The residential package just got better, and it's going fast.

Four nights, five days on the Stanford campus, three meals a day included. You wake up here, eat here, and run into your next co-founder at breakfast. That proximity can't be manufactured anywhere else.

Rooms are extremely limited and almost sold out.

🚀 Exhibit your company, while spots remain.

A branded table and banner presence across both program days, plus 3 minutes on the same stage hosting Alfred Lin, two Stanford presidents, the co-founder of xAI, and partners from a16z, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures.

This is a small, curated group. You're not one of 200 logos, you're one of a handful of companies in front of exactly the people who matter to you. 60% of spots are already gone, and they're going fast.
