Amazing people, energy, and demos @southpkcommons demo day here in cooper square 🔥🙌
Genesis of the -1 to 0 squiggle. When I joined @southpkcommons a few years ago, my #1 job was to develop language to describe the strange stage SPC occupied. -1 to 0 was the core idea, but to organize my own thinking I also created something I called the Chaos Apple.
Want to see the latest and greatest LIVE demos from SPC members? Join us for our first ever Demo Faire in New York City this Wednesday! lu.ma/spc-spring-dem…
Proud @southpkcommons made the list! LongNYC felt.com/map/LUX-NYC-tk…

Some days you feel like you get a glimpse of the future. Today at SPC was one of those days. It was weird, wacky and absolutely glorious. The Internet of the the 2020s is going to have a lot of the 1990s in it. Strap on for the ride.
-1 to 0 talk live at the @southpkcommons NYC office with @Bonobos founder @dunn doing a one to one interview with @AgrawalArian
Demo Faire is one of my favorite things at SPC. It's an opportunity to celebrate our builder culture and to get the broader ecosystem together. SPC members share their glimpses into the future through a live demo (not a slide deck). Come join if us on May 1st if you're in NYC

Excited to be here the day this went up at @southpkcommons
This handwritten “sign” at the new (and significantly upgraded) @southpkcommons office was meant to be temporary but there seems to be an emerging consensus that it perfectly fits the WIP vibe of the community. I kind of love it.
I’m thrilled to share that I am joining the incredible team at @southpkcommons as a Principal in NY to continue to support incredible the growth of the NY startup ecosystem. I am a firm believer in backing the person/founder first & am passionate about the power of community.…
Fantastic turnout of senior women in engineering building at the cutting edge of AI, climate, and more for a full day of events here at SPC-SF, in collaboration with @TheNewClub_fyi.
We interviewed the legendary @adityaag, former CTO of Dropbox and early Facebook engineer. Except the interviewer isn't human. The future is here. And it’s with @newinterviewer [email protected] if you want to use this to interview candidates
Big news - we’ve raised $3M from an incredible team of investors including @GradientVC, @southpkcommons, and @BessemerVP Read more in our @axios exclusive below 👇

"We're tempting the demo gods, once again" - @AgrawalArian at the @southpkcommons demo faire in NYC. Can't wait to see the live demos 🔥
Amazing people, energy, and demos @southpkcommons demo day here in cooper square 🔥🙌
Fun fact: we first shared the squiggle during a @southpkcommons Founder Fellowship application and it doubled the number of applications. You know very quickly when an idea resonates.
Genesis of the -1 to 0 squiggle. When I joined @southpkcommons a few years ago, my #1 job was to develop language to describe the strange stage SPC occupied. -1 to 0 was the core idea, but to organize my own thinking I also created something I called the Chaos Apple.
So that's the story of the -1 to 0 squiggle. If you're struggling to communicate a complex or nuanced idea, I highly recommend trying to create a simple visual representation. It can create clarity where words fail.
That visual also helped communicate not just WHY someone would join SPC, but WHEN, which was another key messaging problem we faced. This was particularly useful when talking about the Founder Fellowship.
So I started scribbling again. I turned the Chaos Apple on its side and extended it out to give the journey context. And suddenly I had a visualization of -1 to 0 that felt correct.
People join @southpkcommons to figure out what's next. But -1 to 0 didn't finally come together until I remembered WHY talented technologists would want to do that in a community: Because of how it feels and how much more frustrating that feeling is on your own.
We developed a lot of language around -1 to 0 internally at @southpkcommons and plenty of it filtered out to our public audience. Worldbuilding, ideation, conviction, North Star, etc. But this language was very heady. It described a process instead of a journey.
-1 to 0 is a discrete part of the creative process that by its very nature tends to defy easy description. What do you tell your parents you're up to? What do you put in your LinkedIn? It's the "Working on something new" stage.
-1 to 0 feels chaotic, confusing, nebulous Like two steps forward, one back, three sideways, turn around, step back again— It's squiggly. Full of potential if only you can manage to get through it. It's an emotional journey as much as an intellectual one.
-1 to 0 makes sense if you know 0 to 1. Founders grok it quickly. And once you explain it, anyone familiar with the frustrating early process of a creative, generative endeavor will recognize it. But on its own it sounds linear. You go -1 to 0 to 1. That's not how it feels.

Wednesday, May 1: SPC Demo Faire - Spring 2024 hosted by @southpkcommons lu.ma/spc-spring-dem…
Here’s a quick look at the lunch demo he gave last week to a completely packed and riveted @southpkcommons NYC office
Only @southpkcommons - the founder of @websim_ai came back to visit from SF and sat down next to me 2 weeks ago in our office. He showed me the demo and we dove into a discussion that all code should be generated.
i think @websim_ai is one of the first truly ai native products, and will be as impactful as chatgpt. instead of a chatbox, websim allows you to explore the latent space of an LLM via URLs and hyperlinks. e.g. here's @zoink generating an essay about websim by typing a URL: 🧵
