That’s something I could potentially fund. No equity, just pro-bono / repay if it works out. Feel free to reach out and chat if it’s a dream you believe in.
I could definitely get off the ground for much less, but having rent/bills covered to go all-in, and capital for speed-to-market / competitive advantage is real nice. As long as I have a legally maximized control of the charter considering the investment, I'm happy to give up future cash. To me, realized gains is a byproduct of viably bringing the product to the world. But doing the thing is the purpose.
And it would free up my time to focus on scaling and experimenting instead of assembling.
I'm genuinely taken back by that offer, and I'll be reaching out to your email with an introduction. Thank you for reaching out.
"8k-ish" I read this as k8s-ish... which makes me thing maybe 8k-ish could be your product name, as a play on k8s-ish. That said... ive been learning kubernetes lately and it doesn't necessarily relate to AI.
I like that. It's a very on the nose name right now. I'm considering a flight to Anguilla to see a man about a parked domain (after the competition), if that gives any context to the brevity and nature of the name.
The fundamental product is large and physically involved, with the 'AI' under the hood to sort of Pixar the whole experience and make the 'game' more satisfying, connected, and fulfilling. Sort of a means to progress, in a general sense.
As someone who has a lot of tinkering and research underway on a big idea, this motivates me to scrap and scrounge to get the demo party together.
Spending 8k-ish to build a product demo for my friends rich uncle is too uphill for me to risk. But for this, I mean fuck yeah.
