Overview of PLN + Builders Funnel
summary
Overview of a Builders Funnel that moves projects from hackathon idea to funded company via education, microgrants ($3k–$5k) for open‑source fixes, accelerators, and PL investment (pre‑seed through Series A). Offers operational help via Mosaic services (legal, recruiting, marketing), curated founder and investor networks, and an invite‑only Phil VC showcase that selects ~20–25 teams and reaches “more than $3 trillion” AUM in past events to accelerate fundraising.
