☀️ Introducing Friends With Builders ☀️

FWBuilders is a new program designed to champion builders who move between code, design, infrastructure and culture. 

Not a hackathon. Not an accelerator. FWBuilders is an R&D lab for building cultural applications of emerging tech. If you’ve ever shipped something weird and beautiful because it just needed to exist, this program is for you. 

Before opening up the program more broadly later this year, we're rolling out a six-week FWBuilders Alpha Cohort from May 2 to June 10 to test and refine our approach to cultivating creative technologists. The benefits of joining the FWBuilders Alpha Cohort: 

✺ $20K+ in dev credits from our partner ecosystem
✺ Expert-led workshops & mentorship
✺ DevRel support
✺ Builder matchmaking
✺ Showcase work to FWB network

If you ever felt like you were building in the wrong room, this is the right one. Applications for the Alpha Cohort open today through April 28.

Sharpen your craft + Build novel applications + Grow your network

The FWBuilders Alpha Cohort focuses on agentic AI: autonomous tools that combine AI, crypto rails, and onchain coordination. Example projects we’d be stoked to see: 

✺ Wallet-integrated agent copilots
✺ Smart contract-aware AI interfaces
✺ Decentralized knowledge assistants
✺ Autonomous UX flows and programmable agents

You don’t need a full-stack résumé. You do need curiosity, taste and a desire to build with a squad. Applications for the Alpha Cohort open today through April 28.
