Who is behind this
Consumers should hold the leverage, not just the receipt.
Our thesis is simple: countless people want the same thing, shop for the same criteria, and would happily pool their intent. They just never see each other. The moment they do, that invisible demand becomes leverage: better prices, better terms, and a community that spends more intelligently together than apart.
The thesis
Purchasing intent is the most undervalued asset a consumer owns. Individually it's ignored; pooled together it becomes leverage over price, terms, and what actually gets made.
The experiment
We're a small team pressure-testing that idea over 36 hours at the SYE Hackathon in Stockholm, in public, alongside the hackathon's partners and sponsors.
The background
Between us we've founded and exited startups, and moved through selective builder and operator communities across North America, Europe and the Nordics, spanning embedded and software engineering, management, consulting and design. Before writing a line of code we studied Groupon, Massdrop, Kickstarter and Pinduoduo. Each proved part of the thesis and broke in an instructive way; this edition keeps the leverage with the buyers, not the platform.
Edition 1 closes when the timer hits zero. No late entries.
