Launching the Alive Prize. $100K to build what makes you come alive. I've been fixated on a quote from Howard Thurman lately: "Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." We want to help more people find that feeling. aliveprize.com/

I (w/@Tristan_J_Hall) built a <$900 treadmill that lets you walk in any direction in VR. The closest alternatives with similar functionality cost $40,000. Ours works and it's kind of awesome?? About 1.5 weeks ago, we demoed it @socraticainfo's Symposium! Here's the full story of how it came to be…

8 months of iteration shown in 8 min @chloe_h_nguyen and I demoed our low-cost, open source omnidirectional treadmill on stage to 2000 people at @socraticainfo Symposium 2026! To everyone in the audience and all who came by our booth to test it out - I hope we managed to spark your imagination A huge thank you to the Socratica Team; our supporters, @mergedotclub, @aridutilh, @1517fund, @William_Blake, @bagelfund, @AlexaKayman, @0xTraderJoes, @danielnieto_ , @robjama; and everyone else who helped along the way (@rishiosaur, @nef_isa )

it’s a tragedy to watch young people gain access to the most powerful AI tools to date & immediately jump to launching slop. if you know your talent would be wasted on ai email farms or social media bots, I’d encourage you to: 1/ buy your first arduino 2/ read about esoteric industries that actually support the world 3/ build something out of your league that matters We support 14yr olds building for offshore wind, local agriculture, and more at @bagelfund. Don’t waste your youth on things that don’t matter.

10 days ago, I stepped down from being the CRO of @Cluely. After a yc fintech at 16, scaling legacy co's, and supporting 8 figure deals, Cluely was a one of a kind experience. @im_roy_lee and @neelyweely23 truly think, live, and build differently. I'm wishing the tribe the best. I'm excited to pursue hard problems in new industries this year. TBA soon : )
