Ida y Vuelta.

One week living inside Silicon Valley — hosted by the founders who did it first. Not a conference. Not a class. A place to stay, a desk to work from, and the introductions that actually open doors — so you can come back on your own terms.

What this actually is

It's not a program. It's a spare key.

Most "Silicon Valley experience" trips rent a coworking room and stack your week with panels and a group photo. We do the opposite. You stay in our apartments. You sit in on our calls. You meet the people we'd introduce to our own co-founders — investors, operators, engineers who'll still remember your name once you're back in Santiago.

LIVE

Like a local, not a tourist

You stay with us, not in a hotel block. You eat where we eat, take the calls we take, and see the unglamorous parts too.

WORK

Like a peer, not an attendee

You work side by side on real problems — ours and yours — instead of sitting through slides about how it's done.

LEAVE

With a network, not a badge

Warm introductions to the specific people who can actually help what you're building — investors, hires, first customers.

The week, gate by gate
BOARDING

Apply & get selected

Short application, then a real conversation with us. We're choosing five people, not filling a room.

TAKE-OFF

Fly in, move in

You land in SF and move straight into one of our apartments. No hotel, no orientation packet.

IN-FLIGHT

Live the week

Work sessions, our actual calendar, and curated introductions built around what you're trying to do next.

LANDING

Go home with more than photos

Real relationships, an open invitation back, and a running start on customers, hires, or your next raise.

Who we're looking for

Proof of work beats a pitch deck.

Right now we're prioritizing applicants based in Chile, with plans to open this to the rest of Latin America as capacity grows.
Who's opening the door

Four Chilean founders currently building in Silicon Valley.

Between us: Y Combinator, Founders Inc, and Plug and Play, degrees from Stanford, Minerva, and Universidad Católica, and time spent at Harvard, the Max Planck Institute, Uber, and YC-backed companies. This isn't a staffed program — it's our own network, opened up.

Before you ask

Does it cost anything?

No. The first cohorts are fully hosted by us — housing, introductions, and time.

How many people per cohort?

A handful, on purpose. You're staying in our own apartments, not a rented block of rooms.

Do I need a US visa?

Yes — you'll need to be able to enter the US on your own visa or ESTA. Tell us your status honestly in the application; it affects which dates work.

What happens after the week?

You keep the relationships. Longer term, we're building a way to back the best people we meet with actual capital — for now, our job is just to open doors.

Application

Tell us what you've built.

This stores your application securely for our team to review — no automated decisions, a real person reads every one.
