Morell: we back ambitious young founders with 1 hour decisions.

We'll wire you $5,000 if you answer 10 questions about yourself and what you're building. Applications open for 1 hour each month, and we only accept founders 18 through 22 who live in the United States.

I co-founded my first company in high school and dropped out of college to keep going on a more ambitious one. I talk to a lot of young founders and they all say the same thing, I've got this sick idea but I'm broke. No investor wants to write a first check to someone with no track record and no traction, but don't worry I gotchu ;)

Once a month, we open applications for 1 hour. You answer 10 questions and upload a short video about yourself and what you're building, or what you want to build. I don't need some polished AI slop, I just want to hear about you. When the hour closes, we read every submission, pick one founder, and wire them $5,000 within the next hour. It's for your company, whether that's expenses, servers, or getting incorporated. If you haven't formed a company yet, we'll send the money once you do.

The money comes as a SAFE on a $10 million cap, and the terms are the same for everyone. That means we get a small slice of your company when you raise your first priced round. I'm not going to pretend $5,000 builds a company. But it keeps the Claude Code subscription active and an AWS bill from burning a hole in your pocket while you find the first people who believe in you.

What matters most to us is the relationship, you can talk to us anytime you've got startup questions or need advice. Get hyped and good luck.
