90-Day Hacker House Program
An Immersive Launchpad for High-Conviction Builders
The Hacker House 90-Day Residency is DEFILP’s premier post-hackathon acceleration program. It’s designed for teams who’ve already validated a prototype during one of our hackathons and are now ready to evolve that concept into a fully operational, investable startup.
This isn’t the place to brainstorm—it’s where execution happens. We take prototypes and scale them through intense product development, real-world traction, and strategic market deployment.
🚀 Hacker House Residency — 90 Day Deep Build Program
⏳ Duration: 90 days 🌍 Format: In-person residency at one of our global locations 🎯 Objective: Transform high-potential ideas into market-ready ventures
💡 Program Focus Areas:
Post-Hackathon Acceleration: Scale working prototypes developed during our hackathons into full-featured products with a clear go-to-market strategy.
MVP Engineering: Build and validate investable MVPs with robust technical architecture and user-ready interfaces.
Traction & Validation: Gain initial users, iterate on feedback, and establish traction benchmarks for follow-on funding.
Tokenomics & Equity Models: Refine sustainable and scalable token or equity frameworks tailored for long-term growth, governance, and liquidity.
Launch Readiness: Prepare teams for public release, IDO/launchpad access, or private investor rounds through data-driven pitch refinement and technical packaging.
🚀 Target Innovation Sectors:
Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Trading protocols, REIT infrastructure, and liquidity engines.
DeFAI & Autonomous Agents: Specialized AI agents for DeFi, TradeFi (execution & hedging), and InfoFi (intelligence gathering & signal generation).
Real World Asset Tokenization (RWA): Property-backed NFTs, fractionalized investment structures, off-chain registry systems.
Governance & DAO Tooling: Modular frameworks for decentralized governance, compliance, and cross-chain voting mechanisms.
Cross-Chain & Modular Infrastructure: Interoperability tooling, bridge architectures, and data-layer innovations enabling protocol composability across ecosystems.
This program is designed for builders with conviction—startups that want more than funding: they want deep infrastructure, distribution access, and a world-class launchpad.
