Why projects love it

● Freedom to iterate and experiment without the pressure of
full-time commitment and investors.
● YC-style support week-by-week our team through a workshop and
one-one session.
● Like-minded people working together towards a common
mission means greater synergy, collaborating and a constant
positive feedback loop and competitive environment.
