Can't say enough good things about the @focal_vc team. We were fortunate enough to have them back us early. If you've been thinking about starting something, check out Southbound.
Congrats on the launch @PascalUnger@SydneyWasi@DanielDarling
Anyone can build now. Few dare to aim big enough.
That's why we're launching Southbound W27 by @thelabmiami & @focal_vc today.
Code is now cheap, abundant, and written by machines. Whatβs scarce is real ambition, intelligence, compute, and distribution.
It's what Southbound is built for: To help the best technical founders think bigger and move faster from day 1.
We're now opening applications to the second cohort of our winter residency.
If you want to:
- Escape the cold
- Work on an absurdly ambitious problem, surrounded by your best technical peers
- Get weekly mentorship by unicorn founders
- Funding on an uncapped MFN SAFE (vs giving up 7%)
- $1M in perks and compute
- and much more
... then join us in Miami from Jan 11 - Apr 11 2027.
Southbound is:
- Limited to 10 spots (teams or solo founders)
- Fully in person in Miami
- 7 days / week in office.
The cohort is small by design: Instead of being a number in a big batch, you get a hand-picked group of your best peers, weekly dinners with unicorn founders, and real time with focalβs GPs.
Rolling admission until all 10 spots are filled / applications close Dec 11.
Apply asap (link in comments!)

After 32 years of fandom it took this post for me to realize that the Canucks logo has the orca breaking out of ice π€¦π»ββοΈ
Am I the only one?
Ps. Our remix jerseys is such a miss.
Okay. Longtime jersey collector here... Let's go over the pros and cons of this new #Canucks jersey.
1. The shoulder patch is π₯ (shouldn't be the focal point for the positives, but...)
2. The crest is decent I would have made the ice that the whale is breaking out white or different.
3. The sleeve piping. Subtle, but cool if that's meant to be the skyline.
4. The three-colour numbers. Glad they added the dark blue in between the white and light blue. The font is whatever, I get the small "V" at the top of the numbers.
Overall: B -
Well functioning countryβ’ π¨π¦
I'm happy we're not changing timezones next week but man, timezones across the country are going to be an adjustment.
@Copasetic_ILL@Canucks@DetroitRedWings Hahaha ayyyy. I
I'm predicting EP40, Lekk, and Karlsson or Sasson on the scoreboard tonight. Would love to see a MerilΓ€inen shutout but will go with 4-3 regulation dub.
LFGGG!!! @SanketM321 and @AlthraIncubator building something special right here in Vancouver. You absolutely love to see it.
Love being involved with this community. Keep up the great work π€
