The Archive retweetledi

Last summer, we created @thearchivefund in 2 weeks. A scrappy, half-thought-out microgrant that funded side quests over startups.
Everything from idea to launch felt like a fever dream.
And, it was kinda terrifying.
To be honest, I was pretty scared that dropping a semester's worth of my tuition on a project that came to life as fast as it had entered my head was destined to fail.
But oh, was I wrong.
Turns out, taking a chance on things that truly embody the type of change you want to see in the world is almost ALWAYS worth it.
In literally a week, @thearchivefund BLEW UP. Global reach. Hundreds of applications and dozens of adventures that literally made our entire team say “wtf how do ppl think of this”.
In the end, we funded 7 stories all over the world that showed us exactly why we wanted this to happen in the first place.
It was stressful, fast, but the most rewarding summer I’ve ever had, and now, we’re so excited to be able to share what this project grew into in the short months that it ran.
Huge thanks to @applejuiceizy for producing our video once again, @aridutilh @0xTraderJoes and everyone else who took a chance on what this could be.
This wouldn’t have been possible without you.
