Inception II is happening.
400 builders hybrid on 22–23 August with $5000+ prize pool, powered by @reactorworld
build with world models across:
→ Physical AI & robotics
→ Real-time interactive media
→ Gaming & simulated worlds
bring an idea, find a team, and spend 24 hours turning it into something people can actually interact with.
registrations are open.

Some people support an event. Some people become the reason it runs smoothly.
@JaswanthBeere from @thelaunchd was the latter.
He came to the hacker house, spent time with every builder, listened to their stories, documented their journeys and helped take their work to a wider audience.
And behind the scenes, he helped with event coordination, execution and all the little things that needed attention.
Hardware First would have been much harder to pull off without him.
Thank you, Jaswanth. You were truly part of the team.

India [s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶] {is building} future hardware. 6 days of relentless building.
Hardware-First residency takes off at @thefoundingco_ (Hyderabad)

We didn’t expect finding sponsors to be this hard, especially for an offline program helping serious hardware builders turn their projects into products people can try.
Finding the right builders and partners seemed like the hard part. That turned out to be easy.
We now have 6 builders, 7 mentors and 8 partners. We’re looking for 4 sponsors at ₹50,000 each. Sponsors will be featured in co-branded content, videos documenting the builds, and on the support wall backdrop for our podcast shoots.
If you’d like to back a slot or support us in kind, DM me or @akperala, @buildwithsrini or @JaswanthBeere.
The cohort starts on Nov 1, with product trials and a showcase on Nov 6.

One founder can do a lot in 70 days. Imagine a house full of them.
Introducing Assembly by The Founding Co.
A fully funded, live-in founder residency in Hyderabad.
Our first program brought 12 founders together. Since then, they've raised funding, grown their companies, and started making a dent in their industries.
Now we're opening the doors again. This time, for you and your co-founder to come and build something that lasts!

Variance House is coming to an end!
A month ago, 14 founders moved into a villa in Bengaluru. We got 1200+ applications, picked 14, and gave them 30 days to build.
On Sunday, Oct 18, they demo what they built across Robotics, Aerospace, Biotech and Earth Sciences.
We're keeping the room small, 50-70 people. If you build, back or care about Deep Tech, come see it.

Hyderabad somehow pushed it even further with @thelaunchd
completely different room, completely different energy, and conversations that kept getting better as the night went on.
we need more nights like this.

Met @JaswanthBeere, he’s building @variancehouse, a deeptech residency in Bengaluru. Excited about everything that could come out of this.
And happy birthday @JaswanthBeere! 🎉

Was at @thefoundingco_ last night for a deeptech dinner.
Met people building across biosensors, AI security, defence, water purifiers to OS for Robots.
It was good to just sit with people building very different things, thanks
@FoundingCo, @variancehouse, @theresidency
we’re hosting a dinner to get interesting people working on hard problems in the same room.
with @variancehouse at @thefoundingco_
hosting a small deeptech dinner in hyderabad this weekend with @thelaunchd.
bringing together founders, researchers, engineers, investors and builders working on ai, robotics, hardware, science, infrastructure and other genuinely hard problems.
no panels. no pitch decks. no networking theatre.
just dinner, drinks and good conversations with people building at the edge of what’s possible.
keeping the room small and intentional.
if you’re building in deeptech, come join us.
