Herald Labs is a Lagos-based AI hacker house. We give fresh grads a stipend, a house, and a simple mandate: build with AI agents and ship working demos.
3-bed house in Ojota, Lagos. Shared workspace, high-speed internet, backup power. All costs covered.
Focus on building, not survival. You'll receive a stipend for the duration of the residency.
Direct access to AI engineering mentors. API credits, cloud infra, and build tools provided.
Short MCQ (Python fundamentals) + a form about your AI curiosity and building experience.
Build an AI-powered tool from a prompt. Submit your repo, a short walkthrough video, and a traces.com recording of your entire build session.
Work on real projects with other candidates. Daily demos, mentorship, and a final handoff test. We measure iteration quality, not output volume.
Quick chat with our founder. If you've shipped this far, this is usually a formality.
Task-specific agents for insurance, compliance, and enterprise workflows. Ship to real users.
Dashboards, automation pipelines, and data tools for partner companies.
New AI capabilities, open-source contributions, and research prototypes. We publish what we learn.
Cohort 1 is selecting 3 residents. Applications close soon.
