MISSION OVERVIEW

Building High-Impact
Products, Fast

Tactical Operations is a program built around one idea: ship real products, build real skills, and grow a real presence — all at the same time.

Viral, Low-Lift Builds

We build websites that function as real products — designed to grow quickly and spread on Twitter.

🛠️

Hackathon Energy

Think hackathon-style projects: minimal overhead, maximum impact. Every build ships to your GitHub.

💼

Real Work Experience

More than a portfolio piece — you gain the kind of experience you'd get working at an actual job.

⏱️

5–10 Hours Per Week

A manageable commitment that fits around your schedule while delivering serious results.

📋

Professional Standards

Clear communication, set expectations, and accountability — this runs like a real professional environment.

🚀

Resume-Worthy Output

Every project is something you can be proud of, talk about in interviews, and show to the world.

INTRODUCTORY STEPS

Before You Build
Anything, Get Set Up

A few things to get in order before you start building. These are quick — don't overthink them.

01

Set Up Cursor

Use your .edu email address to access reduced pricing. This is your primary development environment.

02

Log All Expenses

Every expense goes in the shared spreadsheet. You'll be fully reimbursed via Zelle, Venmo, or cash — your choice, no delays.

03

Communicate Directly

Reach out to Akshay directly for any expense questions or reimbursements. No bureaucracy, no hassle.

04

Budget: $5,000 Authorized

There's plenty of room to work with. Just contact Akshay before any large purchases — standard practice.

TWITTER STRATEGY

Your Twitter Is Your
Personal Brand — Own It

Twitter is the single most powerful tool in this program. It's where you'll grow, network, and discover what to build next.

TARGET.ACQUISITION

2,500

Followers by end of semester

💬

50+ Replies Per Day

Consistency is the strategy, not luck. Showing up daily in conversations is how you grow.

📱

Switch Your Hours

If you're on Instagram or TikTok, Twitter is more stimulating, more professional, and more lucrative. Reallocate your time.

💡

Value-First Content

Content that provides value and is shareable is what goes viral. Aesthetics alone will never get you there.

🌐

Unlimited Upside

At 2,500 followers, you can DM VCs, land jobs, and build a real public presence. Twitter outperforms LinkedIn.

STEP 1 // ACCOUNT SETUP

  • >Create an account with a high-potential, abstract, and unique name — think carefully, this matters
  • >Profile picture and banner should reflect who you are and where you're going — run ideas by Akshay
  • >Write a bio that positions you as an individual, not as a member of Tactical Operations
  • >This is about building your presence — Tactical Ops is the vehicle, you are the brand
  • >Akshay will share curated Twitter lists to help you plug into the right communities fast

SYS.NOTE — If you show promise, Akshay will cover CreatorBuddy.io (by @alexfinn) — an AI-powered tweet writing tool that helps you craft and schedule content faster.

PROJECT SELECTION

Choose Your Mission

Three project tracks are available. Each is a real product with real potential. Pick the one that excites you most.

PROJECT.01

SPXRK

WEB3 RESEARCH

Web3 research is deeply fragmented — Solana docs, YouTube, Twitter, on-chain data, TikTok — there's no single source of truth. SPXRK fixes that.

  • >Open crawler aggregates research from across the web into one unified knowledge base
  • >N8N AI flowchart pipeline compresses data into Google Docs and iterates for quality
  • >Articles output at three levels: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced
  • >Sources graded by credibility and origin for quality control
  • >UI/frontend mostly complete — your job is connecting N8N and the crawler to the backend

PROJECT.02

Trade VC

FINTECH / VIRAL

Paper trade venture-backed private companies and compete against real VC portfolios. Built to go viral — and potentially become a real product under Poly Shares.

  • >Out-trade top VC partners like a16z and Sequoia — make it public, competitive, addictive
  • >VCs may get on the platform and compete against each other, creating organic virality
  • >Fueled by external marketing budget from Poly Shares — Akshay's personal company
  • >Potential to evolve into tokenized equities and a full product launch
  • >Money-making opportunities exist for contributors — this is a potential business

PROJECT.03

Build Your Own

OPEN TRACK

The best ideas come from people who are deeply online. If you see something on Twitter you want to build, let's build it. Akshay will fund it.

  • >Spend time on Twitter, encounter new tools, gaps, and ideas — that's the signal
  • >Akshay will fund your learning and exploration — tools, APIs, subscriptions
  • >The goal: train you to be an absolute builder who ships solutions on instinct
  • >Ideas, curiosity, and drive to create are the most valuable things you can bring
  • >Get deep. Build things. Have opinions. That's the whole game.
