The @StarknetFndn is launching two exciting programs for developers and founders in August.

Both programs will run in parallel, and we’ll bring the two cohorts together to make magic happen at the hackathon!

If you’re interested in @Starknet, now’s the perfect time to join us👇

Almost two years into my time at the @StarknetFndn, I represented SNF on stage for the first time, moderating the VC panel at Stark Space with @FryCookVC, @0xPranav and Vishesh during @EFDevcon Mumbai.

I’m not a fan of public speaking AT ALL, but @DerekFlossman encouraged me to think of it as having a nice conversation with friends in my living room. So there I was, chatting with three “friends” I’d met five minutes earlier, with 160+ strangers joining us in the “living room” 🤣

I was so nervous that I could only look at my panelists the whole time, but it turned out to be a really interesting conversation. Having talked to our ecosystem founders over this year certainly helped a lot! I asked questions imagining I was one of the early-stage founders sitting in the audience: What would I want to know from investors? What could I do to stand out to them? What have investors been interested in over the past year, and what are they looking forward to in 2027?

One thing all the panelists agreed on is that one of the most valuable traits in a founder is the ability to take feedback. I think this applies to all of us, no matter what position we’re in. All we can do is take feedback and keep challenging ourselves to be better!

We're hosting more “living room chats with friends” with investors and founders in the future, so stay tuned and join us next time :))

If you join the @StarknetFndn weekly Learning Club, you'll get 5 out of 5 for sure, cuz you learn from the best: @henrlihenrli @franklyteddy @adrien_lacombe 🤓

If you're coming to Devcon Mumbai, come join us at the Payments Night with @StarknetFndn and @DashXHQ on Nov 2!

Something fun coming on Oct 8!!
