the world needs more products like this, less gambling apps.

everybody needs a "first believer"

someone who sees something in you, before you fully believe it yourself

mine was @mickbirch and I'm forever thankful !

who was yours?

Last day to apply for @united_builder season 1!

if you're building something you're irrationally excited about and are ready for a small grant + belief capital, apply now.

If you know a young builder who should see this, share this or tag them below.

I (w/@Tristan_J_Hall) built a <$900 treadmill that lets you walk in any direction in VR. The closest alternatives with similar functionality cost $40,000. Ours works and it's kind of awesome??

About 1.5 weeks ago, we demoed it @socraticainfo's Symposium! Here's the full story of how it came to be…

I trust Robleh and put a small check in to support young builders.

If you have the means, consider it too. :)

[danny @danielnieto_]

here's the thing -- @socraticainfo’s Symposium was deeply inspiring -- from mini TPUs and animatronics, to omni-directional treadmills and MacBooks that acted like samplers.

so…@robjama, @maanavsunman and I asked ourselves how we could keep the momentum going?

we landed on belief + capital, and we’re calling it United Builders 🌐.

we want to see what happens when we fund some of Canada's most curious builders with non-strings attached grants, along with belief and community.

If you’re builder, comment "BUILDER" and I'll dm you a link to apply.

If you want to support, comment "BACKER" and I'll dm you a link to support.

Excited to announce United Builders 🌐 🟢

A microgrant program backing ambitious young builders with up to $1,000 + community. Software, hardware, creative projects, all welcome.

Every founder I know has someone who bet on them before they were ready. That early belief changes everything. We call it Belief Capital.

What shifts a young person's trajectory isn't just money. It's someone believing in their potential long before the world says they're ready.

If you've had success, it's our duty to pay it forward. 100% of donations go directly to builders.

BUILDERS → reply 🌐🌐 and I'll DM the application

BACKERS → reply 🟢🟢 and I'll DM how to contribute
