​Office Hours with James of Ârc : Build your Bitcoin / Nostr startup

​About James & Ârc Sri Lanka: James of Ârc — a former VC and entrepreneur — is building a permanent home on the frontier at Mirissa Beach, Sri Lanka. Operating out of the Asaya beachfront campus in partnership with Fulgur Ventures, Ârc Sri Lanka is a hacker house and continuous Bitcoin accelerator designed for ambitious founders building Bitcoin, Nostr, and open-source AI products.

​Unlike rigid 6–12 week cohorts, Ârc offers ongoing accountability, peer support, and direct access to investment partners for builders building from this part of the world! (Yes, we mean builders from India, Sri Lanka and the wider Indian subcontinent and SEA).

​What we’ll cover:

  • ​The Continuous Accelerator: How Ârc and Fulgur Ventures back founders long-term at Mirissa Beach—and how you can apply at arc.lk/fulgur.

  • ​Winning in Asian Markets: Why practical, commercial propositions beat over-engineered tech, and why there is massive room for local operators across Asia.

  • ​Open Q&A & 1-on-1s: Ask James anything about the accelerator, relocating to build in Sri Lanka, or get direct feedback on your startup idea in private 1-on-1 voice rooms.

​Event Format (Discord):

  • ​First 30–45 mins: Intro to Ârc Sri Lanka, insights on building Bitcoin startups, and open public Q&A in the lounge.

  • ​Next 30–45 mins: Dedicated 1-on-1 voice channel sessions with James for builders/founders looking for direct feedback or accelerator info.

​Come if you're building. Come if you're ready to start.
