“[Tsai CITY] is designed to work for you, rather than for some other external metrics. It's this space where, if I need inspiration, I can come to a talk. If I need some advice, I can ask to be connected with a mentor. If I need someone to listen to me. I can come to the space and see a friendly face and share what I'm working on.”

Intensives are hands-on, multi-session learning experiences designed with depth and intentionality. Each program brings together diverse cohorts to explore themes like product development and climate innovation.
Mentorship is a core part of the student experience at Tsai CITY. Students can connect with our team during open office hours to discuss ideas, get feedback, or explore new directions. For those working on ventures or projects, we also offer structured mentorship through our dynamic network of experienced advisors.
