Lore has it that Y Combinator emerged almost spontaneously.

The plan was deceptively simple: build a community of entrepreneurs who care about each other – and support them. 

Pre-permissionless Farcaster was very much the same: a rag-tag group of builders huddled around a campfire during the winter.  

What if we could…

• Bottle and replicate the pre-permissionless Farcaster ethos, at scale?
  
  

• Start from first principles to build a new social investing model that complements established venture capital funds?
