Questions

Before you apply

Is this paid?

No. The Lab is a free learning program. Students who stand out are interviewed for internships at Qlooto Technologies.

Do I need a startup idea to join?

No. Many students join to learn how businesses work. You will be encouraged to develop an idea during the 12 weeks.

Why real estate?

Qlooto.com is a real estate platform, and real estate is a useful market to study: it involves pricing, policy, finance, marketing and trust. Reading it daily trains you to think like a founder about any market.

What if I miss a day?

You lose that day's points and your streak resets. Nothing else. Weekly sessions and assignments matter more.

Does Qlooto take a share of my startup?

No. Mentorship gives Qlooto no equity or rights in your idea unless both sides agree to it separately in writing.

Do I need to know coding?

No. Good testers notice what confuses real users. Coding helps with technical and security testing, but it is not required.
