💡 What Makes the Academy Different?

At EX Venture Academy, learning isn’t passive.
We skip the case studies — and go straight to building.

Participants join us in Bali to:

  • Work on real     AI + startup projects
  • Support     active companies in our portfolio
  • Co-create     growth strategies, product plans, and go-to-market campaigns
  • Learn     directly from founders and executives, in real time

Whether it’s helping Zero X build global traction, supporting Gemino AI in automating complex business workflows, or scaling marketing with LIV, participants aren’t learning theory — they’re making impact from week one.

 

🌴 Why Bali?

Bali is becoming a global hub for startups, wellness, and digital innovation.
The academy blends:

  • A creative,     high-energy startup environment
  • Access to     real companies, real mentorship, real deadlines
  • A     wellness-first setting that promotes longevity, balance, and focus

As one participant put it:

“EX Venture Academy felt like a rocket launch into the real world.”

Another alumna added:

“I wasn’t just observing — I was part of the core team making key business decisions.”
