Daniel Dipold, Ewar: modular fellowships & Sigma Squared

After some stream troubleshooting, Daniel Dipold joins from a castle and pitches Ewar: a fully flexible, modular fellowship ($600K plus cloud credits, 35 founders a year, 40% of staff former $100M+ company builders) whose average raise has jumped from $800K to $4.5M, plus the newly launched "Operators Day" hiring MVP. He contrasts Ewar with Sigma Squared, the nonprofit community he built out of Kairos for founders 25 and under, centered on its global summit in Valencia. He argues AI is resetting the age advantage for young builders, predicts 90% of knowledge work gets automated within 10–20 years, and notes 7 of his ~50 angel investments became unicorns.
