Who is Shipyard for?
Builders and founders working at the edge of AI and crypto. If you ship, you belong here. If you're a fund or studio looking for early talent, this is your front door too.
Is it free?
Yes for builders. Applying, joining the community, and all events cost nothing.
Do I need to be technical?
No, but you need to be building. Founders, designers, and operators are as welcome as engineers. The one filter is that you ship real things.
Do I have to be in London?
London is home, and the best stuff happens in person. But programs run hybrid, so you can join online and show up for the moments that matter.
I'm a fund or startup. How do I get access?
Through our demo nights and founder tables, where you meet builders before anyone else does. Hit Contact Us and we'll set it up.
How selective is it?
Selective on purpose. We'd rather have a smaller room of people who ship than a big one that doesn't. The bar keeps the signal high for everyone in it.
