Selective founder application

Show us how you move.

Offsite is for people who choose a direction, begin before certainty, and make the people around them better. Admission is selective. We look for initiative, follow-through, generosity, and honest commitment—not pedigree or polish.

Mentors and VCs join by administrator invitation. This application is for founders.

Your application comes first. After your answers, choose a username and password to follow the review. Nothing is submitted until the final step.

Privacy

Your answers go straight to Offsite’s own server and are stored so the Offsite team can review them. Unreviewed applications follow a limited retention period. Nothing is published unless you choose the optional directory consent below. This page loads no third-party analytics, trackers, or fonts.

Part one

You, as you are now.

Context matters more than credentials. Start with what is true today.

School, work, caregiving, a project, a transition—whatever is true.

Part two

The direction you would choose.

We are looking for a real pull, even if the destination is still forming.

It’s okay if you’re still figuring it out.

Specific beats impressive.

Good fit runs both ways.

Part three

How you move.

Show us initiative and follow-through through things you have actually done.

A project, note, event, prototype, profile, or anything else that is genuinely yours.

Part four

The room you help create.

Offsite is selective because every person changes what the group can become.

A skill, a point of view, useful energy, honest feedback—be concrete.

Describe what is realistic, not what sounds ambitious.

Your answers stay in this page until you submit.
