How do I apply?

Great question! You can apply here.



Where is Recess Labs?

Recess Labs is based in New York City.



Do I need to be in NYC to participate?

For the most part, you need to be either based in NYC or join us for one of our retreats. At some point we may open up the community to remote participants. If you're interested in participating remotely or bringing a Recess chapter to your city, please let us know here.



When is Recess Labs?

While we used to operate a 3-month, cohort-based program, Recess Labs currently operates as an ongoing community based in NYC. Coworking jams happen weekly, and retreats happen several times a year.



I have a full-time job. Can I still join?

If you've given notice at your job or are planning to make a move in the next 6 months, you're welcome to apply. If you'd be interested in a more regular nights & weekends program, please let us know.



How does Recess Labs make money?

Right now, we don't. More on this soon :)



How long can I participate in the community?

Membership is continuous, though we may occasionally "graduate" people who are no longer a fit or have become disruptive in some way.



Have there been any significant outcomes from Recess?

Yep! We've had people start companies, raise significant capital, break into VC, leave VC for ops, write novels, start podcasts, and go on all sorts of adventures.



How can I contact you?

Shoot us an e-mail and we're happy to answer any other questions you might have.



How can I stay in the loop?
