Not a Vacation.
A Strategic Choice.
We chose Bali and the Canary Islands for the same reason the smartest entrepreneurs in the world are moving there: better life, lower cost, stronger community, and zero compromise on ambition.

The World Is Broken.
We're Building the Alternative.
High cost of living. Obesity. Poor health. Over-addiction to social media. Lack of social interaction. The Western model is failing an entire generation. Meanwhile, places like Canggu and the Canary Islands have become models for what the future could look like — if we choose it deliberately.
Cost Arbitrage
Live a premium lifestyle at a fraction of Western costs. Your dollar goes 3-5x further — meaning better housing, better food, better experiences, and more runway to build.
Higher Quality of Life
Healthy eating, outdoor living, daily movement, and genuine human connection. Not the processed, sedentary, screen-addicted existence that's become the Western default.
Real Community
In a world where people are increasingly isolated and separated — ready to be conquered by AI and tech monopolies — we're building real communities that create resilience.
Easy Visa Access
Both Bali and the Canary Islands offer straightforward visa pathways for international students and remote workers. No bureaucratic nightmares — just show up and start building.
Human Resilience
When people unify, they have a chance of survival. Of learning. Of stepping up. Of retaining part of the value chain for humans — while working on the forefront of technology.
Scale Teams Globally
Good people in, good people out. These locations are magnets for ambitious, talented people from every continent. Your network becomes truly global from day one.
Canggu, Bali
Canggu has become a global hub for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and influencers — and it happened organically. The ecosystem focuses on health, healthy eating, biochemistry, resilience, and growth. It has become a model for the future world.
While the rest of the world is struck down by high cost of living, obesity, poor health, over-addiction to social media, and lack of social interaction — Canggu offers the opposite. A place where people actually talk to each other. Where you surf before work and eat clean because it's the default, not the exception.
3-5x
Your dollar stretches further — premium villa living, organic food, and world-class fitness for a fraction of US costs
10,000+
Digital nomads and entrepreneurs call Canggu home — the largest concentration of young builders in Southeast Asia
365
Days of sunshine. Year-round tropical climate that fuels energy, creativity, and well-being
EU
Full European Union legal framework and infrastructure — with Spanish tax advantages and digital nomad visa options
22°C
Average year-round temperature. Known as the "Islands of Eternal Spring" — perfect climate for focus and well-being
GMT+0
Perfect timezone overlap with both European and US East Coast business hours — ideal for global operations
The Canary Islands
Europe's best-kept secret for entrepreneurs. The Canary Islands sit at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, offering EU legal protections, Spanish infrastructure, and a cost of living that lets you focus on building rather than surviving.
For EX Fellows who want the European experience — or who want to combine both campuses for a truly global fellowship — the Canary Islands campus opens doors that Bali alone cannot. European students can access Erasmus+ traineeship funding for their time here, hosted by our Spanish portfolio companies.
We're Building Communities
Not Just Programs
In a world where people are more and more isolated — where we're already separated and ready to be conquered by AI tech companies — community isn't a nice-to-have. It's a survival strategy.
When people unify, they have a chance. A chance of learning, of stepping up, of retaining part of the value chain for humans. That's what we're building in Bali and the Canary Islands — real communities where people eat together, build together, fail together, and grow together.
And in return, that community creates resilience.
The kind of resilience you can't learn from a textbook.
