UGC is a race to the bottom but here’s what it takes to win in 2026
top 1% creators go to teams that optimize for creator quality of life and a sense of community
we built all of that into a bespoke app that handles bounties, video feedback, community, and gamifies the whole experience

met so many kind and incredible people on this walk that reminded me you can create technology that isn't just exploiting AI in pursuit of s h a r e h o l d e r v a l u e but instead as a medium for pure creative expression
ty for the invite @Libbiefrost !!
Instances you walk on the high line:
1. you just moved to new york

3. you see strangers on twitter post about organizing a creative walk 💙💙💙💙💙
This was so genuinely refreshing!! @pauline_makes we will def do this again
photo dumps just like everything else follow the universal principle of life: there will always be an asian mfer doing ts better than you

Conner Chyung (@connerchyung), a LavaLab alum, walked away from @dittolists, the social app he’d built and grown, to start over from scratch. That bet became Beam and a $5.2M raise.
We got him on a call, and he gave us the most honest take on what building in consumer feels like right now.
Here's what stuck with us. 👇
