We extend our heartfelt appreciation to PlebLab for supporting Thriller this month. As a frontrunner in nurturing early-stage Bitcoin startups, PlebLab is at the forefront of fostering innovation in the heart of Austin, Texas. In the vibrant financial district, PlebLab redefines the workspace concept, evolving into a vibrant community accelerator where unconventional hackers, entrepreneurs, and developers unite, believing that builder support is crucial for Bitcoin's sustained success and expansion.

PlebLab
PlebLab’s mission is to foster an inclusive community of developers, hackers, creatives, and enthusiasts of open-source software/hardware. Creating a space where individuals can collaborate, elevate their skills, and transform seemingly impossible

PlebLab distinguishes itself with a comprehensive strategy to cultivate talent and innovation in the Bitcoin ecosystem:

  • Personalized Engagement: Deep, one-on-one interactions with everyone in PlebLab, offering guidance when applicable.
  • Collaborative Hackerspace: A vibrant setting that encourages Bitcoin builders to thrive alongside each other.
  • In-depth Advisory and Mentorship: Extensive advisory and mentorship, coupled with networking opportunities within the PlebLab community, to bolster growth.
  • Business and Marketing Support: Tailored assistance in business development and marketing strategies to ensure your Bitcoin journey is well-positioned for success.

PlebLab is a pillar of continuous learning and community involvement, with regular technical and business workshops every Saturday to enhance your skills. PlebLab was born out of the local grassroots Bitcoin scene in 2021. It continues contributing to the local developer scene, positioning itself as an anchor for Bitcoin builders in Austin.

We are excited to highlight PlebLab's role in turning Bitcoin aspirations into realities, especially through the anticipated PlebLab Startup Day during SXSW in collaboration with the Bitcoin Commons.
