June 15, 2026.
We start building.
This is the maiden voyage of Deventure Academy. We're looking for 10-15 founding students who are willing to shape the program as much as it shapes them.
Why join the pilot?
Most programs present themselves as perfect machines. We're doing something different. We are honest about the fact that this is Cohort 0.
The curriculum is locked. The mentors are ready. The tools are set. But the culture? That's what you will build. We're looking for builders who are comfortable with ambiguity, eager to give feedback, and ready to set the standard for every cohort that follows.
Founding Member Status
Students in this pilot cohort will be recognized as "Founding Members" in our alumni network, with permanent access to future curriculum updates as we refine them.
Critical Dates
Mark your calendar. Attendance at the kickoff is mandatory.
May 30, 2026
Rolling admissions. We may close earlier if the cohort fills up.
June 15, 2026
Day 1. Orientation, team formation, and initial goal setting.
July 24, 2026
Live presentation of your shipped product to mentors and peers.
We only charge what it costs to run the pilot.
Tuition for the June 15 pilot equals the hard costs of the tools and services you’ll use— product hosting, collaborative software, AI credits, and everything required to get real work done. We’re not taking profit on Cohort 0. We just need to cover the infrastructure that lets you build.
