This is your sign to ship that build!

OPPORTUNITY‼️: $100K for your startup. No equity, no SAFE, no board seat.
@dottechdomains just launched a $1M No Excuses Fund for builders from day zero to pre-Series A.
What you get:
- grants of $10K, $50K or $100K

Day 2 of building Inubi.
Yesterday night, I started building the Inubi waitlist.
I thought it would be a simple task. I was wrong. 😂
Hours went into fixing DNS, connecting the domain, dealing with security warnings, Vercel deployment issues and Supabase API keys.
Bolt’s free credits ran out along the way.
I went from ChatGPT to Gemini, then TikTok and YouTube tutorials, trying to understand what was going wrong and how to fix each problem.
And here’s another part of the story.
I don’t have a laptop. I’ve been doing all of this on my phone.
I continued this morning and spent over four more hours troubleshooting.
There were moments when the website loaded but the waitlist form refused to work. Fixing one issue brought another.
But eventually, we got it working.
Today, Inubi has:
A live website.
Its own domain, inubi.tech.
A working waitlist form.
A successful Supabase connection.
I’m learning a lot through this process. Sometimes building means knowing what to do. Other times, it means knowing where to look when nothing works.
Day 2. Built on a phone. Powered by persistence.
We move. 🚀

Congrats @html5cat on the grant for puma.tech. We're building AI⁴ on singulant.tech: a permission layer that checks whether an AI agent is authorized before it acts, with signed receipts. Shipping toward Dec 15. Thanks @dottechdomains for backing builders.

Builders now have up to $1M in equity-free funding available, and almost nobody is talking about it.
It's called the No Excuses Fund, from .tech domains.
No equity. No repayment. No board seat.
Here's how it works:
1. Register a .tech domain (it's free when you register)
2. Get your build live on it by December 15
3. Apply at no noexcuse.tech/alvaro before applications close on December 15
4. Independent reviewers screen every submission first
5. A jury picks the grants
Each grant is up to $100K, plus mentorship and platform credits support.
What I'd put it toward as a solo builder:
- Infra and hosting so you stop worrying about the bill
- API and model credits for your agents
- A designer or contractor for the parts you don’t like
- Or just runway to focus on the product
Idea-stage doesn't count. Your build has to be live.
Apply now (T&Cs apply): noexcuse.tech/alvaro
🤝 Paid partnership
Congratulations, Yuriy (@html5cat)! 🎉
Puma.tech is exactly the kind of build the No Excuses Fund exists for.
Thank you @UseCorgi & @jean_ette_li for co-hosting a room full of builders, and thank you everyone who showed up to celebrate!
That’s a wrap on the @UseCorgi x @dottechdomains Halloween party.
Congrats to Yuriy (John Wick) from Puma.tech on the $10K equity-free grant!
Thank you to everyone who applied and came to our Halloween party! Hope you enjoyed the poke, drinks, dj, and Photo Booth on @dottechdomains.
You can still get another chance at their $1 Million grant by applying again on their website→noexcuses.get.tech
