So,
as
many
of
you
know
your
journey
as
a
developer
as
a
Founder
as
a
early
Builder,
an
entrepreneur
is
not
linear.
There
are
many
paths
to
joining
and
bringing
your
hopes
and
dreams
to
reality.
Some
start
through
at
developer
education.
Some
join
a
hackathon
to
learn
about
some
piece
of
technology
like
fvm,
some
take
grants
and
some
take
really
deep
advice
on
concentrated
accelerator
programs,
and
some
are
just
repeat:
entrepreneurs
that
have
been
web3
for
a
while
and
jump
straight
to
a
seed
round
or
even
a
series
a
round.
A
But
they
can
progress
through
this
journey
and
and
so
far
over
the
over
the
last
couple
years,
we
have
supported
over
500
teams
in
this
kind
of
like
Builders,
funnel
environment
and
have
it
pointed
our
resources
at
them.
In
total,
those
500
plus
teams
have
raised
close
to
500
million
dollars
in
funding
signaling
tremendous
interest
in
our
general
ecosystems
across
filecoin,
ipfs
and
the
pln
at
large,
and
if
you're
kind
of
like
interested
in
building
that
this,
the
kind
of
opportunities
that
we're
trying
to
put
towards
to
help
you.
A
Furthermore,
if
you
look
at
the
kind
of
bottom,
two
rows,
which
are
more
Grand
funding
at
the
early
stages,
more
than
17
million
dollars
have
been
issued
in
grant
funding
by
the
filecoin
foundation
and
protocol
Labs
towards
those
teams
getting
started
in
our
ecosystems
now
at
the
early
stage
of
the
funnel.
So
you
know
if
you're
just
getting
started
as
a
builder,
there's
a
number
of
different
paths
to
get
it
to
get
your
feet
wet
over
the
last
couple
years.
A
Now,
what's
really
interesting.
Is
that
we're
starting
to
point
those
services
at
builders
on
fvm,
so
already
space
warp
has
issued.
Fem
microgrants
has
ran
the
biggest
hackathon
ever
in
the
history
of
of
the
filecoin
ecosystem
and
are
starting
to
get
into
other
kind
of
like
services
like
impact
evaluators,
accelerators
Etc.
A
In
fact,
one
thing
to
celebrate
is
is
eth
Global's
last
hackathon
space
warp
that
had
over
a
thousand
hackers
participate
280
project
submissions
in
over
82
countries
and
I
I
just
want
to
give
a
big
round
of
applause
to
all
those
teams
that
presented
today
stemming
from
this
hackathon.
It's
just
remarkable
to
see.
A
This
has
been
an
incredible
kind
of
ecosystem
for
many.
Many
teams
and
they've
really
accelerated
their
funding
and
I'm
super
excited
to
announce
that
there
are
two
fbm
focused
accelerator
cohorts
launching
in
the
next
few
months,
one
led
by
Lawton
cash
with
shakai
over
here
and
two
led
by
graph
paper,
Capital
led
by
Gabriel
who's
somewhere
here
as
well,
so
give
them
a
big
round
of
applause.
A
Finally,
when
you've
progressed
past
the
stage
where
you're
in
kind
of
growth
stage
modes
you've
reached
product
Market
fit,
and
you
need
growth
Capital
to
expand
your
team
expand
your
services.
The
pl
network
has
over
4
000
investors
that
we
can
start
to
connect
you
with
to
to
reach
that
next
phase
of
adoption,
and
what
we've
done
here
is
really
tried
to
focus
a
series
of
events
to
concentrate
that
capital
on
teams
building
roughly
in
the
file
coin
ecosystem
and
the
ipfs
ecosystem
as
well.
A
The
first
one
of
that
we
ran
in
September
in
Singapore,
it
was
called
phil.bc
and
it
was
so
successful
that
it
attracted
300
leading
investors
representing
trillions
of
capital
and
26
startups,
pitched
with
many
of
them,
leaving
the
room
with
term
sheets,
an
Engaged
investor
conversations
to
fund
their
startups.
So
this
was
kind
of
our
first
try
at
this.
It
was
in
in-person
events
that
was
incredibly
successful
and
led
to
like
a
tremendous
amount
of
capital
being
concentrated
at
those
26
teams.
A
I'm
super
happy
to
announce
that
on
March
21st
we're
going
to
be
doing
our
next
version
of
phil.bc
in
a
completely
remote
environment.
So
we
can
attract
investors
all
over
the
world
and
not
just
Asia,
so
huge
round
of
applause
for
the
phil.bc
team.
That's
going
to
kick
off
on
March
21st
and,
if
you're
a
startup,
a
builder
that
you
feel
like
you're
ready
for
for
that
stage
of
capital
attraction.
A
A
So
in
conclusion,
for
fbm
Builders,
there
is
literally
no
better
time
to
join
the
filecoin
ecosystem.
You
have
familiar
technology
with
evm-based
smart
contracts
that
you
can
build
on.
You
have
many
developer:
on-ramps
hackathons
grants
programs
of
various
different
sizes
and
requests
for
startups
in
case
you're
searching
for
an
idea.
A
There
are
deep
support
for
Founders
through
our
accelerator
cohorts
and
phases,
and
services,
there's
incredible
VC
interest,
and
increasingly
so
in
startups,
building
on
fvm
and
of
course
you
have
a
thriving
Community
to
support
you
at
every
stage
of
the
game,
so
huge
round
of
applause
for
fbm,
Builders
I'm
super
excited
to
call
up
a
panel
of
Builders
and
and
folks
that'll
talk
about
some
of
those
Services.
Thank
you
very
much,
foreign.
