TWO FOUNDATIONS
We incubate startups and build tech products.
One turns students into founders. The other builds real software for the people and organisations who need it.
FOUNDATION 01 · THE INCUBATOR
The Incubator
Members find a real problem, build the product, and own everything that follows. This is where CUpid and CUgetreg come from.
FOUNDATION 02 · THE SOFTWARE HOUSE
The Software House
A cross-functional student team that designs and builds websites and software for people who need them. The work ships, gets handed off, and holds up after we leave. You can hire us.
Every member builds on both sides.
Our members have built startups at national scale.
02 · The structure
One club, two kinds of teams.
The internal team runs the club. The project teams build the products. That is the whole structure: many project teams running at once, and every team with its own positions.

Joins when the startup needs it.
Every project team is a mini-startup. No layers between the people and the product.
03 · The journey
What actually happens after you join.
No classroom simulation. You take a seat on a working team and what you build goes live.
Step 01
Take a seat
You join a project team with a position that is yours.
Step 02
Meet real users
Your users are real people on this campus, not personas on a slide.
Step 03
Build the MVP
Scope it down to what fits in a sprint, then put it in people's hands.
Step 04
Iterate on the loop
One loop per sprint. The ring below is how every product here grows.
Step 05
Ship it
Your work goes live in front of the whole campus, with your name behind it.
Step 06
Maintain it
Shipped is not finished. You keep the product alive for the people using it.

THE LOOP
Build. Measure. Learn.
You build the smallest thing that works, watch what people actually do with it, and let that decide the next lap.
You ship it, then you keep it alive. The product is yours to run.
04 · Mentorship
Mentorship from successful alumni.
Every generation here is coached by the one before it. Our alumni went on to found startups, run software houses, engineer in Silicon Valley, and consult at MBB firms. They keep coming back.
