I’m going to give free Ethereum gas to get your dApp started. In exchange, I will ask you to keep me updated on your project. That’s it. No strings attached. I will decide whether to send you the Ethereum gas after a 15 minutes interview on Zoom.

During the interview I will ask you to:

Explain your idea Show me the app that you are working on. The app has to be partially or completely developed

I will usually make a decision in the following hour, confirm via email and send you the gas you need to get started.

Note that this is a weekend side project for me, so I will be able to take your calls only during the weekends. Book you interview here:

F.A.Q.

Why are you doing this?

When I started programming when I was 14. Back then, the biggest obstacle was that I could not purchase servers to run my websites. My parents would not give me a credit card — and I understand why! I’m sure that the same thing is now happening to young crypto developers around the world. I’m 30 now. It’s time to give back

Who are you?

I’m Vittorio Banfi. StartGas is a weekend side-project. During the week I run Botsociety, a chatbot and voice startup. I’m a 500Startups and YC Startup school alumni. I’m based in San Francisco. You can follow me on Twitter here.

I don’t need Eth gas, I can buy it myself. Can I apply?

Please don’t apply. You will waste my time and yours. It’s cheaper to just buy it.

But I would like to stay updated on Start Gas!

Ok then, leave your email below and I’ll keep you updated on StartGas and the app developers we helped.
