Today I'm shooting my shot and applying for the O'Shaughnessy Ventures Fellowship in *public*. 1 year. $100k. To build your life's work. I'm applying to build the 100 School; the most accessible and impactful pathway for anyone to learn tech skills. 3 reasons why I'm applying: 1️⃣ It’s personal I was the non-techie ideas guy. Since learning no-code and AI, my life's changed. I want more people to experience this transformation and bring their ideas to life without dependency on others. 2️⃣ I'm obsessed with one question How can I build a scalable (async), accessible (free, non-time intensive) and transformational (learner acquires skills that can solve real world problems + have proof of new skill) learning experience? 3️⃣ It's pressing If we let the gap get bigger between people and industries that can and can't leverage the power of tech, deep socio-economic inequality will unfold. It's that simple. And here's my 1 min pitch 👇 Whilst I haven't found that zinging one liner to describe what "it is" or shed my camera shyness 😅, all that matters is 1. I have a deep conviction in what we're building 2. We're building momentum (10k learners start April 1st) A special thanks to @jposhaughnessy and @patrick_oshag for making this creation vehicle 🙏 That's all (comment below if you have any feedback)
