Now that the dust has settled on the news, I wrote down a few reflections on selling Build.
Including how most people had no idea we ran a monthly hackathon/accelerator with thousands of builders almost entirely automated via AI, with one employee half time per week.

Its official - Build has been acquired by Seed Club!
I’m really proud of our team and the Build community, and we couldn’t have found a better partner to make it even better 🚀

Build now has close to 10k builders and 50+ partners, and we'd love to support projects that help make it better, including:
- better ways to find and get up and running with partners
- tools to create/discover demos
- better versions of "request for projects"

One thing we’ve learned from Build is that even the best infra companies see huge dropoff from awareness to adoption.
Published a new article on “Invisible builders” and why the reason for churn is much simpler than what many people think (hint: it’s not PMF).

Pumped to have @limes.eth back for v5 and to help launch WannaBet!
I've already created a bet there that we can launch >420 projects in v5 (thanks @ting for the push to be bold) so plz help me win by inviting your builder friends to v5 in a week as well :)

I'm testing out a cool new onchain project that's going to launch during Build v5 🤫 and I need someone to take the other side of this bet with me for 1 USDC:
">300 projects will submit a launch in Build v5"
Who's up to take the other side? Just drop/send me your ENS.

Serious question — what makes a scenecoin's price go up?
Yes, speculation, but the tipping mechanic (while great for adoption) will generally create downward pressure on prices, which creates some potential FUD. What pushes in the other direction?
@joshcrnls have you written something snappy on this?

this may be a noob question but is there a reason why a thread would shop up fully on @supercast but then only partially on @warpcast? @woj.eth @dwr.eth
There are close to 50 partners supporting builders in Build v5 🤯
Here's a roundup of some of the grants, credits, and other opportunities for builders https://paragraph.xyz/@backdrop/our-v5-partners
We've also grown our network of accelerators and other funding sources where we send top projects 🤝

Two of the big limiting factors we see for builders are:
- having an idea for something that solves a real problem
- getting paid
@bountycaster addresses both, and I’m pumped to announce that they’ll be joining v5 as a partner.
$175k in open bounties, and more coming soon 👀

In the past month, Build graduates (that I know of) have raised >$1.8M and received >$300K in grants.
Especially motivating for me is that in nearly all of those cases it's the first money the project has gotten.

Another day, another Build graduate getting funded 🚀 Congrats Sorbet (Build v2) https://x.com/Adaverse_Acc/status/1792493144308957348
For the past year we’ve run increasingly large programs to support builders at early stages — from “Builder Week” with 10 builders to Build which has 2000 builders in the current program.
Wrote down a few learnings from launching 500+ projects

We're starting to work on collecting the success stories that we hear from Build.
Here are just a few that have happened since v3 ended a month ago — including well over $1M raised/awarded ⚡️

Cool gpt from a builder in v4 (not on FC yet 🙁):
- If you have a project, it helps you find relevant partners from the 35+ in v4
- If you don't know what to build, it connects you with relevant RFPs based on your interests
It's day 2, and Build v4 is shipping 🚀

I would honestly consider paying for a masterclass on creating memes. The true skill of the modern era
Forgot to share the link to Build during the presentation — here it is! https://backdropbuild.com/
Would love to have any Farhack teams continue to make progress in the 4 weeks after the program. Just apply by Sunday and mention you're part of Farhack and we'll get you in. DM me with any questions!
