Through our fellowship program, we invited advisors to work with the teams selected for Hashed Vibe Labs. So many remarkable people have joined us. Developers behind world-class open-source projects, a Cannes Lions-winning creative director, a member of the presidential AI committee, one of the world's top three hackers, a Kaggle Grandmaster, and even a next-generation developer still in high school. Their fields, ages, and backgrounds are all different, but they have one thing in common. They build hands-on, at the forefront, at speed.
I'm really looking forward to Vibe Labs Seoul Edition, where all 18 fellows will come together. Stay tuned to see what they create together.
Applications for Hashed Vibe Labs Seoul Edition close on the 19th.
