From finance in New York to entertainment in Los Angeles, energy in Houston to technology in San Francisco, Tetr Pathfinder is more than a summer camp or summer school experience. It's ten weeks inside the industries that run America, in the cities that built them, alongside students from some of the world's top schools.
Whether you're drawn to entrepreneurship, technology, policy, or media, Tetr Pathfinder puts you in the room where it happens. Identify opportunities, test ideas, and build an AI product inspired by what you see, culminating in a final pitch presentation in Los Angeles.
Your details have been successfully submitted.
Our team will review your information and get back to you shortly.
Itineraries are indicative and subject to change.
Everything you've seen across ten cities leads here, to a venture you've built yourself.
Your team identifies a real problem, builds an AI product around it with seed funding and mentor support, and pitches it in Los Angeles before a jury of founders, investors, and industry leaders. The winning team takes home a $10,000 venture grant.
This isn't a classroom assignment. It's the start of something real.

Spend ten weeks exploring industries and career paths up close, so you leave with a clearer sense of direction than most students find in years of searching.
Trading floors. Space programs. Government think tanks. Hollywood studios. With the founders, policymakers, engineers, and executives actually running them.
Founders, engineers, musicians, policymakers, and community leaders who will tell you things no textbook covers.
Work with your team to identify an opportunity, develop a venture, and pressure-test your ideas with mentors and operators across ten weeks.
A final pitch in Los Angeles. A venture you built from scratch. A global peer network. And a much clearer sense of what you want to study, build, and pursue next.
