Really like the simplicity of the exexcution here, and the clarity of the concept. Launch reminded me of clanker in some ways, in the best sense.
with my work back in the day I became super aware a week or two post launch how we were helping to solve for a gap in the funding market. What was it? Our space was filled with funded startups, and super large scale, established incumbents. But our smol home also had essentially no scalable solutions for funding solo founders w/o big-name rep, and the centralized social hierarchy meant anyone outstide the established influencer class or Current Thing cabal really struggled to get any attention on the feed. Builders were attracted to the tool kit available on bae and fc, but aside from Dan and Jesse posting about projects, who was really funding these kind of devs?
A few boutique options were available. Degen DAO, purple, base grants, OP retro funding all come to mind. No shade to these btw, great initiatives.
Clanker provided day 0 revenue and marketing
