🎃 No Excuses by .tech domains, Just Costumes: $10K Founder Party

​A Halloween party for founders, builders, and the people who ship. Hosted by .tech Domains × Corgi.

​No pitches. No panels. No awkward networking games. Just good drinks, music, costumes, great company, and $10K in equity-free funding going to one founder in the room.

​We're bringing the Bay Area founder community together for a Halloween night at Corgi to celebrate the launch of the No Excuses Fund, a $1M equity-free fund by .tech Domains backing ambitious founders and strong technical teams who are already building.

​And we're making the night even better.

​💸 One founder. One $10K check. Zero equity.

​Exclusively at this party, we'll be announcing a founder selected through the fund's application process and presenting them with a $10K equity-free grant, live.

​Want to be considered? Submit your build here before October 28th.
