About Blackbox
Blackbox is a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit working to elevate entrepreneurs everywhere. Our entrepreneur-first approach is grounded in two fundamental beliefs: that entrepreneurs are the core engine for global economic growth, and that they need someone in their corner as they build the future. By helping talented startup founders emerge as stronger leaders, we empower Blackboxers to redefine what’s possible for themselves, their company, their community, and the world.

Our alumni community spans the globe
350+ entrepreneurs in more than 60 countries
Blackboxers hail from every continent, forming a globally-connected network of like-minded leaders. From Buenos Aires to Beirut, they are leading the transformation of startup ecosystems into innovation hubs.
What is Blackbox Connect?
Blackbox Connect, our flagship two-week residential program in Silicon Valley, is open to global startup founders seeking to hone their craft of entrepreneurship, amplify their drive, and fortify the foundation of their startup. Together with a hand-picked cohort of startup founders from across the globe, Blackboxers are hosted at Fact0ry, a San Francisco-based innovation hub where talent from around the world gathers to disrupt their thinking and create the future. Blackbox Connect 19 is taking place from August 14-25.
