Our philosophy
Build fast, fail forward
We don't believe in working on a project for 3 years and trying to deploy the perfect product.
We want to deploy an MVP in 1-2 months, see how the market reacts, and iterate based on user analytics and feedback.
Step 1 - Team Matching
Attend our team matching socials
In the first few weeks of a semester, we host multiple team matching socials, where you can meet and interact with potential teammates for this semester cohort.
Step 2 - Registration
Apply as a team for the semester cohort
With the teammates you formed during the team finding socials, apply as a team. We are looking for genuine passion in the idea, strong design and software engineering skills.
Our belief
We strive to be an inclusive team for everyone at Cornell
We have a firm belief that if you're smart enough to get into Cornell, you're smart enough to build web apps. We don't require a resume or prior experience to join.
We aim to accept at least 80% of the team applications we receive.
Step 3 - Build
Build a web application with your team
You will receive constant support and guidance from the mentors in our e-board. We prioritize speed and agility. Our philosophy is to build, launch, and iterate based on user feedback.
Step 4 - Demo
Complete a MVP by the end of the semester
Each team has their own, flexible timeline, but we still highly encourage all teams to at least deploy a MVP by the end of the semester.
