Side project Accelerator
This accelerator is designed for those weekend projects to work with the community and launch. Our mantra is to build an audience first before building products. We experiment with new ideas and businesses models.
Let’s build the next big thing right here.
Become a member to bring your own project or get assigned to utilize our network and community to scale.
Build with the community. Launching a startup takes a community. Without a community is hard to grow the user base and build products that people want.
