Pie Fi

Pie Fi is a builder-first launchpad based in Santa Cruz. We support early-stage student and community founders with mentorship, microgrants, and a physical clubhouse designed to help them ship real products. Our core program, "10 in 10," selects 10 teams for 10 weeks of focused product building. Teams receive hands-on guidance, access to essential tools and credits, and clear milestones leading up to a public Demo Day at the Museum of Art and History. We are part accelerator, part clubhouse, and part late-night pizza jam. But most of all, we are a community. At Pie Fi, builders don't wait. They ship.
