Blind Spot — people too good to be this hard to find
Blind Spot surfaces people, projects, and ideas whose apparent quality exceeds their current visibility — signal over visibility. Every pick is published with a reason and a link, so you can judge for yourself. A public experiment in attention by Yoav Gerber, part of Words & Music. Not investment advice. Not endorsements.
The picks so far
Mori
AI Infrastructure · Agent Memory — Frederick Wood — AI Builders (June 2026)
Mori looks unusually serious for a project with so little attention around it. It supports several coding-agent environments and is built around a clear problem: agents sharing memory without rules eventually creates chaos.

Foudinge
Applied AI · Knowledge Graphs — Théophile Cantelobre — AI Builders (June 2026)
At first glance, Foudinge looks like a fun restaurant graph. But the more interesting part is the method: turning a messy cultural world into something structured, searchable, and explorable. That feels like it could travel beyond food.

Lin Tsukert
Singer-songwriter · Hebrew — Single: Clay / חימר — Musicians (2026)
The writing is quiet and careful, and the songs hold up. There is almost no audience around it yet, which is what made us look twice.

Shen
Indie / Trip-hop / Psych · Jerusalem — Single: Or · Band — Musicians (2026)
There is a real album here and a sound that is clearly their own, with some quiet support around it. It has not broken out yet, but it seems worth noticing now.

Deswa
Afrobeat / Jazz / Groove · Live — Live: Djambouka · Ensemble — Musicians (2026)
An all-female ensemble that probably comes alive on stage more than on a recording. The playing and the energy are the draw.

How picks are chosen: a name is considered when the work is publicly viewable, shows clear signal, has low visibility relative to that signal, and there is a specific reason to surface it.
