About us
Life as a Founder can be lonely. And the places where we go for connection are boring. Here, we blend serious ambition with serious fun - plugging in and out, in equal measure. We work harder. Let's play harder.

run your mouth king x
I interviewed the startup community KINGGGG, and he did not disappoint! After Oxford, Josh had three "prestigious" paths laid out for him: consulting, banking, or law. He said no to all three and became an early-stage startup operator instead. 6 years in startups later, he's watched every major accelerator model up close, which is exactly why his opinions on them hit different. Meet Josh Tulloch 🔌 (JT) Josh is the co-founder of PLUGGED, one of London's most vibeyyyy startup communities. Founders in the Plugged ecosystem have now raised $153M+ from investors including YC, Sequoia Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz. So when Josh talks, the ecosystem takeeesss notes 📝. And he came thick and fast with his opinions on startup programmes in the UK, how they compare to the US, and how they compare to each other (some juicy stories 👀). And he came ready to spill. In this episode, we get into: 1. Entrepreneurs First or YC: which one should you actually pick? 2. Why he thinks universities will be redundant in 5 years (max). 3. Three signs you're definitely ready to quit your job and build. 4. Are founders born or made? 5. How to structure your VC deal so you're not left with scraps at exit. 6. Why Josh thinks the best talent making McKinsey & Company slides is a tragedy. Thank you, Josh, for being this honest. Not everyone will agree with every take. But conversations like this are the ones that move the ecosystem forward, and we need more of them, not less. 🎙️ Episode is OUT NOW. Watch here on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/ekwQJFRp WOULD LOVE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS! 💙

the warnings we've received are clear: in 2036, an agentic attack will cripple our financial systems, leading to the destruction of humanity as we know it we now have 10 years to prepare. 10 years to find the individuals capable of fighting back. speed build is how we find you: - $20,000 on the clock, dropping every minute. - overcome blind technical challenges. - the quicker you build, the more you win. livestreamed for the world to see. this is not a hackathon.

$20,000 on the clock every minute, the pot goes down the quicker you build, the more money you win not a hackathon a recruitment exercise to face the greatest threat humanity has ever known we're looking for the fastest minds alive.
