Stochastic Labs Residencies
Stochastic Labs (Berkeley, CA)
Creative freedom.
Tools. Community.
Stochastic Labs awards fully sponsored residencies to exceptional engineers, artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs from around the world. Residencies are of variable length and include a private apartment at the mansion, co-working and/or dedicated work space, shop access (laser cutter, 3D printer etc), a $1k monthly stipend and a budget for materials. Residents become part of Stochastic’s creative community, participating in weekly dinners and invitation events. Residents may apply as individuals or as teams. While applicants may be at any stage in their career, the selection is highly competitive.
What kinds of projects are you looking for?
Projects can be in any medium! We love getting proposals from creative coders, deep learning enthusiasts, AR/VR auteurs, game and app developers, neuroscientists, bio-designers, roboticists, data artists, musicians, animators, animal behaviorists, physicists, and world builders of all kinds. If you have a hard time explaining what kind of artist or engineer you are, this probably is the place for you.
Do you take an equity stake?
Nope!
what about iP?
It’s all yours.
Do we have to be a for profit venture?
We prefer this, but it’s not a requirement. Just tell us a little more about how you plan to reach your audience or user base.
If we are applying as a team, how big/small can we be?
Teams are usually 2-4 people, but we will occasionally accommodate larger groups.
Can we work offsite?
Stochastic is a highly creative, collaborative environment and your physical presence is part of the magic! Of course, we encourage team members to work with local labs, businesses, and other partners, but ask that a significant percentage of work hours are spent onsite in order to benefit most from our unique community.
Are social events, presentations, and talks mandatory?
We strongly encourage you to attend all social events but attendance is only formally required at weekly dinners.
