About this event
No pitch night or panel?? Yep, just founders who built without VC money, in a room, actually talking to each other. Whether tech, legal, consulting or other - we share common bootstraps. We will start with a Fireside Chat with Ilya Captain, who created a thriving event business from nothing in a mere few years. He's got battle scars and bruises — and lived insights.

Then we will have a live AI agent build. We'll build from scratch, pulling the room in to help make the calls as we go. We'll end with a mixer so you can chat and connect with others in the trenches. We're at Oakstop this round, a gallery space in downtown Oakland with exposed brick and real art on the walls instead of a beige conference room. Easy if you're coming from SF, Contra Costa, or Berkeley. Close to BART either way. And bring someone who's building — and hasn't raised a dime for it.
