Stochastic Labs convenes leading creative minds in the SF bay area and beyond for conversations about the future of technology, science, entrepreneurship, and the arts (in a curious Victorian mansion in Berkeley). Events are by invitation but you can apply for seed funds for your creative tech venture (we take no equity) or to be an artist/engineer in residence (yes, there’s a laser-cutter and a tower).

Seed Funds
Unlike traditional tech incubators that fast track participants towards minimal viable product, Stochastic offers a more reflective, creative environment wherein founders are encouraged to ask big picture questions about the future of technology.
Residencies
Are you an engineer, artist, scientist, entrepreneur or something inbetween? Our residency program supports antidisciplinary thinkers and creators as they pioneer the technologies, art works, and research that will shape our collective future.
Community
Creative coders. Data poets. AR/VR auteurs. Machine-learning virtuosos. Stochastic Labs community members meet at the unchartered intersections that will map the next generation of innovation.
