Persist
Residency
A month-long accelerator inside Edge City, a popup village in San Martín de los Andes, Argentina.
October 18 – November 15, 2025.
Ideas That
Change Everything
Our residency brings together prophets, founders, and operators to create ventures that matter. It’s not just an accelerator — it’s a village for visionaries who dare to lead and shape a future driven by bold ideas.
How It Works
01
If your idea is accepted, we start immediately pairing you with a technical co-founder if needed.
02
In exchange for 30–50% equity, we bring you a world-class technical co-founder and provide hands-on accelerator support.
03
We pay expenses during the program; you focus on shipping.
04
After the month: your path, your choice (Yay free will).
05
We back teams that move, not teams that wait.
