Delta

manifesto

Everyone has ideas for change.
Very few make it happen.

Delta exists to find the ones who take action, and give them a nudge.
A spark. A shot. A reason to go all in.
‍
This is for the dreamers who care enough to act.
For the misfits who never had the support they needed.
‍
The world needs more people creating positive change.
If that’s you, apply now.

A 3-week online sprint for ambitious people to make serious progress on their ideas. One deliverable a week. One optional learning session a week. That’s it.

What is the Prize?

A 3 month, all-expenses-paid residency in SF from September to the end of November. Free flights, food, and housing. Surrounded by the most ambitious people you’ve ever met - Sam Altman recently visited this house. See here for more info on the residency.

What is the time commitment?

You decide. Could be 1 hr/week. Could be 100 hrs/week. The more you put in, the more surface area you create for luck to find you.

Can I be in school, have an internship, or job?

Yes. Delta is built to be flexible

Do you take equity?

No. We believe that deters a lot of really talented people.

How will you pick winners?

We pick people based on potential. We don’t care where you come from, we care where you’re going. Show us you’re not afraid to go all in on your passions, move fast, and make real progress. If you are serious and in motion, you have a shot.

Investment / “how do I get funded?”

If you’re selected for the residency and need money, we’ll help you get it. Founder, researcher, creative? Doesn’t matter to us. We’ll connect you to top grants and/or invest up to $1M in you.

Will I need a Visa?

If you're selected for the residency, we’ll help however we can and guide you through the process. We’ve worked with hundreds of international participants coming to the U.S..

Who can participate?

Anyone. Any background. Any idea. If you’re obsessed with your craft and want to build something meaningful, you’re in the right place. If you are part of a minority group, you might be more likely to feel imposter syndrome. Don’t let that stop you! If you found this page, you are already part of the 1% this was made for. Take your shot :)
