1 year. There will be initial gatherings over the first 30 days, and then we’ll continue to offer you opportunities to join events.
For this initial cohort, we’re only accepting folks based in the Bay Area. We’ll widen this in the future.
We would prefer to meet in person. We have offices in Palo Alto and San Francisco. We will take a poll for the preferred location.
We’ll ask for ~2 hours of your time per week. We hope you spend significantly more outside of the program building.
