About us
We put presenters on full blast by asking hard-hitting growth marketing questions.
Why?
We want growth marketing tactics, not strategies.
We want a ready-to-use marketing playbook.
After attending many growth marketing events, I realized no one was sharing their best secrets.
We're interested in the marketing tactics that give you an Instagram following of 90K in one year, that build a Facebook Group of ten thousand active members, that get a podcast to 100,000 downloads in the first few months, and much more.
Our mission is to empower 1 million founders.
Our presenters include the best in the industry - CMOs, head of growths, VCs, and successful founders. Get ready to discover the best insights into making startups successful.

The software engineering market didn't collapse. It split — and most candidates are still preparing for the market that existed three years ago.
Openings exist, but they've concentrated. AI-adjacent and infrastructure roles are competitive to fill while generalist roles sit far below their pre-2022 baseline. The entry rung has thinned as AI absorbs the well-bounded work that used to train junior engineers, which pushes recent grads and career changers into a crowded middle already occupied by laid-off mid-level engineers. Time-to-hire has stretched. Fully remote postings are rare.
The bigger change is one almost nobody is preparing for: the interview itself got rebuilt. After a wave of real-time AI assistance in remote coding screens, companies responded in two directions. Some dragged interviews back on-site. Others redesigned the assessment — adding rounds where you're handed an AI assistant and evaluated on whether you can prompt it, catch its mistakes, and defend the result. Follow-up questions became the filter. Narrating your reasoning out loud went from nice-to-have to the thing you're actually scored on.
If your prep strategy is "grind 500 LeetCode problems," you are optimizing for a screen that increasingly isn't the deciding round.
Join software engineer and mentor Phong Lam for a working session on what's actually required to land a software engineering role right now. He'll cover:- Where the market genuinely split, and which side of it your background currently sits on
- Why interview loops changed in 2026 — on-site returns, AI-assisted rounds, and follow-up questions as the real filter
- How to prepare by pattern, not volume: recognizing question families instead of memorizing solutions
- The new prep skill nobody practices — debugging and defending code you didn't write
- How to talk about using AI in your work without sounding like you've outsourced your judgment
- How mid-level and senior engineers coming off a layoff avoid reading as "generalist" on paper
- Where the openings actually are, including the non-obvious companies quietly hiring software talent
- What career changers and recent grads can do to clear a bar that moved after they enrolled
Come with your questions, your loop stories, and the roles you're targeting.

Build an AI agent that job hunts while you sleep.
In this hands‑on session, you’ll use Claude to build a job hunt agent that actually saves you time instead of creating more busywork. You’ll learn how to set up focused channels for targeting roles, researching companies, and tailoring outreach, then wire in various APIs so your agent can pull fresh job postings and context on demand. We'll learn how to have a reusable channel setup and prompt patterns you can run weekly to keep your search organized, personalized, and mostly on autopilot.Build an AI agent that job hunts while you sleep.
AI agents are an emerging way to automate parts of your job search, from sourcing roles to drafting outreach, so you spend less time grinding and more time in real conversations.
In this beta, hands‑on workshop, you’ll follow a guided build to assemble a prototype “Job Search Copilot” using Claude. Rather than promising a polished, one‑click agent, we’ll focus on helping you understand the building blocks: structuring prompts and tasks, wiring simple workflows, and tailoring behaviors for your role or niche.
Because tools and setups vary, not every participant will leave with a perfectly running agent in their own environment. Instead, you’ll leave with:
- A concrete mental model of how AI agents support a job search.
- A copy of the instructor’s working example project you can study and reuse.
- Templates, code snippets, and a step‑by‑step guide you can revisit after the session to get your own version fully working.
- No prior technical experience is required, but you should be comfortable installing software and copying commands. If you hit environment issues during the live session, we’ll provide ways to follow along using prepared checkpoints so you can still absorb the patterns and process.
This session will be recorded. All registrants receive:
- The recording.
- Links to the example project.
- Written setup instructions and troubleshooting tips.
- Whether you’re a jobseeker, career coach, or a professional curious about operationalizing AI in your workflow, this workshop is designed to give you a realistic, experiment‑ready starting point, not a finished product.
What you’ll walk away with
- A reusable blueprint for building simple AI agents with modern tools.
- A prototype “Job Search Copilot” project (or access to a working example) that you can refine after the workshop.
- Practical patterns you can extend to other use cases beyond job hunting.
Finally, this session will be recorded. If you sign up and cannot make it, a recording will be sent to you.
