Divergent Futures

Divergent Futures

One person, three obsessions, and the tools the work needed.

I'm TJ. I build things I think move humanity forward, and I open-source all of them. The research happens in public; the streams start when there's something worth watching.

Open LaunchPath How it works Source

34% of first-time creators got funded last year — not the 58% the platform average reports, because first-timers launch two-thirds of everything and fund at half the rate. LaunchPath tells you where you actually sit before you spend a year finding out. Free, no sign-up, nothing to install, and it collects nothing: the whole thing runs in your browser.

Also built in the open

Built in public by one person — the about page has the who and the why, and now has what I'm actually touching this month. No trackers, no cookie banner, nothing to consent to.
