Self-serve residency
A month-long residency, embedded in Magic Island.
The self-serve residency takes place as people arrive on Magic Island for August. Founders, builders, and squads use the month to build, launch, meet, and move through the calendar at their own pace.
Participants handle travel and accommodation. The value comes from the island, the calendar, the people, and the access already around the month.

Proposed campaign layers include a branded electric bus connecting airport, hubs, and campaign locations, plus a Web3-enabled loyalty card framed as points, access, and partner benefits.
Partners
Year one is about activation.
Success means many organizations activate, even if immediate revenue is zero, because proof and participation make next-year funding easier.
Sponsors, local entities, media partners, event hosts, and FIT founding-member candidates all belong in the conversation.
