Weekly Builder Club Wrapped 🌯 TLDR:

Welcome to the 1st edition of the Weekly Build Club Wrapped series, where we share everything that’s happened in our community over the last week. Join us in celebrating our top milestones, and stay up to date with our events and build bounty competitions.

A quick note from Annie: We have so much about to launch at Build Club and the pace we are moving at is🔥. As a note to start off our first weekly summary emails, a quick reminder on why we exist: Build Club was started at its core to help the most ambitious AI founders who are hardcore about building their dreams. We are the most exclusive community and the home for AI builders in Australia. To do this, we are laser focused on building the best place in the world to be if you are building in AI. Everything we do contributes to this. We believe in winning together. We hope you realize this too ❤️ .
