what it is:
we're looking to give $10,000 to people building cool shit in ai.
not an investment. no equity. no strings attached. just straight cash.

who it's for:
you don't need to be doing cutting edge research or building a big startups.
maybe your idea will only ever get 100 users.
maybe you wanna get 1 million users,
maybe you just wanna build a funny ai app to mess with your friends.
we don't care.
we're just looking to give the money to people who wanna explore their ai curiosities in a really focused way, ideally in the form of a single project.

how to qualify:
1. apply to be part of nights and weekends s5. season begins june 15.
2. build and make progress over six weeks. each week, we'll guide you with lectures on marketing, writing, and more.
3. after 6-weeks, once it's all said and done. we'll pick our favorite ones.

to be clear: you don't need a lot of traction or revenue to win.
you just gotta show that you're putting in the work.

so, it's straightforward af.
if you're already working on ai stuff, you might as well give this a shot :)

"how will you pick who to give the grant to?"
we're looking for people who can survive the 6-weeks and make progress every week for 6-weeks straight. why? because, we wanna make sure whoever we give the money to will keep working on their ideas. at the end of the 6-weeks, we'll see who's left and pick the ppl with interesting demos/progress.

"idk if i'm good enough…"
yo. you never know. worst case? you don't get picked — but you spent 6-weeks working on your cool ai idea, made a lot of progress, and figured out a way to make some money off of it.

"do i have to go through s5?"
yes.
