Monad Foundry Shanghai
Foundry is Monad Foundation's closed-door builder residency. 1 week. One room. The best founders, capital, and resources in one place.
Foundry Shanghai runs May 25-29 at Mu Shanghai, the invite-only tech residency hosted at Alibaba's Shanghai campus. We're inviting 20+ teams to have real conversations, and direct access to the people who can move your project forward. We will eventually select 6–8 teams to participate in the Demo Day.
What we bring to the room:
Talent. A curated cohort of the strongest builders on Monad, or those seriously considering it. You're not pitching strangers. You're working alongside peers who are solving hard problems at the same stage as you.
Capital. Direct face time with investors from China and overseas. Not a pitch competition. Real conversations, warm intros, and a Demo Day where you show what you've built to the people who write checks.
Resources. Working sessions with the Monad ecosystem team. Closed-door mentoring from top crypto founders. Connections to leading players across fintech, AI, and traditional finance in China.
