great companies often start with a group behavior emerging within a subculture. the best founders notice the habit before anyone else because they're native to the scene it comes from, and they build a product around it before the market exists.
we call those folks *cultural first movers,* and @Restless_Egg Batch 2 is built for them.
$100k first check + 6mo accelerator for 5%, with up to $175k more tied to milestones.
applications close THIS Friday, July 17. if this sounds like you, or someone you know, apply now at https://t.co/nh6xSoS60M !
Final week to apply for Restless Egg Batch 2. Applications close Friday, July 17, EOD!
Our offer: $100k + a six-month accelerator programme for 5%, with up to an additional $175k available based on milestones.
Our provocation is "Luxury Technology," the point of which is to ask: What is missing from technology products right now? What can cultural first movers see and build that no one else can? What would you make if emerging technology were used to open new forms of experience?
We are looking for cultural first movers turning an obsession or frontier practice into a commercially serious company.
If someone comes to your mind while reading this, please share this or send it to them.

@luusssso@stinsy the quality and historical import of examples matters more than quantity, and by that standard, detroit (fisher, guardian) and nyc (esb, chrysler, rockefeller) have more defensible claims to "greatness" imho. but i agree, even the eastern and wiltern alone put us in the mix!
