I’m hosting an event next Sunday!
Half Day Build: Go from idea to revenue in 12 hours!
An event in which people build products in public, simultaneously, for 12 hours straight.
If you’ve ever been tempted to build something but lacked the support system, this is the event for you. A bunch of us will gather on a temporary discord, exchange ideas and help each other make our ideas a reality in under 12 hours.
We’ve got builders from all over the globe, some experienced, and some complete newbies.
​Join us? It's free, fun, and you'll learn a ton.
