AI is disrupting everything.
Even the way accelerators are run.

Traditional accelerators are broken. AI businesses can be built in weeks, not months. At Build Club, we believe that small, technical teams have the power to create the next unicorn. We support pre-venture builders and accelerate their journey forward.

Our values

[0]

Unhindered focus

We cultivate an environment where distractions are minimised, not to isolate, but to enable you to channel your energies into what you excel at – building.

[1]

Win together

When one of us wins, we all do. Our triumphs create a surge of progress, elevating everyone, not just those at the forefront.

[2]

Dream bigger

We aim to be category creators and see beyond the horizon of the possible. Here dreams aren’t just dreams; they’re the blueprints for tomorrow, the sketches of what’s to come.
