San Francisco

Last year, we invited 50 ambitious founders to our campus to bring their blueprints to life. They built everything from a new way to extract rare earth materials to a better energy router for data centers to a multi-material single print resin printer.

This year, we’re doubling down on founders building the physical and technological frontier.

Robotics. Drones. Space. Advanced manufacturing. Energy. New materials. Biosciences. Frontier AI models. Chips. And software that makes machines smarter.

What is Blueprint

3 months in SF for founders building hardware and frontier technology.

Then up to a year building from our hardware facility.
