FOMO (noun)
A referral-based network of founders, builders, and investors across San Francisco, New York, London, Munich, and Paris.
March. Where should we begin?
New builders, new cities, and a lineup of events we've been putting together, including a few of our own.
Let's get into it.
The Foundry.
We introduced it last month. Now it’s improved.
A private, invite-only platform where builders, startups, and investors find each other based on what you've actually built, not what's on your resume.
Builders get discovered. Startups find people who can ship. Investors get curated deal flow from elite hackathons before it reaches the public.
No cold outreach. No recycled pipelines. Just a network built on execution.
The waitlist is open. Spots are limited and prioritized by referral.

Akhi Chappidi: CS and bioinformatics student at UNC Charlotte, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of RacquetHub, a sports-tech platform reimagining how racquet sport communities train and compete. Also co-building SchemaBio, a 3-layer AI engine for biotech research covering data ingestion, experiment design, and drug-to-market execution. Built CoachClaw at the OpenClaw Hackathon, a voice-first AI coach that turns wearable data into your next workout, meal, and recovery plan, taking 2nd overall and 1st for best use of Betterness and ElevenLabs. He’s the professional hype man for the Carolina Panthers and biotech.

Charlie Aram and Sarah Golden: Charlie is an Imperial College London grad, wearable brain-computer interface researcher at Berkeley, and co-founder of Unibubble, an AI student recruitment platform backed by UCL's EdTech Labs.
Sarah is a builder who aims to decrease cognitive load. Previously at Axon, where she built pipelines to turn 20,000+ fragmented public sector records into actionable GTM insights.
Together, they built Nuri at the OpenClaw Longevity Hackathon, a zero-friction food recommendation app that connects your wearables, lab results, and dietary constraints to give you one-click dining decisions at nearby restaurants, and won the grand prize. Allergies and all.
