    Tapped In Residency

    Program Type:90-Day Professional Accelerator
    Admissions:Competitive / Selection-Based

    Program Overview

    Tapped In is a private network for Black male founders executing at a high level. The Residency is how we identify and train the next generation of operators to work at that same pace.

    We select residents for a 90-day sprint to work directly with leadership and staff on building the brand. The standard here is high because the members we serve are high-performing. This role requires autonomy and the ability to execute without constant supervision.

    Residents gain unrestricted access to our strategy, direct mentorship from the Founder, and a verified case study for their portfolio. We are looking for results, not potential.

    ⚠️ This is an UNPAID, educational residency designed for portfolio building.
