What 2,000 Builders Applied to Build
TinyFish did something no accelerator has done before — they made every application a live demo. Not a pitch deck but a working agent.
Three weeks in, Phase 2 teams are already shipping. We're talking agents that file government paperwork with payment, quote insurance across hundreds of carriers at once, and run security tests that surface 45 vulnerabilities in minutes. All running on live websites right now.
Phase 2 teams get free API access from 15+ partners including ElevenLabs, Google, MongoDB, Fireworks AI, and v0 by Vercel, plus weekly mentorship from AI founders and direct engineering support. Backed by a $2M seed pool from Mango Capital.
Applications are still open if you're building in the agentic web space. It’s 100% virtual. Follow @Tiny_Fish on X for all accelerator updates.
We Broke Modulate's API (Sorry)
Last week we shared that Modulate opened up 2,000 free audio hours for newsletter readers. Demand was higher than they expected and a lot of you couldn't claim the credits before they ran out.
Good news: they've re-opened the 2,000 free hours for their API, which covers transcription, emotion detection, and more. If you missed it last time, now's your shot.
