Start 5 weeks from anywhere. Finish 5 weeks in Bhutan. One cohort unlike any before.
A 10-week founder program built for teams going long in Web3, AI, and biotech — five weeks online from anywhere, then five weeks living and building together in Bhutan.
Onboarding and deep co-building with YZi Labs — the groundwork before you relocate.
The full cohort relocates and lives, works, and ships in the same building.
Weeks 6–10 take place in Thimphu, Bhutan's capital in the Himalayas. It is a setting for founders to step away from the noise, think clearly, and build with focus — surrounded by mountain air, deep cultural heritage, and a slower rhythm that makes space for sharper work.
We invest across Web3, AI, and the places they meet biotech — backing founders building for the long term.
A particular focus on the future of global payments — stablecoins becoming the new plumbing of global finance, accelerated by the rise of the agentic economy.
The new financial stack, the agentic economy, and next-gen DeFi — from payments and stablecoins to institutional on-chain markets.
Agent infrastructure, AI-native trading, chips and hardware, robotics, and the data infrastructure behind physical AI.
Where AI meets biotech and health — drug discovery, clinical AI, agentic lab automation, and DeSci.
Past mentors include some of the most influential builders in Web3 and AI — alongside Fortune 500 leaders.
Mentors vary by season — past mentors also include Fortune 500 leaders, with more added each cohort.
Self-qualify in under a minute.
Each season brings a select group of startups from around the world to live and build side by side — culminating in a high-profile Demo Day with leading investors and industry leaders.
The talent density here is unreal. They don’t just talk theory — they roll up their sleeves to fix your PMF and sharpen your tokenomics. The best decision we ever made.
Beyond a great base in New York, EASY connected us with experienced operators, investors, and advisors — highly relevant and impactful at every stage.
EASY Residency gave us the resources, community, and environment to focus on building without distractions. Demo Day felt like a culmination — and the beginning of a new journey.
For a first-time startup, YZi Labs provided exactly the hands-on guidance we needed — workshops and 1:1s that helped us sharpen our thinking and build momentum.
YZi Labs has been an extraordinary partner and early supporter — Ella, Alex, and the team constantly impress us with their dedication and strong network in our industry and beyond.
EASY was instrumental in taking Neomera from a blank slate to a fully launched company — an integrated AI and wet-lab drug discovery platform tackling chronic pain.
A transformative experience for 42 and myself — I met fantastic collaborators, mentors, and fellow founders I can trust and depend on. I know they’ll have my back through thick and thin.
YZi Labs believed in Saturn from the very beginning, when we were still just an idea — from integration partnerships and capital introductions to strategic guidance on company-building and key decisions.
The real value of working with YZi Labs isn’t the Demo Day or the brand — it’s being placed in a room where no one lets you get away with vague answers. That pressure reshaped how we think about our product and business.
Selection is competitive — cohorts are kept deliberately small.
