application.
tell us what you are building, what exists today, and whether you can attend the full program in person.
what does it cost?
nothing to apply, nothing to attend. no tuition, no fees. forge covers the month — the house, meals, mentors, and demo day.
do you take equity?
no. forge does not take equity.
who is this for?
technical founders and builders working alone or in a small team. you can apply before incorporating a company.
is it really in person?
yes. the full cohort lives and works together in Goa. there is no remote option.
is there a deposit?
yes. a small deposit holds your place and is refunded when you arrive.
how do you decide?
we read every application and evaluate what you have built, your progress, and how you approach the work.
