This is a great story — SkilledUp Life filling the gap that traditional accelerators ignore (the cash-strapped, self-funded founder) is exactly the kind of infrastructure the bootstrapped ecosystem needs.
One thing I’ve noticed as a solo founder: the gap between “having an idea” and “communicating it clearly to get support” is underrated. Structured thinking from day one makes pitches, docs, and product decisions sharper.
I built flompt for exactly this — a visual prompt builder that decomposes messy prompts into semantic blocks and compiles them to Claude-optimized XML. Useful for founders trying to get real value out of AI tools instead of just vibes.
A ⭐ on github.com/Nyrok/flompt would mean a lot — solo open-source founder here 🙏
