tl;dr: Founders Inc hasn't listed this cohort. we did. off season II ran this summer: 200 founders, about 100 teams, 6 weeks at fort mason. there's no public team page, and none of these 10 are on f.inc/portfolio. 3 of them were flagged while the cohort was still in session.

1. Fluent (@fluentforall): accessibility
voice control for windows. speak to dictate, navigate and run real desktop actions hands-free, with every step visible and stoppable. it reads the accessibility tree instead of sending screenshots to a vision model, so it's faster and the screen stays on your machine.
