Real grind.

Learn. Hustle. Grow.

Who it is for

You already sell at home. Here you earn the US.

Ten founders. You land with meetings booked. You leave with the company set up and a real customer in it: a proposal they can sign, or a close.

The market is here: enterprise tech, manufacturing, energy, semiconductors, healthcare. Tesla, Dell, Apple, and Samsung run major operations around Austin. You walk into that. The meetings are yours.

On your feet

Fieldwork.

The room teaches you. Austin tests you. Same week, every week, until a customer is real.

  • Same week

    The lesson leaves the room. You use it in the city before the week is over.

  • Their room

    Buyers. Partners. Operators. You ask for the deal. You follow until they answer.

  • Until it moves

    A proposal a customer can sign, or a close. That is the bar for all ninety days.

A week with no meeting in front of someone who can move the deal is a week you still owe.

  1. 1

    February

    Learn

    One on one with people who have been there and done that. Culture, taxes, payroll, marketing, sales, support, PR. The US company starts this month. You use it the same week.

  2. 2

    March

    Hustle

    The heavy month. You are in the city. SXSW runs March 15–21. Innovation badge included. Meetings, follow-ups, the deal. Some events may carry a charge. You still show up.

  3. 3

    April

    Grow

    By April 30 you have a real customer in it: a proposal they can sign, or a close. Demo day is April 24. You say what you came for and what you got. The stay ends April 30. Check-ins run through July.

Where you sleep

Sleep. Cook. Get back out.

Twin share near Downtown Austin, with a kitchen. The exact place is told when you want to visit. SXSW is March 15–21. The Innovation badge is included. The house is for the night. The day is in the city.

Begin

Ten seats. Then this cohort is closed.

Selection is this fall, for February 1 to April 30, 2027. Bring a company that already sells somewhere. By the end, a real customer: a proposal they can sign, or a close. When you go back, a Man Made Space membership can carry the work, on a contract of 6, 12, or 18 months. Write hello@manmade.space with who you are and what you already sell.
