most ambitious people grow up around the wrong environment.

not because the people around them are bad.
just because there aren’t enough people like them.

people who want to build things. people who want to try the crazy idea.
people who actually want to see how far they can go.

so they spend years playing smaller than they could.
tbdyeg exists to change that.

for one summer, 10 of canada’s most ambitious founders will live together in edmonton
and go all in on building — finally surrounded by people just as ambitious as they are.

and yes — it’s completely free. no equity, no fees. we’re just doing it for the “plot.”

over 12 weeks you'll:

  • 10x your startup journey

  • launch something people can actually use

  • build an online community that follows you

  • learn "how to raise money"

what we offer:

  • 12 weeks of housing in edmonton

  • flights covered

  • a high trust community built around ambition, curiosity and craft

  • direct access to founders, mentors and industry experts

who this is for:

  • founders in their 20s based in canada

  • people who've already tried building something

  • builders ready to go all in for one summer

  • technical founders preferred. even if you're not, we strongly recommend you apply

  • you must be available in person, full-time, starting june 1

our non-negotiables:

  • genuine curiosity > ego

  • execution > ideas

  • build things people love

  • taste and design matter
