Soaring to the top of the world.
A shared moment with John T, Co‑Founder of Soar — and a shared belief in how the future should be built.
Above the clouds — literally and figuratively
Some conversations are perfectly captured by where they happen.
Standing at the top of the world in Dubai, the discussion wasn’t about short‑term metrics or noise — it was about alignment, belief, and building systems that actually endure.
This is what founders talk about when there’s no script.
Why alignment matters
Traditional models often force misalignment:
Builders vs. capital
Long‑term vision vs. short‑term pressure
Execution vs. control
What stood out in this conversation was a shared conviction:
alignment isn’t a feature — it’s the foundation.
When builders and supporters win together, everything changes.
A new way to build
Platforms like SOAR represent more than infrastructure — they represent a shift in mindset.
A shift toward:
Permissionless participation
Long‑term thinking
Communities that grow alongside the companies they support
This isn’t about trends.
It’s about sustainability.
Builders recognize builders
There’s a certain clarity that emerges when founders speak openly — without pitch decks, without filters.
Just builders comparing notes on what works, what doesn’t, and what must change if we’re serious about building the future.
Those conversations matter.
Looking forward
The view from the top is always temporary.
What lasts is what gets built next — and how it’s built.
With aligned incentives, shared belief, and the courage to try new models, the ceiling moves higher for everyone.
This is how the future gets funded.
This is how the future gets built.
