Why

14–18

I believe in “intercepting people early”: that is, the impact you can have on their lives is exponentially greater if you advise them at 15 rather than 23.

In person

Programs that bring them in-person materially change their trajectories (like the now-defunct Atlas Fellowship).

Slope over y-intercept

People’s slope matters more than their y-intercept (that is, the rate at which someone is achieving things is far more important than their accomplishments), and I want to find those outliers early.

How it works

Feb 2027

Online cohort

I’m thinking of making an online cohort first, and we’re partnering with risingfounder.net to find driven members.

Weekly

Show progress

Members will meet weekly to show progress on what they’re building, and we’ll aim to provide them with compute credits and mentors.

Summer 2027

In person

It’s still very early stage, and I’m planning for an online cohort in late Jan/Feb ending with a free for participants two-week in-person session in the US in Summer 2027 for the 10-15 best members.

Safety

All supervisors will be over 18. Every participant <18 will have written parental consent, and the in-person sessions will be supervised at all times.

Who’s building it

I’m 15. My YouTube video on how unconventional young people achieve great things now has over a million views. I worked on CourseTexts, bringing university courses to autodidacts, and I moderate the Lost Ones, a Discord community for young people who don’t fit in (hence the name).

This fall, after sending my first-ever cold email, I spent a week as a guest at FR8, a Helsinki residency in which 16-28 year olds build companies.

Co-founder

Mainly, I’m looking for a co-founder to help build this with. Someone who has experience organizing things, and you’d help with the in-person side of things. Most of all, I want someone who’s driven, agentic, and believes in this thesis.

If that sounds like you, email me at antolovicnikita7@gmail.com or DM me on @fluxxrider on Discord.
