​A Cracked Event For Cracked People Building Cracked Tech

​March 8th, 2025 | 1300 CST until exhaustion sets in

​Location: Undisclosed facility between Austin & San Antonio

​This is not your "quick sync about AI" conference. This is not your "enterprise blockchain solution" expo. This is not your "growth hacking masterclass" summit.

​This is Foundation - a raw confluence of minds and machines for those who:

• ​Debug quantum circuits before coffee

• ​Optimize robot kinematics for fun

• ​Consider fusion containment a light afternoon challenge

• ​Actually understand transformer architecture beyond the Medium articles

​What’s Happening

• ​Static fire of actual rocket engines

• ​Multiple prototype aircraft executing flight tests

• ​Near-indestructible robot tank driving through literal fire

• ​Advanced materials stress testing to failure

• ​[REDACTED] demonstrations too wild for public disclosure

• ​Autonomous systems operating in beautiful chaos

• ​Technical debates that go deep, way too late in the night

​Who You'll Collide With

​Technical leads and builders from:

• ​Aerospace: SpaceX, NASA JPL, Skunkworks

• ​Robotics: Boston Dynamics, Neuralink, Apptronik

• ​Advanced Computing: NVIDIA, Palantir, xAI

• ​Energy: MIT, LLE, Base Power, Aalo, Oklo

• ​Defense: Anduril, DARPA

• ​And more organizations pushing physical and theoretical limits

​Plus lone wolves building high powered lasers in garages and PhDs who solve inverse kinematics chains for breakfast.

​The Setting

• ​1,000+ acre ranch turned hard tech testing ground

• ​Texas BBQ dinner, because thermodynamics requires energy input

• ​Massive bonfire under the stars for late-night technical debates

• ​Off-road property tours to showcase testing zones

• ​Ample Parking on site

• ​Limited Shuttles available from Austin

​Important Details

• ​Free, but highly curated attendance

• ​All applications reviewed for technical relevance

• ​Actual location disclosed only to accepted attendees

• ​We have really, really good insurance

​Fair Warnings

• ​Your "disruptive SaaS platform" pitch will not be welcomed

• ​If you think "technical" means "knows Python," this isn't for you

• ​There will be explosions (controlled, mostly)

• ​You might learn something that breaks your brain

• ​You will find your people

​Apply for Access

​Submit your credentials for review. Not everyone gets in. This is how we maintain the highest signal-to-noise ratio in technical events.
