Calling for 100 builders

Hi everyone,

I'm so happy to share that we opened up 100 Builders, a 4-week fully online program for people to build and collaborate on bold open source projects in AI and crypto, organized by our small team Backdrop and supported by amazing partners and sponsors.

It is 100% free, and 100% on builders' terms - just a BIG build-that-thing energy for all 100 projects that get selected to participate.

Why open source? you ask...
The battle between open and closed in tech rages on, and even more so in the frontier like AI and Crypto. We have always sided with builders, and builders always side with open technology. So, we're here to give open a little extra weight!

We have a lot more to announce, including details about $20k+ (and counting) in sponsorship for participants. If you are big on building more open tech for AI and Crypto, head to https://100.Builders to apply. It takes 2 minutes.

Applications close on August 10th.

There is a little FAQ here: https://docs.100.builders/100-builders-qs-and-as but you can also shoot an email with any questions to community@100.builders.

If you want more updates on twitter, you can follow our Backdrop account.

We're STOKED to build awesome, open tech together!
