Team
Product

Already building on Minds? In your answers below, link to any Skills, Minds, or Tools you've listed on the Bazaar — showing you've already started is the strongest signal we see.

If you haven't built on Minds yet, that's fine. Tell us what draws you to it and what you'd want to validate during the build period.

Execution
One more thing
Founder video (optional)

2–3 minutes. Tell us what you're building and why you're the right person to build it. Loom or a phone recording is fine — no production quality required. Skipping this will not hurt your application.
