Helping Others Is How We Grow

We often treat generosity like a luxury—something we do when there’s time. But in a world moving this fast, support isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a strategy.
Here’s a principle I keep returning to: the fastest way to grow is to help someone else grow. When we support others, we sharpen our own ideas, expand our networks, and earn the kind of trust you can’t buy. Getting smarter is a side effect of being useful.
Innovation starts with service. The projects that endure are built by people who show up for their communities—answering questions, sharing playbooks, opening doors. You compound your learning by compounding your impact.
Building Tomorrow, Today—Together
I’ve been exploring a fuller ShareAI for Startups program. But rather than spend months building logistics, I want to test the waters now—by opening a personal pilot that starts simple and creates value immediately.
Denis for Startups — Pilot Program
No bureaucracy. No perfect deck. Just early, hands-on help for builders already moving.
What I’ll offer
- Free AI credits to accelerate experiments.
- Direct support from me on product, distribution, and strategy.
- Fast feedback loops on positioning, UX, and go-to-market.
- Introductions where they truly help.
- Signals over ceremony: if momentum builds, we’ll formalize ShareAI for Startups with the right structure.
Who this is for
- Solo founders or small teams at the “rough but real” stage.
- People obsessed with users over hype.
- Builders using AI to solve a human problem—and willing to share what they learn.
If this resonates, tell me about your project. Keep it tight: the problem, who it serves, what you’ve tried, what you’ve learned, and the one thing that would move you 10× faster this month.

Why this, why now
- Speed beats certainty. We don’t need a perfect program to start creating value. We need motion.
- Generosity creates leverage. The more you help, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you can help.
- Community multiplies progress. When builders support each other, the cost of experimentation drops—and breakthroughs get cheaper.
This is how we build tomorrow, today: back people who are already moving, and give them the push that turns momentum into compounding results.
If you’re building something ambitious—and you’re ready to share your lessons as you go—I want to hear from you.
