Introducing: Permissionless Initial Pump Offerings (IPOs) ⚡️ IPOs let any early-stage Project raise up to 300 Sol, while allowing traders to bet on early-stage teams Launch or back your first IPO today. More info below 👇
Build in Public Sprint - Day 6/7: Launch Day Isn’t Magic. Only 5 days left since the first @Pumpfun Hackathon winner got announced — prep your shining moment now. ✨
Build in Public Sprint — Day 5/7: Community → Believers → Backers You don’t need 5k members. You need 50 believers who show up daily. What to do today - Pick one home (TG/Discord/X community) + post daily updates/special hints inside - Reward early believers (whitelist is powerful for IPO launches) Common mistake Chasing follower count instead of building user habits. Action Invite your first 20–50 users into a group and commit to daily updates for 7 days.
Build in Public Sprint - Day 4/7: Attention > Features In this red market, you can't win by "good tech". You win by creating attention + emotion… then converting it into feedback + distribution. What to do today 1) Tie your build to what people already care about. Prediction markets/ AI agents / automation / “make money while you sleep”. 2) Pick 1 sharp pain. Obsess over it. “I missed the signal.” / “I don’t know what to bet.” / “No time.” 3) Write a hook that sells the outcome. Make it a desire. Not architecture. Trigger curiosity/greed/status/FOMO. 4) Distribute like a hunter No “post & pray.” DM, replies, threads, QT. Common mistake: building quietly for “one big launch day.” That’s how you die with zero users.
Build in Public Sprint - Day 3/7: Validate demand with behavior, not opinions. Don’t ask if people like your project. See if they actually use it. What to do today 1. DM 10 target users “Try this today: what broke/confused you?” 2. Post a teaser clip (10–30 s) Show the loop → add 1 clear CTA (join waitlist / try demo / reply “TEST”) 3. Track 1 real signal - return users - bookmarked/shared - asked for access / invited a friend Common mistake: Staying silent until the product feels “perfect.” Action: Share 1 proof today (screenshot/ metric/ clip), and end with one clear CTA.
Build in Public Sprint - Day 2/7: Build the smallest MVP that creates evidence. Your MVP isn’t a smaller version of the final product. It’s the fastest path to proof. What to do today - Build one core action + one clear output (something users will screenshot/ comeback tomorrow) - Add 1 metric: plays/scans/votes/creates/streaks - Ship a demo users can try in under 60 seconds Common mistake Polishing UI before the loop works. Action Post a 10s demo clip + link. Spread your vision.
Build in Public Sprint — Day 1/7: Find an idea the market can understand in 10 seconds Most projects don’t fail because of tech. They fail because nobody cares enough to watch the proof happen. Right now, the trend is obvious: AI agents that do real work (ex: @openclaw-style workflows). So today, don’t pitch a “platform.” Build a tiny loop that creates a reaction. What to do today 1. Write one clear problem (specific user, specific pain) 2. Design a 60-second loop: try → result → share 3. Make daily proof effortless: screenshot/clip/simple metric 4. Make it trigger emotion: curiosity, “wtf”, relief, greed, status. Common mistake: Starting with a “big platform” without a clear USP, especially when others already do it. Action: Reply with your 1-liner: “We’re building X for Y so they can Z.”
The $3M @pumpfun hackathon is close. Want to go from idea → MVP → validation → marketing → community → IPO → post-launch fast? We’re dropping a 7-day Build in Public Sprint with simple steps + daily actions. Follow along. Ship with us.
