# Akva.io — Technical Co-founder Residency

Akva.io is the application portal for the Technical Co-founder Residency — a 12-week paid programme run by Akvasoft for engineers, hardware engineers, and UX designers in Sri Lanka. Selected applicants build a real software product from zero, with mentorship from founders who've shipped before. If the project grows, Akvasoft connects the builder with investors. If it doesn't grow, the best engineers join Akvasoft as full-time team members.
