Hacking IAP – Everydai

The Time is Now: The 1-Month Startup Experiment

What once took years can now be achieved in weeks. Imagine delivering a Series B-level product in a single month. The ability to build at this pace creates an undeniable edge, but it also opens a narrow window before this capability becomes widely accessible. The market will inevitably catch up as enterprises build tools in-house and startups flood the ecosystem. For a brief period of time, executing extremely well in a very short period promises to be very lucrative. The majority of the population (read: customers) are not yet aware of these tools but are eager to use their budgets to explore AI solutions.

With these tools, the paradigm is shifting from spending months validating ideas. AI enables us to understand specifications, pressure-test concepts, and iterate faster than ever. Distribution is becoming the critical bottleneck. The ability to act quickly—to claim market share and gather the data that creates defensible moats—has never been more valuable.

At MIT, the Independent Activities Period (IAP) presents the perfect opportunity to harness this moment. It's a time for experimentation, innovation, and collaboration—a fertile ground for builders to come together and transform ideas into reality. By forming a community of entrepreneurial-minded students, supported by staff for product and go-to-market motions, we can aim higher: building not just products, but entire companies in a month.

The power of this community lies in its collective energy. Drawing inspiration from the Sundai Club ethos—ship in a day—we'll foster a fast-paced, iterative environment where ideas are validated, refined, and executed with urgency. The goal is to move quickly but meaningfully, leveraging shared knowledge, AI tools, and a support system of staff mentors to focus not just on building, but on selling, iterating, and scaling.

This isn't just about hacking for hacking's sake; it's about applying the latest tools and frameworks to create real, impactful ventures. The timing couldn't be better. AI tools are rapidly democratizing development, but the market isn't yet saturated. By utilizing MIT's resources, networks, and culture of innovation, we can not only create products but also set the foundation for startups that outlast the moment and shape the future.

Everydai is an exclusive opportunity from Sundai to be part of a transformative experiment in company building. We're creating a dedicated community of builders who are serious about leveraging AI to create impactful ventures during MIT's IAP.

Whether you already have a venture in mind or are eager to explore possibilities, what matters is your commitment to building. This isn't just about coding—it's about creating companies that matter.

In partnership with the MIT Media Lab and the AI for Impact class, we're bringing together ambitious builders who are ready to shape the future. No equity required—we're invested in your growth and success.

Join us in this unique experiment where community meets innovation. Be prepared to build, learn, and create something extraordinary.

This is not a structured program—it's a collaborative environment where resources, ideas, and knowledge flow freely. Come ready to contribute, share, and grow together. Let's see what we can build together in a month.
