this saturday we are back in London.
100 matchas. 60 second pitches. 1 king of the cafe.
don't just tell us what you're building. tell us why.
the king wins a prize worthy of the title.
aug 29th, corgi cafe, london
discipline is painful only for a bit.
indiscipline is comfortable, but the pain comes later with regret.
so choose your pain.

basedcollective is invite-only. on sept 16, it isn't.
one day, one room: work, lunch, 10 live demos, and investors watching.
apply using the link in comments.
it's september. four months left on everything you decided in january.
on the 16th basedspace opens for one day: coworking, lunch, ten teams demoing live, investors watching.
just show up and actually change.
psychology calls it the spotlight effect. you overestimate how closely people are watching you, so you build in private and hope the product speaks for itself.
it doesn't. six months later a user tells you in five minutes what a room could have told you on day one.
september 16th at basedspace. get shot down by founders who've already built, and leave with the feedback six months of hiding would have bought you.
simply go do the thing.
there is nothing else that will push you forward as much as doing the thing.
so go DO the thing.
most startup events put 5,000 people in a room and give 5 of them a stage.
we're giving 10 teams the stage and keeping the room small enough that the people who can back you actually see what you built.
september 16. comment "gathering" and we'll reach out.
364 days a year you need an invite.
september 16th you don't.
10 teams demo live
firstpick, practica, superhero capital, outlast in the room.

last saturday @UseCorgi cafe hosted us in london with a simple format.
you pitch.
you get a matcha.
this is how it looked.
you pitched what you're building, you got a matcha. that was the whole deal at @UseCorgi cafe.
some of them were mad, most were said out loud for the first time.
that first time is the entire gap between -1 and 0.
the cost of building isn't failing. it's turning down the offers everyone around you would take.
comfort, money, the best jobs in lithuania, startup and corporate, all traded for the chance to build the future.
