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.
We would like to thank Pilot and Law Office of Herbert T. Patty (HTPLAW) for helping make this event possible.
Agenda

Founders can listen in and discuss team management with Amy Meadows on the Behavior is the Bug Report workshop: Debugging Team Culture with Psychology.
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.
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.
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!
