… but feel the pull to go deep and commit.
We start with a cohort of 10 people, as this is how much capacity we have in our v.1 office.
We from there on have rolling applications outstanding to not miss the best talent.
From there on we will most likely open up new spots as other people are leaving. for example when they proceed in their journey and have a co founder, or a team and potentially funding.
