Can you raise 8M without saying a word?

So, I just had my first good phone call with a conversational AI voice model. The model was made by Boardy with the idea that it can be a connector between different people in the world. I talked about my latest project Sidequest and it connected me with a professional in non-profit funding!

I discovered them since they went semi viral on X after the AI allegedly raised their latest 8M$ funding round all by itself.

Overall I’ve seen the newest generations of models do so much. This one dude built a nuclear fusor with the help of prior expert calls and AI analyzing the data of the experts during a 36h live stream. And even if these examples are exaggerated, they are still unbelievable compared to the exaggerated stories from 3 months ago.

Go build cool shit plz!

Last Chance to Join Sidequest

So if you missed our last weeks newsletter, we launched a new project called Sidequest. Its a collective of builders, hackers, entrepreneurs, artists & more where the common denominator is that we’re here to do stuff instead of complaining.

We’re trying out a 6 week builder program where you can build anything and we’ll help you launch it to whoever you feel is the correct audience. 100% building your own shit, 0% bullshit, from the builders to the builders.

So whether you are thinking about building AI solutions, Robotics, Music, short films or rockets, go check us out from the link below. The program is nights & weekends, so you can do this besides school, work or any other obligations you have in your life.

Go sign up!

Always build more cool shit!
