No Degree Required
We do not require a university degree simply to prove that someone belongs in a technical environment. We look at evidence of ability.
Technical Ability. Real Opportunities.
Oboukhov identifies exceptional technical talent and connects it with exclusive opportunities.
What you can do matters more than where you learned it. No degree required. No traditional path required. Just demonstrated ability.

What We Stand For
We evaluate technical ability — not educational pedigree.
Evidence Over Credentials
Software projects, research, open-source contributions, competitions, and independent work can all demonstrate technical competence.
Opportunity Through Ability
Membership opens access to selective opportunities from laboratories, startups, and technology companies that value real technical skill.
Built for unconventional paths
Your path doesn't have to look conventional for your ability to be real.
Maybe you learned to program instead of studying it in a classroom. Maybe you built projects independently, contributed to open source, or developed machine learning systems on your own time.
Technical ability
Recognized by what you've built and solved.
Selective access
Opportunities reserved for members who demonstrate exceptional talent.
Partner-led placements
Our role is to identify talent. Partners provide the opportunity.
