Overview
What HAX offers, and who should look closely
What HAX offers
HAX is built for companies whose progress depends on engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, or scientific development. The program brings teams into a shared environment where founders can work with technical staff and prepare for the next financing and product milestones.
How the program works
The published format is a 26-week, in-person cohort in Newark. A cohort can include up to 50 companies. The program is associated with SOSV and is intended for pre-seed companies working in areas such as climate, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and other forms of deep technology.
Who should look closely
HAX is most relevant when a startup needs hands-on technical progress, not only commercial mentorship. Teams that can work fully remotely, do not need physical prototyping, or are further along than pre-seed may find a different program format more useful.

Program fit
Who the program is built for
Good reasons to consider HAX
The company is at pre-seed, needs substantial engineering or physical prototyping, and can benefit from an in-person technical environment. Climate and robotics are explicit focus signals.
Reasons to look elsewhere
The team cannot participate in person, the company has little technical or physical product risk, or the current stage and capital needs are beyond the published format.
