@hath @shankypanky @Austin any updates?

@EvanDaniel haven't heard any other updates personally - I put a callout below and didn't get much back so I suspect we can resolve this soon accordingly but I'll give @hath and @Austin a chance to chime in first

@shankypanky thanks! I think no by default is the right answer, and I like giving folks a chance to speak up.

@EvanDaniel definitely agree, and it's definitely time to resolve! let's give them 24hr and then resolve No for all that we don't have any updates on!

if anyone has proof of other funding received as a result of pitches at Manifest please reply to this comment so I or Hath can resolve accordingly.

@shankypanky Mycroft Technologies just closed a funding round involving BoxOne ventures, whose co-founder we met as a result of my pitch at this competition. I have no idea what's sufficient to prove that. I guess ping them for verification?

@inaimathi @Stephanie I spoke to someone at BoxOne Ventures who confirmed this with me.

@MichaelWheatley @shankypanky Sweet! Thanks :)

seems the creator has been inactive for a few weeks and I've been sent proof that Disco received funding so resolving Disco yes

From the Manifest Discord, someone who is affiliated with Disco:

Disco has received >$200k in funding thanks to Manifest so far

Congrats to the Disco folks! Seems like they're still in stealth mode for now, but looking forward to what they do next~

people are saying disco did @hath

cc @SHs4ca who alerted me

im donating 2800 to lightcone as result of pitch, does that count

It would clearly count. $2800 is definitely way above any minimum that is assumed for the market, IMO.

If a project doesn't need traditional capital, but only attention AND it gets that attention because of the events that took place at Manifest, does that count?

@Krantz Did this.. happen at manifest? There was this guy? Do you know if he got funding? lol

He was there. Didn't talk much. Not a great personal investment.

It's an investment into an AI nobody actually owns.

About as dumb as giving Satoshi funding to write the Bitcoin whitepaper without any guarantee they'll earn any coins in the future.

He did not secure any investors..

Made some friends tho.

do u mean Urbit guy

i pretty much tune out when i hear urbit, there's the fascist aspect and the obscuratism and the four-digit active user count. For success u need pretty much both political revolution of specific type, and urbit success....

No. Not urbit.

This guy was trying to scale Doug Lenat's project by using decentralized constitutional RLHF.

that sounds like a pretty fun pitch i must have missed it

Aynone have a link to disco?

I'm assuming that friends giving a couple dollars for the sake of getting this to resolve yes doesnt count

@SirSalty correct must be some investor they meet there

presumably also a reasonable minimum funding amount

Yeah if could clarify on what funding entails that'd be helpful
