Partnerships

Shared experiments, not logo wallpaper.

Institutions, collectives and builders testing a meaningful idea together.

The Hub Bengaluru and Night School are the standing platforms most partnerships run through.

Why it exists

Sponsorship buys attention. Partnership builds something. This page is only about the second.

It sets expectations before the first call.

Start with the question, the people it matters to, and what we can actually make.

Be clear about what may remain unfinished when the experiment ends.

Where partnerships land:

If the partnership only makes sense in a press release, it does not make sense.

The community is not inventory.

We agree the shared artifact, each side's contribution and the end date.

Results are published, including the ones that did not work.

Fact: The Hub Bengaluru has operated as a physical home for builders since 2016.

Interpretation: The partnerships that worked were the ones with a shared room in them.

Experiment: Publishing partnership outcomes, including failures.

Ambition: Partnerships judged by what participants did afterwards.

Last reviewed: September 2026.

Bring the idea and who it is for. We will find the format.
