TEAMS AT THE GUILD

We understand that creating holistic products requires holistic teams! Each role will have its own detailed timeline that will outline what members need to bring success to their team. This will incorporate specialized mentorship sessions that will shed light on aspects of development only experience can highlight.

Guild teams will be made out of 6 people. Individuals will register with up to two roles as their primary and secondary commitments.
