about this room
A working afternoon for 30 people deciding whether to start a company, run by Dogpatch Labs with OpenAI and supported by NDRC.
It's conversation, not presentations: small-group discussions, co-founder matching, mentoring and office hours, aimed at pressure-testing an idea and working out next steps. You don't need a company, funding or a co-founder, just a problem or idea you're actively weighing up, including if you're thinking of leaving a product, engineering, design or research role to build.
It runs 14:00 to 17:00 at Dogpatch Labs in the CHQ Building. Free, but you apply and places are confirmed after review.
why go
a small, filtered room for the pre-founder stage, with OpenAI, Dogpatch and NDRC behind it. Best for people one decision away from starting something.
