Thousands are leaving & never coming back.
It鈥檚 hard to understand what needs to change when there's no hard data on what's driving them away.
We want to change that.

The Chancellor, @JohnHealey_MP, has announced @UKSovereignAI鈥檚 拢100m rapid AI R&D procurement.
If you're a founder in Britain, come build -- we will be on your side, and we will move quickly.
We are starting by asking our founders to take on four national challenges: an NHS with more time for patient care; defence that keeps Britain safe; compute that means British AI strength; and ideas that keep our country cyber resilient.

.@farhaj on the three reasons why to build on Solana:
"Solana is the first successful implementation of forking San Francisco's culture and capital to the internet. If you don't live in America or the UK and you want to build a business on the internet, Solana's global community is the easiest way to meet interesting people with the same level of ambition."
"There's no favoritism in Solana. It's the clearest form of a meritocracy that could exist. You can find capital, you can find talent, and you can find community to break out of your local maxima and enter the global maxima."
"An ecosystem's grit is tested by how people show up during the lows. There's no pillagers with pitchforks vibes. It's villagers who care for you vibes. As a founder, it has created a safe place to fail."
