Background
The Seattle-rooted incubator is intentionally not a fixed curriculum or batch. Founders work day-to-day with the team, spend at least their first month in Seattle, and can use hybrid participation afterward; portfolio examples include Lexion, Yoodli, Casium, Vercept, Caddi, CalmWave, and Friday Harbor.
