AI agents
Ship agents that do real work — research, outreach, ops, support. Build them with people solving the same problems.
Labs is the workshop floor of the movement — AI agents, startups, tools, and operating systems, built in the open with people solving the same problems. Think Y Combinator meets GitHub meets a mastermind.
Ship agents that do real work — research, outreach, ops, support. Build them with people solving the same problems.
Take an idea from zero to first revenue alongside other founders who've done it before.
The dashboards, automations, and workflows that take work off your plate for good.
The repeatable machine that runs your company — documented, automated, and built to scale without you.
Test a business model fast. Get it in front of the room before you bet a year on it.
The weird bets. The new model. The thing that might be the next company.
Labs is for people in motion. Show up with something real: a product, a workflow, an experiment you want to push further.
Post what you ship. Get feedback from operators and builders who've solved the same problem. Momentum compounds when it's visible.
Every shipped project earns a stamp in your Passport and a place in the directory. Real output, on the record.
Tell us what you're building. We'll point you to the next Build Day and open Lab slots.
Grants and sponsorships that link founders and creators to brands. A brand funds your project — $1,000 to $10,000 to build what's next — and gets you as a brand ambassador, creator, or partner. No equity, no gatekeepers, just fuel for the work.
For the first real step — a prototype, a landing page, the tools to test an idea this month.
For a project with traction — a brand funds the build, the automation, or the launch that gets it moving.
For a builder or creator ready to go further — a sponsor bets bigger and gains a long-term ambassador.
Brands and sponsors put up the funding. They back real projects and real creators — and get ambassadors, content, and stories in return.
Founders building a product and creators building an audience tell us what $1–10k would unlock and what they'd ship or make with it.
We connect each founder or creator to a brand that fits. The sponsor funds the project; the builder gets backed — no equity, no gatekeepers.
The builder ships, the brand gains a brand ambassador or creator, and we document the build and tell the story to the whole network.
Founders and creators: tell us what you'd build with $1–10k and we'll match you to a brand. Sponsors: tell us who you're looking to back. We'll make the connection.
Founders, operators, builders, and vetted AI service providers — in one place — plus the opportunity, job, and project boards that connect them. This is where the network turns into deals, hires, and builds.
Deals, collaborations, openings, and partnerships surfaced by the network — the things worth knowing about this week.
Hiring from intelligent companies and the operators building them. Roles for builders, operators, and future founders.
Projects that need a hand — co-founders, contractors, and collaborators matched to the people who can ship them.
The State of the Future Founder Report and the data products that make the movement measurable. If thousands of founders take the Score every year, the benchmark becomes the moat — and this is where it lives.
Trends, shifts, data, opportunities, risks, and predictions — plus the standout founders and operators of the year. The signature artifact of the movement.
Aggregate data from thousands of Founder Scores — averages, rankings, most-improved, and category comparisons. The measurable heartbeat of the ecosystem.
Local development, business openings, permits, and the intelligence shaping the regional market. The wedge, quantified.
How real companies are adopting intelligence — what's working, what's hype, and where the leverage actually is by industry.
Every founder takes it. Every company compares against it. Sponsors want access to it. The media references it. TMI builds on it. A benchmark drawn from thousands of real founders isn't a report — it's an asset no one else can copy.
