But first, a word from our founders:

“Brickyard is the Bermuda Triangle of startups who are serious about what they are doing. If you get in, you disappear here to do nothing but work. 100 hour weeks are the bar.”

“A pressure cooker for finding PMF. When you go there as a team, anyone still on the fence will end up leaving, while the core team is revealed and leans in harder.”

“None of us moved here for the nightlife. We came here to leave it all on the field.”

“Brickyard founders are a different type. Everyone here has put their life on hold to give everything to their company.”

“Brickyard is a simple idea taken very seriously: success is more likely with sustained focus & intensity. It's a dojo built around community and competitive drive. Rocky would be a Yard founder.”

“It’s not an accelerator. I don’t know what to call it, but you can’t understand it unless you’re a Brickyard founder.”

“We needed to divorce ourselves from the distracting elements of startup life that don’t move the needle. It is not possible to do this more effectively than at Brickyard.”

“Being around other Brickyard founders every day and night, who get to know you deeply, understand the pain, celebrate with you, and push you harder…”

“Brickyard puts you in a trance. There is some kind of productivity multiplier here. We all talk about it. When we travel for work, we all feel it. You get less done.”

“Proximity is one of the biggest game changers at Brickyard. Instead of a-sync advice from out-of-touch VCs, you walk 10 feet to ask real operators with no hesitation… the real questions. The partners have your back.”
