@ycombinator @gentrajectory @ycombinator I hope that proof solo founders can also be effective, is it harder? oh Yes but doable

In just ~3 months, as a solo founder with no prior robotics experience, @gentrajectory trained a foundation model for dexterous manipulation that lets humanoid robots pick up unseen objects and perform real-world work. It generalizes to novel objects and scenes, including cases where prior SoTA models achieve 0% success. Congrats on the launch @joshuabelofsky! ycombinator.com/launches/P6q-g…

That’s the issue @PitchSphere is tackling: a private dealroom where Web3 founders meet aligned investors. $38M deployed this year into vetted projects. 🔗 If you wanna join, visit: apply.pitchsphere.com Founders raising or looking for the right partners?

📢Today, we launched the Rural and Francophone Community Immigration pilots. We also announced which communities will be participating: canada.ca/en/immigration… These pilots will allow selected communities to attract and keep newcomers who can fill important local jobs and integrate. If you’re already living in a smaller Canadian town or city, or are interested in doing so, one of these pilots could be for you!

@DarrelFrater Can you bring me up for this session. Thanks
