Every founder I meet worries about missing this moment. The best worry about wasting it. There’s a difference. It’s a waste to ignore how much the world has changed.

Here’s who we want in the Founder Fellowship now: hardware tinkerers, mad scientists, obsessives, biohackers, people who build nuclear reactors in their basements. People who want to get their hands dirty and touch grass and atoms. If you are only building software, then please (for your own sake!) have a thesis that all your friends laugh at you about.
