@hthieblot 100к founders. Huge!

We just finished reviewing applications for Canopy. The team worked 14-hour days for the past 10 days. Most online applications were completed today, so if you applied for the online program, you still have a good chance of getting in tonight at 10 PM. I’ve watched so many videos at 1.5x and 2x speed that it feels weird to hear people in real life. There were so many great teams—unfortunately, we couldn’t accept everyone. We’re stretching our in-person slots to the limits of our facility. If you were rejected, it’s just a matter of time before you get in. Keep trying, raise your ambitions, build an amazing team, and gain more momentum. I’m excited to meet everyone on Wednesday for kickoff. It’s going to be special—our first hybrid program, both in-person and online. It’s also our first time doing this, so expect some hiccups, but we’ll keep improving. This is the work of our lives. Our mission is to help 100,000 +founders start the journey regardless if we finance you or not.

Almost done reviewing for Canopy. Emails going out at 10 PM.

@marcrandolph "small city with an active startup community of its own."🤔🤔

If you want to succeed with an early-stage startup, your best move might be far away from Silicon Valley, to a small city with an active startup community of its own.

Spotted this at Subway Station today. Appreciate seeing the @MTA recognize Autism Acceptance Month in such a visible public way. Acceptance starts with awareness, but it has to go further — toward understanding, dignity, inclusion, and real support for autistic people and families. Thank you, @MTA . #AutismAcceptanceMonth #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiversity #MTA

@jakobdiepen @khawajasn @ShinkeiSystems @foundersfund @8vc @DiscipulusVent true!

🐟 🇺🇸 @khawajasn is building robots that make fish taste better and last longer at @ShinkeiSystems (backed by @foundersfund, @8vc and more) His one piece of advice for early stage hardtech founders in the @DiscipulusVent Cohort: "The most important thing for founders to get right is an accurate understanding of the value they create for their target supply chain."

Honored to share that @PigPugHealth has been selected as a finalist in the 9th edition of the Fundación @MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards, representing the United States. This recognition is deeply meaningful. We started @PigPugHealth because too many children with ADHD and autism lack access to effective, personalized support. Thank you to Fundación MAPFRE, IE University, and our incredible coaching team for believing in our mission. And to every family we've worked with — you are the reason we keep building. The finals are next. We're ready. fundacionmapfre.org/en/awards-aids… #FundacionMAPFRE #SocialInnovation #MindMuscle #Neurofeedback #ADHD #Autism #HealthTech #Innovation
