About us
Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley - the innovation capital of the world.
The advent of the Digital Age has democratized innovation and entrepreneurship.
Never before has it been more possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning desire to succeed, to make it big, and in the process, change the world in a relatively short period of time.
HP, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Google, Facebook and many, many, many other iconic companies all started with just an idea.
Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley and beyond. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, engineers, venture capitalists, angel investors, educators, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.

Register for this free webinar and walk away knowing exactly what it's worth — and how to sell it.The way people buy things is changing. Secondhand isn't a fallback anymore — it's often a first choice. Buyers are looking for quality, value, and items that aren't easy to find through retail. And in a world where availability and pricing vary more than ever depending on where you live, something common in your home might be exactly what someone in another market has been looking for.
That shift creates a real opportunity for everyday sellers — especially people who haven't thought of themselves as sellers before.
You don't need to buy inventory. You don't need a warehouse. You don't need a background in retail or tech.
You need to know what you have, what it's worth, and how to describe it accurately. That's what this webinar covers.## What You'll Learn
- How to identify an item you already own and find out exactly what it's worth
- How to use AI to evaluate condition accurately and price with confidence
- How to write a listing that sells and protects you from buyer disputes
- How to build a personal knowledge hub using NotebookLM so you're not starting from scratch every time you find something new
- A clear, realistic plan for getting your first listing live this weekend
## You'll Leave With
- A fully evaluated item ready to list — one you worked through yourself, during the session
- The AI prompts to repeat this process for everything else in your house
- A NotebookLM setup guide for your category
- A weekend action plan built around 1–3 items — not an overwhelming to-do list
- An exclusive discount code for the full course, valid for webinar attendees only
## Why This Matters Right Now
Consumer behavior is shifting in ways that favor secondhand sellers. More buyers are turning to resale platforms as a first choice — not because they have to, but because it makes sense. Supply chains are less predictable. Pricing varies widely across markets. And items that are easy to come by in one place may be scarce or expensive somewhere else entirely.
That means the things you already own have a buyer pool that's wider than you might think. And it means right now is a better time than ever to know what you have and how to sell it well.## About Your Host
Charles Costa, MLIS, is the creator of ResellingGuide.ai and a senior content strategist at eBay. He's been reselling since 2021, focusing on clothing and accessories sourced from estate sales and thrift stores. ResellingGuide.ai is his independent project — not affiliated with eBay.
## Optional Next Step
At the end of the webinar, you'll have the chance to join the full course: Launch a Profitable Reselling Side Hustle Using the Items You Already Own.
It's the complete step-by-step system — from your first listing to a repeatable weekly workflow. Attendees get an exclusive discount code, only available at this webinar.

Claude Code is powerful, but most engineers don't know how to integrate it into their actual workflow. They try it once, get confused about context, or end up reviewing poorly-scoped changes. The result: they revert to manual coding because the friction isn't worth the speed gain.
The Session
This is a hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to use Claude Code as a workflow tool—not a replacement for your judgment. You'll work through real scenarios: exploring unfamiliar codebases, turning feature requests into implementation plans, drafting code and tests, and knowing when Claude Code is worth using versus when you need to steer.
You'll Learn- How to set up Claude Code and give it the context it needs to be useful
- How to explore an unfamiliar repository without losing oversight
- How to turn a feature request or bug into a working implementation plan
- How to review AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability
- Which tasks are high-leverage for Claude Code and which require caution
- Prompt patterns that fit into existing Git, code-review, and CI/CD workflows
Who This Is For
- Software engineers and developers looking to improve day-to-day workflow
- Engineering managers and technical leads evaluating Claude Code for teams
- Data, platform, DevOps, and QA engineers
- Technical product managers who work closely with codebases
- Career-transitioning professionals with foundational coding experience
Prerequisites
- Comfort using a terminal and Git
- Familiarity with at least one programming language
- A laptop with a development environment installed
- Optional: a personal practice repository to work in
Format
90 minutes of interactive instruction with hands-on exercises. An optional 30-minute extended lab or Q&A follows for those who want deeper practice or discussion.1 attendee
