Builders don’t just need support. They need the right support at the right stage. Grants and accelerators matter. They give builders runway, structure and access. But once you’re actually in the ecosystem building, sometimes what you need is much more practical. For example: > Access to the right people > Real users and useful feedback > Distribution to the right audience > Warm introductions to partners and investors > Technical support that removes friction > Capital at the right stage > People who open doors, not just give advice I think we spend a lot of time asking, “how do we support builders?” Maybe the better question is: “What’s blocking this builder right now, and who can help remove it?”
