Field notes
The application asks for a project or area of interest, but the page says applicants need neither a pitch deck nor a registered company. Its proposed schedule separates focused work from feedback and shared activities, with weekly demos and mentor sessions before a final demo day. The page describes the residence as a four-bedroom Ixora home in Al Barari; it does not specify whether travel or other living costs are included.
