We Need community support from V0. Can we get?

We’re Building for Youth and We Need the Community Behind Us :heart:

Hi v0 Community :waving_hand:

I’m Sabbir, the founder of next ECA, a youth-led initiative from Bangladesh working to make opportunities, skills, technology, and global exposure more accessible to young people, not only from major cities, but also from local communities and villages.

Right now, our community has grown to 4,000+ young people (From different countries, mostly from BD), and we’re building a 50+ institute nationwide Campus Ambassador network to reach even more students directly on their campuses.

Our goal is simple: A talented student shouldn’t miss an opportunity simply because they didn’t know it existed.

We help young people discover hackathons, competitions, scholarships, internships, workshops, conferences, and other opportunities and mentoring them through their journey. But we also want to go beyond simply listing opportunities.

We’re working toward building a community where young people can:

  • Learn practical skills
  • Explore technology and AI
  • Build projects and startups
  • Find teammates and communities
  • Connect with opportunities beyond their locality
  • Become confident and ready for the rapidly changing world

And we’re trying to build all of this as a youth-led initiative with very limited resources.

I’ve personally put most of my available pocket money into bootstrapping next ECA, hosting, development, tools, operations, and community building. At this stage, I simply don’t have the financial capacity to invest much more.

That’s why I’m reaching out to the v0 community.

We’d love your support. :heart:

If @v0vercel, v0 could support us with credits / access to v0 to help us continue developing next ECA, it would genuinely make a difference.

Even better, we’d love to explore organizing a vibe-coding hackathon / buildathon powered by v0 for our 4,000+ member community and our nationwide Campus Ambassador network.

Imagine giving students — including those who have never had access to proper development resources — a chance to learn, build, experiment with AI, and ship something real. That’s the kind of impact we want to create.

We’re still young. We’re still figuring things out. We don’t have a huge budget or a big organization behind us.

But we have young people, volunteers, ambition, and a community that genuinely wants to build.

If anyone from the v0 team or community can help us with credits, mentorship, resources, collaboration, or even simply point us toward the right person to talk to, we’d be incredibly grateful. And, it will help us build trust, gives us new energy to work for the deprived community.

We don’t just want to build a website. We want to help build a generation with a big vision.

If you’re interested in supporting or collaborating with next ECA, please comment below or reach out to me at sas@nexteca.club

Thank you to everyone building tools that make it easier for young people like us to build. :heart:

Hi Sabbir, welcome to the community!

Thank you for sharing and for your contributions in your local community.

You can share more about the hackathon you are planning through our Meetup SDK, where the team can review to see if it’s something we can support.

Thanks for the info. After planning the hackathon, we will apply to the Meetup SDK. I hope Vercel will love it and support us. Again Thanks
