I'm Patrick, one of the 8 mentors & founders of Mozilla's new startup incubator: Mozilla Builders (https://builders.mozilla.community). We started this new incubator out of Mozilla in order to work with & invest in developers, startups, and technology enthusiasts who are building things that will shape the internet and have a positive impact without needing to hyper focus on the bottom line. We call this our”fix-the-internet” incubator. This summer we’ll be investing $75k and $16k in teams for a summer cohort to help “fix-the-internet”.

Collectively we've built and sold companies, raised $$, and shipped many apps used by millions around the world. At our core we're hackers, doers, and makers. We've also seen the side of business where employees are burned out solely for the pursuit of profit, where user data is a commodity and not your privacy, where "growth at all costs" costs companies everything. We believe there's a better way!

We’ll be here to answer any questions people have on startups, give product feedback, advise people on how to get your first users, how to raise money, how to build for community inclusion, and in general just chat.

How would you “fix-the-internet”?
