INDEPENDENT. SOVEREIGN. DAILY.

Back a Builder Who Ships Every Day

I'm Ryan, aka NoBanks Nearby. I build 20+ production AI apps as a solo founder, running everything on a Mac Mini in my home studio. No VC funding. No cloud API bills. No corporate overlords. I chose this path because I believe software should serve users, not investors.

I'm neurodivergent (ASD + Bipolar II) and building is my superpower. I ship code every single day. I release original music every single day. I run a 24/7 radio station, a Telegram AI agent, three enterprise SaaS products, a charity roast platform, and a dozen more tools. All from one desk.

Your support changes the math. It means I can keep building full-time without taking a day job or giving equity to people who want to turn my work into another surveillance product.

What $5 Actually Does

$5 One day of local AI compute (electricity for the Mac Mini running 24/7)
$25 A month of domain registrations across 8 zones and 20+ subdomains
$100 A new product sprint: dev tools, services, and focused build time for a new app
$500 Hardware upgrade: more RAM, faster inference, more apps running simultaneously
$1,000 A dedicated inference node: second Mac Mini for production model serving, doubling capacity
$5,000 Humanoid robotics R&D: initial NX1 components, sensors, and dev kit for custom human-agent tooling
$10,000 First NX1 humanoid robot: a physical body for NoClaw, running local AI, with custom-built apps for human-agent collaboration
$25,000+ Two humanoid robots + the custom software stack to operate them. The goal: build and open-source the tools that let any solo builder deploy autonomous agents in the physical world

The Robotics Vision

This is not hobby robotics. I'm building custom tools and applications designed to work with humanoid robots like the NX1, creating the software layer that bridges local AI agents (already running 24/7 on my Mac) with physical-world autonomy. The same sovereign AI stack powering NoClaw on Telegram today will power a robot that can see, speak, reason, and act in the real world. Two robots, one builder, zero cloud dependency. Scaling human-agent life from software into the physical world.

Why Not VC?

I chose to build without venture capital because I believe software should serve users, not investors. VC funding comes with a board, a growth mandate, and pressure to harvest user data for monetization. My apps run on local AI specifically so your data never leaves your device. Taking VC would mean compromising that principle. Your support lets me keep building the way I believe software should be built: sovereign, private, and human-first.
