Founder Home Base - Oakland Tech Week
Work. Build. Recharge. Connect.
Founder work doesn't stop for Oakland Tech Week, so we're creating a place to actually do it.
Grow Scale Develop and Informal Spaces Oakland are opening the doors for a full-day founder home base:
a place to get work done,
meet people naturally,
get feedback on what you're building,
and spend the day in community with people who get it.
If you need a moment to recharge and come back - the doors are open for you.
Agenda
9:00a–2:30p | Open CoWork (Drop-in)
Start the morning however you need it.
Grab coffee, open your laptop, work alongside other founders and operators, or use the room to make a few connections.
10:00a–12:00p | GSD Founder Office Hours- AMA
Grow Scale Develop Office Hours with Amirah Raveneau-Bey
Founders can join Amirah to work through revenue, go-to-market, or whatever may be blocking their next stage of growth.
3:00p–4:00p | Oakland Founder Showcase
See what Oakland is building. Help make it stronger.
We shift from working alongside each other to sharing what we're building. A curated group of Oakland founders will demo their companies, followed by candid feedback and conversation with investors, operators, and experts in the room. If you'd like to showcase your own company, apply here.
Moderated by Amirah, the conversation goes beyond the demo to ask - What will help this business get to the next level?
Revenue. GTM. Product. Design. Positioning. Growth.
And if you're not presenting, you're still part of it. Come to learn from the feedback, contribute your perspective, and discover what Oakland founders are building.
4:30p–7:00p | The Mixer
Close the laptops. Open the room.
The evening mixer brings together founders, investors, builders, innovators, and the broader Oakland Tech Week community for the kind of connections that happen when people have had more than five minutes together.
Come to work. Stay to build. Leave more connected than you came.
Thank you Experts and Sponsors!
