New Product Experimentation (NPE) is a community of entrepreneurs at Meta building new experiences that will meaningfully improve people’s lives.
Our goal is to innovate from within Meta by testing and iterating on a diverse set of products, each with their own hypotheses, people problems and target audiences, that can eventually mature into meaningful new opportunities for Meta.
The NPE Residency Program (NPE-RP) is NPE’s new way of enabling Global tech entrepreneurs to make their ideas a reality.
Through the course of this 6-month program, you get the opportunity to work with experienced tech builders to ideate and test your product ideas to solve an important problem experienced by people while partnering with mentors who will support you with a combination of real-world experience, design thinking processes, and access to Meta’s resources.
You will be trained in design thinking processes while prototyping new products through a capstone project, which is part of the curriculum.
Our ideal resident has the ability to work collaboratively in small teams to research a target audience, ideate, prototype, and bring key stakeholders along on the journey.
One area of focus for us is building impactful zero to one social gaming products in Nigeria. This effort is focused on addressing user needs around games that encompasses not only achievement and social connection, but also radical forms of agency.
The successful resident will have deep interest in exploring and designing games around themes and gameplay that are relevant to Nigerian audiences.
They will have a passion for playing and making games and a deep understanding of several aspects of design including levels, control, retention and game-feel.
