Self-serve residency
A month-long residency, embedded in Magic Island.
The self-serve residency takes place as people arrive on Magic Island for August. Founders, builders, and squads use the month to build, launch, meet, and move through the calendar at their own pace.
Participants handle travel and accommodation. The value comes from the island, the calendar, the people, and the access already around the month.
