Pick where you want to go. Every route starts with a move you can make within the hour.
Problem: senders do not see the spread. What you own: a comparison in dollars inside the send flow and receipts the family can read. Proof: sends made and dollars saved against the bank route. Keep it under 120 words.
Sends made, average all-in cost per route, and the dollars families kept compared with the bank wire. Put them in one small table.
Go to https://communityfund.stellar.org/ and signal interest. Under SCF 7.0 eligible teams are invited into a Build round, with Build Awards up to $150,000 in XLM; a round page lists a Build submission deadline of Nov 8, 2026, so check the portal for the current round. They want a validated project that will launch on Stellar, and referrals from alumni, ambassadors or partners help. Small Instawards go through local Stellar Ambassador chapters.
Go to https://www.ycombinator.com/apply. YC invests $500K ($125K for 7% plus a $375K uncapped MFN SAFE), can pay out in USDC and actively wants stablecoin companies. The W27 deadline was Nov 2, 2026 at 8:00pm PT and late applications are still considered. You must be willing to incorporate in the US, Canada, Cayman or Singapore and move to San Francisco for the batch.
Show the comparison with the spread in dollars, a send from your own wallet and the family receipt. Attach it to both applications.
