What is happening here 👀
Believe is making a major investment in bringing top talent into the ecosystem. More details dropping later this week.
I've been doing a bad job recently with regard to transparency, public trust, and community alignment. That’s on me. It’s been greatly requested that we provide more transparency related to our pending flywheel (FW). When Believe’s volume surged in May, I didn’t even know what a…
I've loaded a wallet with some SOL to support projects in the Believe ecosystem! Here is the wallet address for full transparency: DjAfkjAV7qD6U2qjjU5RdcuzXwdk1gF3CtiWwGZc8pxJ What coin should I buy first?
I’m hearing your feedback and I want to focus more on supporting our community. I’m going to be picking a few projects to start with and will be using my own personal funds to support them. One of my main focus from now on will be to spotlight our best creators and help them…

Believe is playing the long game: building with intention, attracting real builders, and standing as a pillar of integrity in a space where that’s still rare.
We’ve partnered with Whop — unlocking the potential for 11 million users to come on-chain.
Believe x Whop is now live. Whop creators can now launch a coin for their community directly from their Whop page. Communities are the heartbeat of any project, and Whop has become the go-to platform for building and centralizing them. Whop will soon roll out integrations that…
Soon, every startup will launch a coin.

Congratulations to @a1lon9 and the Pump team on their upcoming coin launch. Pump paved the way for this entire space and I wish them continuous success!
It’s now completely possible to build a unicorn without raising venture capital. The growing standard will be to raise a small amount, equivalent to a pre-seed round at most, and to operate profitably from day one.
Believe's mission is to make it easy to support anyone. To do that, we’re assembling an absolutely insane team. We’re optimizing for talent density over headcount, which means we’ll stay under 10 people for as long as possible. That constraint forces us to hire only the…
I’ve spent a lot of time the past few days talking with founders who’ve launched on Believe. I usually go into these calls feeling a bit anxious — we still have so much to improve. But I always walk away inspired and incredibly grateful for the patience and belief these builders…
Introducing the Believe Builders Fund. We’re committing $1,000,000 over the coming months to support high potential builders and builder communities through fellowship grants, hackathons, and targeted incentives. If you’re an ambitious builder working on something interesting,…
VC is dying. If I were starting a company today, I wouldn’t raise any. Founders don’t need it anymore. With AI, it’s possible to go far with little outside capital. “$X raised” used to be the flex. Now it’s ARR and MRR. Two years ago, no one put these metrics in their bios —…
