HOW IT WORKS

What is the format?

Step 1: Overview + Founder Interview

A quick overview and five questions (interview), followed by a Q&A about the mission, vision, challenges, and opportunities.  

Step 2: Facilitated Ideation—With No Pressure

We’ll explain it all step by step. Many folks are often surprised by how many ideas they have to offer once we get started.

Step 3: Bring It All Together

Brainstorming generates more than new ideas! Join us to celebrate, connect, and engage with the founders and risk-takers who are creating the future.

3 Session Design Principles

  • Max Value in Minimal Time

    🧭 Tight structure, expansive outcomes
    → Creativity loves constraints. A compressed 90-minute session—but with pacing, clarity, and purposeful transitions creates space for expansive thought. The result: sharp focus without fatigue, and momentum without dilution.

  • Participation Without Pressure

    🧩 Multiple ways to show up.
    → We designed for contribution without obligation. Insight rounds and breakout moments offer space for different voices to enter—without requiring everyone to speak to the whole group. This supports inclusion, honors psychological safety, and invites both introverts and extroverts to meaningfully engage.

  • Momentum Over Resolution

    ⚡ Design for movement, not final answers.
    → We don’t push for consensus. Instead, we generate energy, alignment, and individual-level next steps. A closing engagement survey captures what stuck, what sparked, and what’s next—so teams leave with traction, not just discussion.

25+ People. 90 Minutes. 100s of Ideas & Connections. 1 Startup.
