🌴 Lisk Builders Retreat: Bali 2025
What is this about?
The Lisk Builders Retreat is a one-of-a-kind experience: part builder bootcamp, part tropical escape — designed to give top Lisk builders a powerful stage to refine, showcase, and accelerate their projects.
Over 7 days in a private villa in Bali, selected builders from our incubators and BUIDL-athons across Southeast Asia will come together for:
2 - 3 days of intensive training with mentorship and pitch roasting sessions
Fun activities woven throughout the week
Demo Day on August 20, where you’ll present your project to potential partners, investors, and the Lisk community
End off the week by going to Coinfest Bali, the world’s largest Web3 festival
Who is it for?
This retreat is invite-only, curated for the most promising teams and individuals actively building through our SEA-based Lisk programs. We’re selecting builders who are ready to ship, pitch, and scale.
This will be a platform to sharpen your narrative, accelerate your momentum, and connect with the people who can take your project further.
If selected, your experience is fully sponsored. All you need to cover is your own flight — we’ll take care of the rest.
