The Forge: Entrepreneurs-in-Residence for Hardware Builders.

A nine-month, execution-focused residency for hardware innovators moving from idea to prototype, aligned to manufacturing constraints from day one.

Many entrepreneurs understand the problems they want to solve...

but lack access to systems that support hardware development.

The Forge exists to close that gap by embedding builders in a structured environment focused on execution, manufacturing readiness, and system viability

Re-Build supports execution. Builders remain responsible for their work.

The Forge is designed for:

Hardware entrepreneurs

Engineers and designers

Innovators building physical infrastructure

Teams working across energy, water, agriculture, health, and circular materials design.
