Introducing The
FounderX Residency -
The World's 1st Residential Venture Studio
The Best of Our Campus
Our campus is not just another building in the middle of city filled with traffic. With no one and nothing to disturb you - it's a place that offers a transcending experience, an inception with nature and beyond just for you to build your empire in peace.
3 Acre Campus
Our campus comprises 15,000 sq.ft+ of building area split into multiple buildings within a forest.
Forest Area
90% of our campus is a forest filled with wild pigs, snakes, rabbits, chicks, puppies and sometimes even deer.
Proximity
85km to Tuticorin Airport
45km to Tirunelveli
27km to Courtallam
20km to Zoho Tenkasi Campus
Live + Work
You'll live in a 2,000 sq.ft house with high speed internet, dorm rooms, co-working spaces, a training room, a cafe and fully equiped kitchen.
Swimming
We have a 7 feet deep fresh water swimming pool which can be accessed 15 days once.
Stay Fit
Come around our campus in a forest walk or with cycles, use our nets to practice cricket or play badminton, tennis and pickleball.
Clean + Secure
We have people managing the farm, we have a maid who'll clean the property every day, a full time security to keep you safe, and CCTVs covering the entire property.
Future
We have an 8,000 sq.ft industry shed that'll soon be turned into a R&D lab for manufacturing and testing hardware products by the startups from our future cohorts.

Note From Our Founder
We didn’t fail.
We built something too early, too intense, and too different for the moment it existed in.
FounderX Residency wasn’t designed to be easy. It was designed to be transformative. And in doing so, we made choices that limited who could say yes, and how fast we could sustain it.
So we shut it down.
Not as an ending - but as a reset.
Because the belief behind it is still right:
Great founders aren’t found. They’re forged.
We’re rebuilding FounderX Residency to be sharper, faster, and impossible to ignore.
And when we’re back - you won’t miss it.
