AI.SEA Residency

The home for the world's most ambitious builders

Three months to do your best work.

The AI.SEA Residency is a short, selective program for exceptional builders in Southeast Asia.

Its purpose is simple: bring high-signal talent together, remove friction, give them serious tools and context, then get out of the way.

This is not an accelerator. There are no pitches, no demo days, and no forced problem statements.

Builders work on what they believe should exist. AI.SEA provides access, environment, and pressure. What comes out goes back into the ecosystem.

Who the AI.SEA Residency Is For

The AI.SEA Residency is for builders who already ship. People who don't need motivation, structure, or permission. The builders who want to change the world and want to be surrounded by others who want to do the same.

This is for you if:

  • you've built and shipped real things, even if they failed
  • you care more about doing the work than talking about it
  • you're constrained by environment, not ambition
  • you're ready to spend a short period building at full capacity, with no distractions

We aren't looking for fancy credentials, huge followings, or years of experience. We are looking for momentum, ambition, and the drive to do the impossible.

Who It's Not For

It's not for you if

  • you want a curriculum, a mentor, or a roadmap
  • you're chasing pitch opportunities or prizes
  • you're optimizing for visibility and virality over progress

There are no demos to impress. Only outcomes and progress matter.
