​Got a bold idea? Take the mic.

​Hot Takes Cooler Planet is an open mic night for researchers and future founders. Each speaker gets 2 minutes to pitch a startup idea, a research thesis or a spicy opinion, followed by 3 minutes of questions from the crowd. No slides, no polish needed: just one strong idea and a room of researchers, founders and investors ready to challenge, cheer and help.

​One rule: every hot take needs a so-what. Tell us what everyone gets wrong, then tell us what we should do or build instead. Bold and contrarian welcome. Evidence-based and constructive required.

​Afterwards, drinks and networking to find co-founders, collaborators and your next big conversation.

​🎤 Want to pitch? Tell us your take when you register. We have around 10 slots and will confirm speakers 48 hours before.
