#690 | Cyn Bahiti, Recelerators & Mudas đż
Weâve been busy taking three incredible projects through our pilot Recelerator - an 8-week âregenerative acceleratorâ thatâs been built on our Good Growth framework. Itâs the first time weâve really flexed the Protein Community around a transformation mission and itâs a beautiful thing to behold âš
We also have a bunch of Protein IRL + URL events coming up, but weâre most looking forward to Cyn Bahiti dropping by the Discord on Tuesday for a live Stories of Growth recording. If you fancy listening in, bring your best backchannel GIFs and RSVP here, as itâs open to all.
So, let's get straight into our monthly round-up of membersâ links âŠ

SMALL PRINT
Protein is a place where people and ideas grow đ± We do this through our global community, agency, and studio space. We believe weâve all got a responsibility to think and act bigger than ourselves and that good growth can only be achieved by balancing progress, profit, and purpose.
Yes, we really have published 690 issues of this newsletter. The first Protein Supplement was sent on 17th September 1997 to 14 people and (other than a few breaks over the years) has always aimed to distill whatâs happening at the intersection of culture and technology into a concise and accessible digest. If youâre interested in digging into the (incomplete) archive, you can here.
You can also find us on Discord, Mirror, Twitter, and Insta. We always like to hear from you and how we can improve what we do, so if you want to get in touch about anything, please use this form.
