Fall 2026 cohort · Applications open
Admission
Buildojo is a small cohort by design: 25 builders, one mentor per team, so every builder gets real attention and admission is selective. We care about how you think and what you have made, not your grades.
How it works
01
Apply
A short application about you: what you have made, what bugs you about the world, what you would build. It takes about 10 minutes. No essays, no credentials.
02
A conversation
If the application clicks, we book a 15-minute call. It is not a test. We want to see how you think, not what you can recite.
03
Decision
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and every one is read by a person. Most applicants hear back within 7 to 10 days.
What we look for
Builders, not resumes.
Curiosity with teeth
You notice problems and cannot leave them alone.
Follow-through
Something you started and finished, in any domain. Code, a bake sale, a club.
Coachability
You want honest feedback more than you want compliments.
The investment
$300 a month, for six months.
Or $1,680 as a one-time payment ($120 less than the monthly total). That covers everything: no materials fees, no upsells, and the platform stays yours after the program ends.
Founder classes
Live sessions, plus lifelong access to every template and material.
Team mentorship
Focused time with a founder who has built and shipped.
Founders Circle
Events with founders whose names you know.
Demo Day stage
Pitch live to a committee of founders.
Cost should never be the reason a builder stays out. If you are accepted and the fee is the only thing standing in the way, write to us at nour@buildojo.ai and we will figure it out together.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. 25 spots per cohort; when it fills, it fills.
