The San Francisco program will take place on Monday evenings from November 18 to March 10, and will be led by local leaders Misha Chellam (Co-Founder of Scanadu, EIR at Blumberg Capital), and Russel Klusas (Co-Founder & Former CEO of Big Lobby, Co-Founder at Tradecraft). During these four months, founders will "learn by doing" and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors.
