A note from the founder

This holding company starts with the companies I have built myself, and only later opens to other founders who build in public.

Creations of the Ill Minded is an open holding company in formation, and each company's numbers are shown in public as it grows.

Nothing here is an offer to invest, and no money is being raised.
