Request for Builders open

Review Full Request for Builders

We have capital committed in flexible formats — direct investment, hackathon prizes, research sprints. We're not locked into one model because the right model doesn't exist yet.

You own what you build. That's non-negotiable. This isn't a one-shot application — it's an open, ongoing process that we invite you to participate in.
