Poolside

The Community for Founders Building with AI

[Poolside @PoolsideCo]

Architecture, code, and AI collided to turn an ambitious concept into a buildable design.

@DarkMatteris, one of Poolside members, used it on Casa do Poente, an observatory house in Alentejo. Every angle, every sightline, worked out by prompt before a wall went up.

📒 @portals_fi is a team of nine.

$1B+ routed. 480 protocols across 14 networks. 60M+ API calls a month. A smart order router they built themselves.

One small piece of what the founders inside Poolside have built together. We are glad to be along for it. 🙌

[Poolside @PoolsideCo]

We invest in the earliest stages then stay close: intros and technical help when you’re stuck.

Building with AI and want investors like that?

For a builder, the right intro at the right time changes everything.

We work alongside founders from day one, from fundraising to finding first customers.

At Poolside, we invest at the earliest stages and work alongside founders: capital, introductions, and technical help when it counts.

Founders get access to our 2 coworking spaces in Lisbon, so they can build and scale with the support of a community.

@D3ltaArmy 💯
and everything moves very fast, so they learned to ship under pressure

[Poolside @PoolsideCo]

A few founders at Poolside came from web3.

Some of the habits they picked up are surprisingly useful for building AI products. 🧵

If that's how you build, you'll fit right in. Join us: https://t.co/Y8kU6beEto

3. Adapt quickly.
Web3 moves fast. Narratives shift and yesterday's assumptions can become obsolete.
That comfort with uncertainty is valuable when building in AI.
