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! Apply Now. thefounding.co/apply

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

LES FUCKING GO Won the #inception2 hackathon, interactive media track. × started with zero knowledge of world models. Started with reading docs of @reactorworld × moved around for hours because I couldn't decide on what to build. Then talked to my girl. Taught her what world models are. She told me what she would like to see if she could interact with media in real time. Decided upon the idea of interactive fables. × thought about how I could make it easy for kids to interact with the story. And @FishAudio was right there (got free creds for it) × connected it all with a director layer using haiku (got free claude creds in the raffle hehe) Props to @raina_sai and the team at @thelaunchd for managing the hackathon both online and offline at the same time.

Last weekend, we hosted Inception, a 24-hour hackathon in Bangalore, India. Our thanks to the 400+ builders who delivered over 100 projects using Reactor's API across three tracks: gaming, storytelling, and robotics. See you again soon!

Last weekend was spent judiciously!! Developed an embodied Sim environment for training drones in low visibility zones using RLS. What an event! Credits: @thelaunchd @reactorworld @Boudatw @AnthropicAI @paytm @FishAudio @WillowVoiceAI @taiuti @interact_studio

What if you could experience audio, instead of just listening? Me and @LatentDhruva built Jubilee using @reactorworld X2 + @Meta @ray_ban at Inception 2.0 by @thelaunchd × @interact_studio. Our take on the future of audio. 👀

Two days of building, learning, breaking things, and meeting some really great people. Big thanks to everyone who made Inception II happen and to everyone I got to build with. Had a really good time. Until the next one @JaswanthBeere @MaxMill06 @reactorworld @thelaunchd @Paytm
