We're launching a new programme specifically for teams building technology for animal protection: the Animal Rights Coding Camp (ARCC).
What is ARCC?
ARCC is an intensive 4-week pre-accelerator for teams who already have a working prototype and are ready to pitch to investors. It's designed as a fast-track pathway into our full 12-week accelerator.
How It Works
Week 1 is all about pitching. You arrive at our Bengaluru campus, refine your pitch with mentors, and present to investors by the end of the week. This isn't a practice run — these are real funders looking for projects to support.
Weeks 2-3 are focused on building. Based on feedback from investors and mentors, you refine your product, run user tests with movement organisations, and iterate fast.
Week 4 is graduation. Programme leads assess whether your project is ready for the full accelerator. Teams that graduate move directly into the next cohort. Teams that need more technical development are routed to our bootcamp for additional training.
What We Provide
- Accommodation in Bengaluru for the 4-week programme
- Meals at the Campus cafe
- Dedicated compute and infrastructure resources
- Technical mentorship from Open Paws and Electric Sheep
- Direct access to investors in week 1
- User testing sessions with animal protection organisations
Entry Requirements
ARCC isn't for beginners. You need:
- A working prototype you can demo on day one
- A clear problem statement focused on animal protection
- At least one team member who can be in-person in Bengaluru for 4 weeks
