Three opportunities for builders in May: YC, Cursor, Featherless

May has three time-sensitive things for builders in our community. YC's next application deadline is on May 4, and Rayn, a YC alum building Scriptbee, will review your application before you submit. The next Cursor Stuttgart meetup runs on Friday May 22 at the CREATORS Space and doubles as a CREATORS Friday. And Featherless wants to feature builders working with open-source AI on their blog.

Get your YC application reviewed by Rayn before May 4

YC's next application window closes on May 4, 2026. If you are putting in a draft, get a second pair of eyes on it before you hit submit. Rayn, a YC alum and the founder behind Scriptbee, has offered to review applications from our community.

Scriptbee builds AI co-workers for B2B revenue teams: AI search visibility, visitor identification, contact enrichment, and outbound automation. Rayn knows what YC partners look for in the first 1500 words because he wrote them himself, got in, and shipped the product into production. See what they are building at scriptbee.ai.

Need help with marketing, SEO, or AI search visibility for your own product? Rayn's team at Scriptbee works with B2B founders who want pipeline without hiring a full sales org. Same booking link works for both.

Build with us at the Cursor meetup on May 22

The next Cursor Stuttgart meetup runs on Friday May 22, 2026 at the CREATORS Space, and doubles as a CREATORS Friday. Same coworking format, same drinks, with a Cursor twist.

What the day looks like:

• 3 PM to 6 PM. Coworking. Pick a project, open Cursor, ship something.
• 6 PM to 7 PM. Short talks. Show what you built or how you use Cursor day-to-day.
• 7 PM to 9 PM. Dinner and networking.

Cursor credits, food, and drinks are on us. You bring your laptop and an idea.

Where: Epplestraße 225, Haus 3, 70567 Stuttgart (Etage 1). Come anytime before 6 PM.

Reserve your spot on Luma.

Want to give a five-minute talk on how you use Cursor? Email sachin@aicollective.com with your topic.

Get featured by Featherless if you build with open-source AI

Featherless is running an OpenWorld Builders program and wants to feature projects on their blog. If you build with open-source models or run things locally, like fine-tuned variants, local inference setups, or anything you can host yourself, this puts your work in front of an audience that cares about open infrastructure.

The form takes about five minutes. Featherless wants to know what you are building, which models you use, and what makes the project worth covering.

Apply through the Featherless OpenWorld form.

Three deadlines, three actions

Pick the ones that matter for you, then ship something this month. See you on May 22.
