I took a week off from writing Founders Fuel.

For those who don’t know, my main day job is to run the Aaltoes summer accelerator program Ignite and our batch started 1 hour ago 🥳 

This year we have 14 teams finding their footing, searching for the elusive product market fit and hustling about to find their first customers.

A ton of new stuff in the JS framework space.
