ITCH - Businesses Share What Needs to Be Built

"The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. It's to look for problems, preferably problems you have yourself." Paul Graham Most people who want to build something sit in a room and brainstorm ideas. That is the wrong starting point. The right starting point is a real problem. Felt by a real person. That is the ITCH worth scratching. If you do not have that problem yourself, come find it here. We ran this once. The room was full, people left with ideas to work on, and kept asking when the next one would be. Here it is.​ITCH is a panel discussion with business owners in the SF community. We dig into what is actually hard in their business right now. We ask the questions, you ask the questions, we go deep. Together, we find the ITCH. You leave with a list of real problems you can actually work on. And some of the panelists might let you pilot your solution with them directly. No pitch decks. No imaginary users. Just problems that exist today and people who need them solved. Oh, and we are bringing some snacks and food. This is for anyone who wants to build something. A startup, a side project, or just something for your CV. Up to you. Come and leave with an ITCH.July 15
