Most early-stage founders don’t stall for lack of ideas. They stall because they’re building alone, piecing together advice from coffee chats and cold emails. 🚀

The STAK Ventures Founder in Residency is our answer to that. It’s an ongoing program on our 1900 Broadway campus in . Founders get a 1:1 mentor who has built a company before, on-site office hours with legal and accounting experts, deck reviews and practice pitches, and warm introductions through the STAK Ventures network when it’s time to raise. Residents also pitch at the STAK Event Center in front of investors and partners.

As Brian Sparkes shared last week, we’re bringing in mentors across legal, finance, sales, product, fundraising and more, and the mentor program kicks off in January 2027. Now we’re looking for the founders they’ll work with.

The Residency is open to STAK Space members, teams with offices on campus and residents of 1900 Broadway. If you’re not on campus yet, apply anyway and we’ll help you find the right fit. We take no equity, so you keep 100% of your company. We review applications on a rolling basis, so applying early gives you the best chance at joining our first group of residents.

"Well, right now, people can't really tell... did AI make that decision or did a person actually look at my application, let's say? And so the problem that we're solving is really that accountability piece." — Sandra Sertel

When artificial intelligence starts making life altering choices on your behalf, such as whether your resume gets rejected or your code gets pushed, figuring out if a human was actually watching is nearly impossible. Host Brian💥 Sparkes caught up with Sandra Sertel, Founder and CEO of Tzun, in the STAK Space studio to dive into the gray areas of automated workflows and why verified oversight is the missing link for modern enterprises.
