Cafe2035_ Agentic Solo Founder | OpenClaw Edition
🤗 Pre-seed is too slow, so we’re experimenting with pre-pre-seed - live and AI-assisted. 🧪
The Concept
You have an idea. You've been sitting on it. Waiting for the right co-founder, the right moment, the right conditions.
Do not wait for ideal conditions to begin.
At the event, We’ll be testing ‘The 2035 app’ an AI-assisted, human-reviewed process to identify solo founders for whom 1 week of hands-on support from PyratzLabs + $15k check to make it real. This could be unusually high-leverage.
Subject to final review, eligibility, legal docs, and clean diligence, I may invest $15K via a post-money SAFE at a $1M post-money cap, targeting roughly 0.5%. - Yes, after 2h, your idea might be worth 1m$
The score is directional:
1/3 founder profile
1/3 idea potential
1/3 founder–idea fit / taste alignment
For everyone else, the real value is momentum: getting sh*t done, meeting sharp people, and/or leaving with a builder/vibe buddy for a 1-week sprint.
Any investment is case-by-case and subject to final diligence and documentation. The AI score is only an input, not a final decision.
Event co-organized by PyratzLabs, Sumeria, s16vc Founder for Founders Fund. In partnership with LeScribe.

📋 The basics
Who it's for:
Solo founders. Or anyone who wants to be one. That's the whole filter.
Side founders welcome. Got a day job? Just got laid off? Sold your last company for $10M and figuring out what's next? You belong here.
You're agentic. You move or want to move at 100x powered by AI
You have an idea, ten ideas, or no idea yet. All welcome.
You're at day zero. Pre-incorporation, pre-funding, pre-revenue. Or you've been at it a few weeks but nothing real yet.
Any idea is welcome. B2B SaaS, weird consumer apps, niche tools, lifestyle businesses, AI agents nobody asked for, things that will only ever make $50K a year, things that might be the next OpenAI. You don't need to be building the next unicorn. You don't need to sound like a VC pitch. You just need to be building and have fun!
Note: The VC Part will be handled by PyratzLabs team.
How It Works
Before the Event
Register on Luma
Submit your idea via a short form: What's the problem? What's your solution? Why you?
During the Event
Meet other solo founders moving at your speed. Share what's working and what isn't. Get matched by the AI to someone you should know. Eat. Drink. Have fun.
🕐 The 2 hours
Welcome + the community (10 min) Who we are, who's in the room, why we're building this together.
The world in 2035 + Q&A (10 min) What AI is changing. What new kinds of startups are now possible. Why now is the moment. Bring questions.
Vibe pitch in the 2035 app (20 min) Open the app. Pitch your idea, pick one up, or remix one from the room. Fast, playful, no polish required.
Drinks & Networking (90 min) Open bar. Connect with the other founders in the room. Find your co-founder, your first user, your next idea.
Solo founders can feel lonely. Not anymore.
You walk in solo. You walk out with:
Best case:
1-week Hands-on hacking support by PyratzLabs - we build it with you
$15k check at the end of the week
Worst case:
A match or just some fun with new friends who actually get it.
Why we're doing this
We believe 2035 will be a better world. But only if enough solo founders build it. AI just made that possible at a scale we've never seen. One person with a laptop and a few agents can now ship what used to take a startup full of people
That changes everything. And it changes who gets to build. You don't need a Stanford MBA, a $5M seed round, or a 10-person team. You need an idea (or the willingness to find one) and a few weeks of focus worst case > try again next week!
Café2035 is for the people stepping into that. We're here to help you launch.

⚠️ This is a beta. Please read.
Café2035 is an experimental event format. Like any startups building a product, designing a great event imply experimenting, I'm testing how an app, AI matchmaking, and a real room of solo founders work together it’s a little scary 😱 but we will have a lot of fun ❤️
You'll need to share some public data:
Public LinkedIn required. This is how we verify you're a real person.
Some data will be shared publicly. Your professional profile, your in-app pitch, your match, and your participation activity may be visible to other attendees and used to improve the format. You control what you share beyond this baseline.
Solo founders only. This event is for solo founders, sidefounders, or people who want to become one. Day zero, building with AI.
The format will evolve based on what we learn. Your feedback is part of the deal.
More to come. This is the first of many. We have a few surprises planned.
