Wefunder

We're taking @Amtrak to visit founders and investors across the US from Emeryville to DC for the next two weeks. See which cities we're stopping by and join us for a cold beer: wefunder.com/train Trains are slow but romantic :) Goodbye, Portland and hello Whitefish!

@VictorTaelin 👀

Please do not over-hype this post! HOC is doing a $4m post-seed at $100m valuation to build a dataset with the shortest possible solution (in BLC length) for each ARC Prize instance, and use it to tune SupGen. Our immediate goal is to achieve 85% at <$1 per task, validating the efficiency of a Symbolic Transformer, and justifying scaling it futurelly. I'm very optimistic about this direction, but, like any research, it could fail for several reasons. Per multiple requests, we let anyone invest through Wefounder, so anyone can own a slice of HOC now. This gives you ownership of our IP (HVM, Kind, Bend, SupGen), access to our internal research and progress, and to all future revenue (if we ever get there 🙂). DO NOT INVEST IF: - My posts read like ancient Sumarian to you - There's any word above you don't understand - You like Bend/HVM, but not our current AI direction - You do not think our approach makes sense - You think AGI and ARC AGI are the same thing - You feel like LLMs will achieve AGI in 2025-2026 - You can not afford losing that money Invest if your own logical reasoning leads you to believe this research direction will work, and is willing to take the bet. Again: these funds will be used exclusively to turn SupGen into a Symbolic Transformer, and attempt to tackle ARC AGI by EOY 2025. It isn't to build AGI. It isn't to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. It isn't even to create a product (yet!). HOC is a research lab. If none of this makes sense DO NOT INVEST. I'll start meeting VCs now and my goal is to complete this round through February, otherwise we'll go back do old plans. For questions, contact: investors at higherorderco dot com. DO NOT INVEST IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING

@aopuzzle @mercury @Replit @LumaLabsAI @midjourney @GroqInc Replit actually did a community round in 2022: wefunder.com/replit 🫡

@mercury Not sure why other companies who have rich and active communities dont allow participation .. is it just too hard? From the outside it doesnt look hard to work with @Wefunder to pull such offerings off. @Replit @LumaLabsAI @midjourney @GroqInc r on top of my list..

@sundeep Would have really liked to invest in @GroqInc as an angel. Any reason to not do something like what Mercury did: mercury.com/blog/inside-me… ?

@strommen Joe, we're so sorry we didn't see this earlier. Our event was delayed due to a train delay.. Were you able to see the adjusted time and make it to the event? Sorry about that!

@Wefunder Where are you at in Minneapolis? I had planned to come to your event but I see it's still TBD on the website...

Grand Forks is an underrated town with dirt race cars, $5 cocktails, top aviation programs and genuine people. It didn't take too long to cross the state line and now we're in Minnesota after a long delay. We're in Minneapolis today and Milwaukee tomorrow. What should we do?

Wefunder is on a mission to create millions of new angel investors. Robinhood for startups. Latest count: 349,502. With 48,689 investing since the start of 2024.

Now in Grand Forks, North Dakota. DM us if you want to meet us before we get on the night train!

These founders raising $50K through a community round on @Wefunder. 97% gross margins. 200% MoM growth. Huge TAM (e.g. Sprite). SAFE with a $2M cap, 20% discount.

We out here in Whitefish, MT... taking lots of calls and meeting founders and investors in between rafting, horseback riding + shooting 🔫!

Our 4th adventure together, Amtrak 😍

First stop, Pickle in Portland.

Pickleball with @Wefunder 🎉🏓

Starting on July 4th, our entire @Wefunder team is riding @Amtrak across America. 77% of VC dollars go to three states today (California, New York and Massachusetts). But we believe that the democratization of angel investing can fix that.

@clayrunhq Let the community invest ❤️

@ftnabeelah @brettdash_ @FrontFundr Mmmmh 👀

"We saw so much success with having Billy Joe [lead singer of Green Day] go to @Wefunder and wire $100k. It's so easy." — Founder on a call just now. How amazing is this?

@safwaankay Gotta come visit us at Wefunder HQ — we got a lot of silly and adventurous people. We also like hosting stuff 🤝
