⅄ Combinator

fund ur ideas. launch a coin and its creator rewards fund whatever the board wants to see exist next.

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

every year, tens of thousands of people apply to accelerators hoping a small group of partners decides their idea deserves capital.

(PLEASE READ PREVIOUS TWEET TO SEE WHY WE RELAUNCHED)

most never get the chance.

Introducing https://t.co/NyaS8d2moh, a different way to decide what gets funded.

anyone can post something they think should exist. anyone can vote on the ideas they want to see built. builders can apply directly to the requests they know how to solve.

the capital comes from the market itself.

coins launched through ⅄ Combinator send their creator rewards into a shared treasury. as those coins trade, the treasury grows and that capital is used to fund builders working on the highest-supported ideas.

launch a coin → creator rewards → treasury → builders

there are no application batches and no waiting months for an interview.

the board is always open.

post the app you wish existed, the tool nobody has built properly, the weird consumer idea you cannot stop thinking about, or the problem you are tired of solving manually.

if enough people want it, it rises.

if you can build it, apply.

grants are paid publicly in SOL with no equity, no token allocation, and nothing owed back.

⅄ Combinator is an experiment in what happens when the internet gets to write the request list, rank it, and fund the people willing to build it.

fund ur ideas.

Paul Graham just called out @garrytan the current CEO of @ycombinator a cockroach.

I created ⅄ Combinator, an on-chain alternative where anyone can post something they think should exist, the public votes on what deserves funding, and creator rewards from launched coins continuously grow the pool of capital available to builders.

request → vote → apply → fund → build

relaunching this because the timing is almost too perfect. there needs to be a new @ycombinator that is not unethical and funds builders.

there might be room for another combinator in town.

@paulg you might want to check us out.

14 yo: If Y Combinator had a mascot, what would it be?

Me: I suppose it would have to be a cockroach.

14 yo: Not a very appealing mascot.

Going live on @pumpfun.

I genuinely believe this is one of the best use cases for creator rewards, and I haven’t seen anyone else use them to fund ideas this way.

launch coins, grow the treasury, vote on the board, fund builders.

@garrytan I’m coming for you.

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

a callout to everyone who got deferred from @ycombinator S26:

keep building.

put the thing you wanted to build on the ⅄ Combinator board, let people decide whether they want it too, and apply for the capital to actually ship it.

you do not need to wait for another batch to take your idea seriously.

there is another combinator in town.

https://t.co/nG0oX2OiU0

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

we’re going to start putting requests up on the board ourselves.

small tools, weird consumer ideas, useful things that should exist, anything where a little capital could be enough to get someone moving.

if you’re a builder and need a few SOL to actually start shipping something, keep an eye on the board and apply to the requests you know you could take on.

we want good ideas to stop dying at “someone should build this.”

https://t.co/nG0oX2OiU0

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

while we have your attention, put the idea you keep wishing someone would build on the board.

there is a new combinator in town.

no application cycle, no waiting room, no pitch deck required. post the ask, let people vote, and if the treasury has the capital, someone can get funded to actually make it real.

https://t.co/nG0oX2OiU0

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

help us put an end to @garrytan’s reign of startup gatekeeping, where a handful of people decide which ideas deserve a shot.

every three months, more than 10,000 companies apply to @ycombinator. roughly 1% get in.

that model has produced incredible companies, but there is something fundamentally funny about thousands of builders asking permission from the same small committee before their idea gets access to capital.

⅄ Combinator flips that around.

post something you think should exist. let everyone vote on it. launch coins whose creator rewards continuously grow the treasury. then use that treasury to fund builders willing to make the highest-supported ideas real.

no interview with Garry required.

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

the board is where ⅄ Combinator decides what gets funded.

anyone can post something they think should exist. builders can then apply directly to the requests they know how to solve.

from there, the treasury reads the board from the top down and pays grants publicly in SOL to the builders selected to ship them.

request → vote → apply → fund → build

https://t.co/NyaS8d2moh turns creator rewards into a funding pool for new ideas. every coin launched through the site permanently directs 0.3% of each buy and sell into the ⅄ Combinator treasury.

anyone can post an idea, vote it up, or apply to build it. as the treasury grows, grants are paid out in SOL to turn the highest-supported ideas into real products.

[⅄ Combinator @lolcombinator]

every year, more than 40,000 companies apply to @ycombinator and roughly 99% of them are deferred.

that leaves an absurd number of people with things they want to build, and an even larger number of ideas that never get capital behind them.

Introducing https://t.co/NyaS8d2moh, a place where anyone can post something they think should exist, launch a coin whose creator rewards help fund it, and vote on which ideas deserve to get built.

every launch is minted on the pumpfun bonding curve, except its creator rewards are permanently directed to the ⅄ Combinator treasury.

as the coins trade, 0.3% of every buy and sell keeps adding to the amount available for grants.

launch a coin → creator rewards → fund ideas

the board decides what should get built. post the app you wish existed, the tool nobody has made properly, the stupid idea that might actually be useful, or the problem you are tired of solving manually.

if other people want it too, it rises.

builders can apply directly to those requests, and grants are paid publicly in SOL with no equity, no tokens, and nothing owed back.

fund ur ideas today.
