Humanity Innovation Labs

I’m incredibly proud of our first cohort of the XI Discovery Accelerator — Idea to MVP.

A sincere thank you to Exponential Impact for the opportunity to design and build this program from the ground up—and for the continued support from Max Cupp, Coral Laski, Jon-Michael Horst, and Rachel Maxwell. This vision came to life through collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to helping founders build what’s next.

In just four weeks, these founders moved from early concept through problem definition → user validation → MVP development → testing & pitch—emerging with real, working vibe-coded applications, clear product stories, brand direction, company foundations, and live websites. All powered by an AI-first approach to product development.

Huge congratulations to each founder for the focus, speed, and intentionality you brought to this process. Building at this level in four weeks is no small feat.

A special thank you to our industry experts—Dr. Shawn Murray, Jenna Price, David Silva, Evyn White, Trevor Hile, and Mago Lauritzen—for engaging deeply, listening closely, and providing critical feedback at such a pivotal stage in these journeys.

This is why the program exists—to turn ideas into real, testable products with clarity, intention, and momentum.

On to the next cohort.

This discovery accelerator that we are leading with Exponential Impact encapsulates the essence of how ideas need to be developed in order to evolve over time to mature a product solution. It takes effort, experimentation, and desire. If you have been sitting on an idea bank in your mind - come join our next accelerator in June… let us help you create your first product.

AI Crafts recap -

We participated in an incredible evening with our software partner Bobcats Coding (Budapest) for their 10th Craft event here in Colorado!

Highlights:
• Panel with Bobcats Coding: Real-world insights on AI-native product development and team design — featuring their AI Team Augmentation Guide.
• Speed Networking with Humanity Innovation Labs: Our high-energy speed networking AI Exchange designed for founders, CTOs, and product leaders to share:

• What they’re building with AI
• Where they’re stuck
• What would accelerate progress

Connections, conversations, and AI ideas sparked all night — exactly what AI ex*****on looks like when hype is left at the door.

Thank you to Fazekas and Dora Papp-Gyuris for inviting us to be a part of this event with you - you all are amazing dev partners... And for everyone who joined us in Boulder! Let’s keep innovating what’s next.
