The Founder Fellowship is not an accelerator. That's why it's the best way to start your company. Accelerators optimize for local maxima. South Park Commons helps you through the ambiguity of the earliest stages so you can find global maxima.

I had the pleasure of hosting one of the original legends of Silicon Valley– Vinod Khosla –at South Park Commons this past quarter. We talked about why the team you build becomes the company you build, his first investment in OpenAI, and why he believes AGI is already here. This was an awesome conversation.
