Max and I have been accepted! We submitted our idea to The Mill two weeks ago, and the decision came through today.
The Origin Story
Everything began as a Facebook experiment designed to boost audience engagement. I published a straightforward status inviting responses and received overwhelming participation and meaningful discussions with connections.
The approach proved successful when repeated days later with identical results. Over the following week, I noticed several friends mimicking this technique on their own profiles—a promising sign of validation.
From Experiment to Application
Encouraged by my future co-founder, we transformed this simple concept into an application and submitted it to our regional startup accelerator, The Mill.
Program Details
The Mill’s support package includes:
- Initial $5,000 investment
- Two months of office space at Work In Progress, a downtown co-working facility
- Mentorship relationships
- Networking opportunities
Looking Forward
The journey begins now. I’m anticipating watching friends and colleagues embrace this interactive approach in the months ahead.
