WAYPOINT ZERO - For Startup Founders

Want to build something but have no idea where to start? No problem. No experience needed. Let's get your first prototype live!
About this Event

Most founder events assume you already have a plan. This one does not!

You do not need an idea. You do not need experience. You just need curiosity to join this gathering.

This is where solo builders become teams. You will spend two days with other people who want to start something. A casual gathering of designers, developers, marketers, operators, dreamers. Some have ideas. Some have skills. Some have neither and just want to learn. By the end, you might have a problem to solve, a prototype to test, or a co-founder to build with.

There are no judges, no prizes, and no pitching. Just a real community helping each other figure out what to build and how to do it.

You will find a real problem people actually have, team up with someone whose skills complement yours, build a tiny first version, and get honest feedback from strangers. Then you join a community that checks in on you weekly so you stay motivated 😎

What it is

✅ Small casual gathering for startup lovers!
✅ A place to meet your future co-founder or first teammate
✅ A place to start building a prototype and first blueprint of your startup idea
✅ Real feedback on your idea from real people, not a panel of judges
✅ A step-by-step roadmap you could follow after the event to build your idea
✅ A community you check in with weekly
✅ Free. No equity. No hidden fees. No application required. Just book the event here.

Already have a startup? You're welcome too.

What it is not

❌ A hackathon where teams pitch to investors for prize money
❌ A big networking event where you trade business cards and never speak again
❌ A course where you watch slides and take notes
❌ An accelerator that takes a percentage of your company
❌ For people who want to talk about startups instead of building one!

You do not need a team, a deck, not even an idea anyone interested is welcome to join.
📍Important: The exact address goes out only to confirmed attendees shortly before the event. You will receive an email shortly before the event to confirm you will join, then you will receive the final address.
