Stone & Chalk

One of the main things we hear from startup founders is 'you don't know what you don't know'. For anyone growing an emerging tech startup, it can be difficult to know what you need to do next. How do you find funding? What's your go-to market strategy? How do you build a team? That's why we're here to help. Our residency program is designed to provide you with the expert guidance to help support you on your journey.
