Is the Raleigh startup scene thriving? For many, it is. Absolutely. You've got a great community of current and exited founders who stay involved with the scene. For us, it's just not where it's at. I was talking with someone last week who was happy to take a meeting to talk about data analytics and he opined that we should build our company anywhere but Raleigh. Eh. I think I'm going to avoid people in general for a bit and not even worry about anything outside of a very narrow focus. Our webapp build is almost complete, we're approaching 500 users, and our newest competitors are all talk but no action. While they're focused on vanity metrics to justify their very existence, and large cash hauls, we're aiming for something much bigger; an actual business that provides something of value to our users and customers. Rant over. #StartupJourney #founder #tech #raleigh

With the last day of buildspace being today, I'm stoked to announce that the *official* launch of my deep-tech community will be on August 11th IRL in SF @ a 10-bedroom, 2-floor, 6400 sqft hacker house! 🤩 🎉 over the course of the last 6 weeks, I was hit with constructive feedback and advice on how to grow the community to serve everyone in the deep-tech industry. With that, I've realized that many founders that I've come across were not only on the border of turning 26, or were already over the cutoff, which sucked because I really wanted them to be part of what I was building. btw, it's called U25 ^ anyways, along the way I've met honestly the coolest people I never thought I'd have the opportunity to meet --- from investors at institutional funds to family offices, all the way down to the founders building the next billion-dollar companies changing the way we think about legacy industries. on that note, I think the best way to include everyone, regardless of the age range is to have 2 communities under one common ☂️ - non-transactional relationships and friendships for a lifetime + mentors that guide you in areas that you aren't too good at (IMO deep-tech founders have the most amount of domain expertise, but struggle with GTM, yapping, HR, etc) U25 - founders 25➖ Ancient-Innovations (jk, need to come up with a fire name for them) - founders 25➕ The ☂️ is: "to be able to bounce off ideas, find mentors, and make non-transactional friends to accelerate projects in climate, frontier, bio/health, defense, robotics, energy, hardware, and space verticals" I want to shout out everyone who has helped me and came to the first event - I am super excited to see how this turns out 1-3 years from now 👀 Teo Gumusoglu, Natalie Neptune, Grace Gong, Eli Al-Shamari, Jenny Tang, Presence Plumb, Colton Kaplan, Sweekrit Bhatnagar, Jack Agolli, Kyle Valiton, Alexandra Debow, Khushi Gupta, Sasha Przybylski, Josh Cons, Alex Libre, michael raspuzzi, Pradyu Kandala, Zeal Caiden, Alex Zhao, Ryan Rong, Kyler W., Grant Stenger, Oliver Bonallack, Gabriel D'Alton, Tristin Chambers, Woovin Shin, Flor Ronsmans De Vry, Harshil Ahuja, Ker Lee Yap, Aidan Ardell, Neel Jain, Kate Sullivan, Jake Marchand, MBA, Langston Nashold, David Freed, Cythika Bopearachchi, Farza Majeed To launch this, Jenny Tang and I are hosting the first-ever IRL event in SF on August 11th at an SF Hacker House for founders and investors in this space! Hope to see you there 😁 https://lu.ma/bm99qnf6

Today is a kick-off day for the first cohort of the yard[hub] web3 Growth Camp! This acceleration program will last for 12 weeks, covering all key elements needed to launch a web3 startup MVP and scale it into a viable venture. The first module devoted to business model creation and evaluation will be available today. We are happy to welcome 18 projects accepted out of over 100 applicants. When choosing a project for the cohort, we've looked at the team, idea, and current progress. A very important factor in our decision was our ability to help the project and deliver value. This led us to reject a few fantastic teams - we just didn't feel the web3 Growth Camp could help them the way we expect to provide benefit to all the participants. The final list of the projects for Cohort 1 and their respected founders: Solex.ai | Dima Orendarets ATYUM | Víctor Pérez Reals | Hammad Ali DeCenter AI | Victor Kaycee EdChess | Vladislav Korshunov Apes Planet Battle | Carmelo Ippolito Compayer | Vasily K. Stargazer | Max Slyzkouh Learnify | Thibaud Souchal GGEM | Ruslan Volodkovichz MO Community / Pura Vida Global | Emanuel Toledo Gratie Protocol | Ragul Vasudevan ShoppleVerse™ | Olarinoye Ashraf Scorefam | Simisoluwa A. Jupiter Star | Mohammad Ramezani Clorophilla.io | Cosmin Belgun Lulo Invest | Juan Altonaga RIFT Studios | Alexander Shoucair We will begin showcasing these projects as the accelerator program unveils, asking the founders to share their experience and entrepreneurial journey insights.

It all starts when we have a "give first" mentality........together we make a real impact on the trajectory of young startups. Read more from Joe Poeschl

What have I learned after working with 300+ tech startup founders through the FOR-M incubator? 🙌 Community Matters More 🙌 Wait... More than the business model? More than the growth strategy? More than getting the first customer? More than the idea itself?!? In the early stages.... yeah! It's a community's ability to make connections, provide support, offer feedback, and lend advice that *really* matters for an early-stage founder. It's a powerful - and fast - litmus test. It's all the stuff you can't find in the right YouTube video or the right book. There's plenty of great content out there, but those videos and books aren't going to sit down with you to whiteboard things out. They won't help you get the connections you need or help you take your next step. They definitely won't pick you up when you hit a roadblock and are thinking about giving up on your dream. A great community will do all of that. And that's why it matters more. It's also why we invest our energy in fostering a strong #mketech community. We're kicking off our TENTH cohort of the FOR-M Startup Incubator next month and we're hosting another Founders Day next week. Join us! 🙌 Apply for the FOR-M Incubator: https://lnkd.in/geg-G5ba (spots are filling fast) 🙌 Register for Founders Day on August 28th: https://lnkd.in/gEMpC8pk ------------------------------------ These efforts are made possible by MKE Tech Hub Coalition Margarida Fernandes Midwest Founders Community Ward 4 CSA Partners, LLC MKEStartup.News and many others working hard to grow our community!
