Formidable Builders

Progress starts with work. Permission comes later.

hello world!

Introducing Formidable Builders @formidablebldrs

A community built by and for people who ship.
Because progress starts with work.
Permission comes later.

Two years ago, I unintentionally organized the first @euacc meetup, one week after @levelsio published the manifesto.

It began as a humble e/acc meetup for techno-optimists in Bucharest, inspired by @beffjezos. I wanted to meet people who believe that technology, ambition, and agency could build a better future, faster.

Since then, more than 300 people have joined our meetups and weekly coworking sessions. Our WhatsApp community has grown to over 150 builders.

They pushed me to look further, think bigger, and build something that exceeded all my expectations.

Today, eu/acc Romania becomes Formidable Builders.

This community belongs to the people who are part of it.

Because these people are formidable!

first prototype coming soon

[Gabriel Moncha @gabimoncha]

This is exactly why I started @formidablebldrs

One of my goals is to bring these people together. They are already ambitious. They are already cracked. They are formidable!

What I think we miss is the actual societal mindset that provides the right environment for them to grow and expand beyond our imagination and spectrum of possibilities.

This is our goal. To scale it and accelerate this!

Another piece of organizing our @formidablebldrs GTM Skillathon: a live submission board.

The submission skill helped teams submit their projects. The board made it possible to see what had come through.

It pulled from the same GitHub submission records, giving participants and organizers one place to check the state of submissions as the deadline approached.

The lesson I’d reuse: make the outcome as visible as the submission process. Once someone submits, they should be able to check that it worked.

Before presenting their submissions at our GTM Skillathon, we stressed out a little our attendees by surprising them with a few questions about their experience here.

Some were still trying to concentrate… good thing we didn’t bother them 😇

[Gabriel Moncha @gabimoncha]

here's my first interview from the GTM Skillathon w/ @cochinescu

he's definitely more used than me to have a camera shoved in his face 🥲

[Formidable Builders @formidablebldrs]

We interviewed some of the GTM Skillathon attendees to find out what they worked on.

Figured we should start the series with the winning team:
🥇 agentmarkup [dot] dev by @cochinescu & @elitepax

Meet Sebastian, founder of @animafelixapp!🤘

[DHH @dhh]

Agency is rarely given. It’s taken, then recognized.

[stepfanie tyler @stepfanie]

Stop being a little bitch.

Accelerate.

[DHH @dhh]

It's never too late to discover your courage.

This is a massive, coordinated, international conspiracy campaign to monopolize ASI and be put in charge of the world government effort behind closed doors by the Doomers

Do not trust them one second

Allow yourself to be wrong and open to change your opinions

Most people think they live like this, but this in itself is a strong opinion strongly held

[@levelsio @levelsio]

The smartest people I know have strong opinions weakly held and change them when new information arises

The dumbest people I know keep their opinions the same just so they can remain consistent

Time changes too fast try remain consistent, better to sail the waves to wherever they are taking you!

Becoming formidable is a choice!

[Gabriel Moncha @gabimoncha]

Winning is choice!
Optimism is a choice!
Getting back up is a choice!
Seeing failure as a win is a choice!
Changing your mindset is a choice!
Doing extraordinary things is a choice!

We're so lucky to have a CTO (Chief Token Officer) like him! 🔥

[Formidable Builders @formidablebldrs]

Most people don't know that @le_alecs has burned 10x more tokens than everyone combined to prepare the hackathon, probably.

Setting up the repo, evals, submissions app, jury app, AI reviewer, running all the submissions live during the presentations, and the winners website. 🔥

[Alex Constantin @le_alecs]

At our @formidablebldrs GTM Skillathon, “submit my project” was something you could ask your agent to do.

We gave teams a GitHub template and a submission skill. It checked their files, helped them submit, and returned either an acceptance or what needed fixing.
I evaluated the submissions on my MacBook, so having the same format for everyone mattered.

The lesson I’d reuse: make submitting easy before people start building. Put the requirements and the checks inside the workflow they’re already using.

Here’s the template: https://t.co/b1d5xD6yin
