EX Venture Academy · Bali
Real Projects.
Real Stakes.
Real Results.
26 nations. Six months. One campus.
International apprenticeship programme where students work inside live EX Venture companies — building real products for real customers. No grades. No exams. Market feedback only.
The Programme
A Different Kind of Education
Students from 26 nations converge on our Bali campus to embed inside the eight operating companies of EX Venture. You don't study the business — you build it.
Real Projects
Not simulations. Not case studies. You ship real products for EX Venture's portfolio companies from week one — and customers decide whether your work is good enough.
Global Community
Cohorts run from twenty-six nations. Different operating systems, different problem-framing, different networks. The mix is the curriculum.
Bali Campus
A working campus — not a retreat. Deep work mornings, team sprints through the afternoon, open kitchen evenings. Designed around how real ventures actually get built.
In the Field
Build the CV you can't fake.
Six months in Bali inside live ventures. You leave with something you actually built, the people who watched you build it, and a reference class that opens doors traditional credentials can't.
Philosophy
Why EX Academy is different
We threw out the parts of education that don't survive contact with the real world — and kept the parts that do.
No Grades
We don't rank students against each other. You either deliver to the customer, or you don't. The market gives the feedback — and it's more honest than any professor.
No Exams
Memorisation doesn't matter in the real economy. What matters is your ability to think, ship, and adapt under pressure — so that's what we measure.
Real Accountability
Real clients. Real deadlines. Real consequences when something breaks. You learn what it actually takes to be trusted as a professional builder.
Mentor Access
Your mentors are founders and CEOs currently building EX Venture's portfolio — not retired academics. They review your work because it's their product too.
Investment Ready
You leave with a portfolio of shipped work and a network that actually funds things. Alumni have launched ventures backed by EX Venture and its partners.
Global Perspective
Twenty-six nations in one cohort means you stop solving problems the way your home country taught you to. International thinking becomes second nature.
The Network
Our Community
EX Academy is more than a programme — it's a launchpad for global builders. Our alumni are founding companies, joining leadership teams at scale-ups, and embedding the EX operating mindset inside established organisations worldwide.
The network is small by design, deep by intent.
Join 26 nations of ambitious builders.
