Mission
Turn blocked potential into shipped products.
Brilliance is evenly distributed, but tooling budgets are not. Premium AI subscriptions are a massive barrier for college students, early-stage founders, and international builders alike. We level the playing field for anyone ready to build in public.
Fund access
Donations pool into annual scholarships, breaking down the cost barrier for college students, bootstrapped founders, and international builders.
