Live and work in Florianopolis during the full Magic Island month.
Self-serve Residency
A self-serve residency for builders arriving on the island.
A month-long base inside Magic Island.
Come to Florianopolis for August and use the month to build a current, new, special, or exclusive project. The residency is not a classroom program. It happens as people arrive on Magic Island and move through the place, calendar, partner access, meetings, and density.
You build your project while using the city, calendar, people, and access around you.
Founders pay for travel and accommodation. Acceleration is embedded in the residency.
What it is
A self-serve residency, not a traditional accelerator.
The residency is the builder-side experience of Magic Island. Founders, builders, and squads come to Florianopolis for August and use the environment to build, launch, announce, test, or deepen a project.
There is no separate acceleration fee. The value comes from calendar density, local access, Magic Island touchpoints, Startup Summit and Investor Week energy, peer support, and the practical momentum of living and building in the same place for a month.
What is included
The accelerator layer is already around you.
- A Magic Island base for focused work, peer support, and community density.
- Access to the Magic Island calendar across partner events, dinners, workshops, and local experiences.
- Relevant introductions to local partners, founders, investors, venues, and ecosystem operators.
- A month structured around building, meetings, launches, announcements, and momentum.
