Overview
Everyone loves a good “we made it” story: the viral tweet, the big funding round, the photo with a famous VC. But in between the missed grants, unwon hackathons, and unshipped MVPs, there’s a quieter truth most of us don’t talk about enough: building is exhausting.
Things slow down. The excitement fades. And when you zoom out over a year, even the most passionate founders start to feel the cracks. The late-night debugging, the constant pitching, the endless “WAGMI” optimism; it all comes at a cost. The cost is builder fatigue.
I want you to forget all that. Casue It’s party season!

I’m talking cocktails, dancing, good food, games, you name it. All the things that remind you life’s bigger than your next sprint.A space to trade battle scars, tell stories, and laugh until the stress of the year feels lighter. Maybe in that moment, you’ll remember you’re not alone. Behind every wallet address, every Discord handle, is a real person who also built, also burned out, and still chose to keep going. And hopefully no panels.
