Bonsai

Lower your screen time with the help of a friend

What it does

Screen time addiction is a crippling problem that has taken control of younger generations over the last decade. We have a solution. Bonsai features a social accountability system where users can seek help from a friend in sticking to their screen time goals. Here’s how it works: 1. Download the app and invite an Accountability Partner. 2. Set daily limits for apps you want monitored. 3. Once you reach your limit, to receive more time you must request it from your accountability partner

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week.
