Hello Fellow Pioneers!

Apologizes on the late send, we had a busy week last week.

The KYCombinator site is updated. Check it here. Thank you Claude and Cursor.

Punch & Plunge @ Rumble Boxing

📅 Thursday, March 20th @ 5:30 PM ⏰
📍 12623 Shelbyville Rd, Louisville, KY 40243, USA
Link here

🚀 We're on a mission to bring cool people together. The builders. The disrupters. The people who simply want a community of growth.
😴 We're tired of stuffy networking events over coffee and drinks. So we're going to change that.
🔥 Let’s have some fun and meet some new folks over boxing 🥊 and cold plunge 🧊!

💥 See y’all there!

Velocity Pitch

📅 Tuesday, April 29th @ 5:02 PM ⏰

🐎 Why bet on horses when you can bet on unicorns?

This ain't no ordinary pitch competition—this is a velocity competition. ⚡️

The Velocity Pitch Competition is a 12-week sprint where every team must prove themselves by getting to customers and revenue. On April 29th, contestants will pitch both their ideas and their 12-week roadmap. But here’s the twist—we’re backing the founders with the boldest execution plans, not just the best ideas.

🔥 We’re selecting 5 teams/founders to back—prioritizing ambition over polish.

💰 Back a Stallion: Place $500-$1000 bets on Kentucky’s most ambitious founders and be part of their journey from day one.
