A global entrepreneurship school for young founders who want to build real businesses, not sit in classrooms.
Kora is a 6-month residential program where ambitious students build real, revenue-generating businesses from scratch.
Weekly deliverables, daily standups, and monthly KPIs that keep you accountable.
1-on-1 guidance from founders who've built and scaled real companies.
Surrounded by builders as ambitious and driven as you are.
Housing, meals, and workspace designed for deep focus and momentum.
Clear MRR targets each month. You leave with a profitable business, not just an idea.
From zero to revenue. Here's how we get you there.
Learn real-world sales and marketing skills by doing. No textbooks — just hands-on experience that teaches you how to find customers and close deals.
Pick your path and start building. You'll get a full AI-native tech stack, access to interns, and your first seed check from the Kora Fund to acquire customers.
Make your first revenue and scale to 100 clients. This is where you prove product-market fit and build the foundation for serious growth.
Double down on what's working. Leave Kora with a real, revenue-generating business and the skills to keep growing it. Optional pitch deck support for those exploring fundraising.
Students choose 1 of 4 business paths to build.
AI tools, SaaS, Apps
D2C, Dropshipping
Lead gen, B2B services
Mediatech, Newsletters
We take care of life. You take care of business.
2 per room, same gender, in a founder house. Fast wifi, dedicated desk, surrounded by people building just as hard.
Three meals a day. Healthy and local. Zero time wasted on groceries or cooking.
Sales. Growth. Ops. Finance. Taught by ex-founders who've scaled companies — not professors who read about them.
Weekly 1-on-1s with founders who've been in the trenches. Accountability meets real talk.
Daily fitness classes. Building a company is a marathon — we keep you in peak condition.
A curated cohort of ambitious builders from around the world. Your future co-founders, collaborators, and lifelong friends.
5+ experiences throughout the program. Skiing in Gudauri, hiking the Caucasus Mountains, wine tasting in Kakheti, exploring ancient cave cities, and more.
Not just skills. Real results.
A real business generating real income. Not a pitch deck. Not a prototype. Revenue.
Unit economics that work. Customers who pay. A company that sustains itself.
Ambitious builders from around the world who become collaborators, co-founders, and lifelong friends.
Alumni network, mentor relationships, and investor connections that compound over your career.
Join a cohort of ambitious founders who are serious about building real companies. We're selective because your peers matter as much as the program.
$20K MRR target — Leave with a real, profitable business generating serious revenue.
Structured accountability — Weekly deliverables, monthly revenue targets, daily standups.
Cohorts start July & January — Choose the start date that works for you.

Takes 2 minutes. We'll be in touch within 48 hours.
Business schools teach theory through case studies. At Kora, you build a real business from Week 4 — forming an LLC, acquiring customers, and generating actual revenue. You learn by doing, surrounded by peers who are equally committed to building.
We look for curious, action-oriented, and globally adaptable individuals.
Six months of: shared accommodation (2 per room, same gender), three daily meals, weekly workshops, 1-on-1 mentorship, fitness classes, workspace access, and a $1,000-$3,000 seed check from the Kora Fund to get your first customers. Flights are not included.
We run two cohorts per year — July and January. Each cohort is kept small to ensure personalized mentorship and a tight community of founders who actually know each other.
No. Month 1 is dedicated to discovering and validating ideas. Many founders arrive with just a general interest area. What matters is your drive to build, not your current idea.
You leave with a real business generating revenue, a global network of fellow founders, and ongoing access to our mentor and investor network. Many continue building, some raise funding, others join fellow alumni's startups.
Yes. We offer need-based scholarships and payment plans for exceptional candidates who demonstrate strong potential but face financial constraints. Share your situation in your application and we'll discuss options.
