OpenStartup Community Q&A Mixer & Kickoff

This is the open call kickoff event for our first **OpenStartups gathering **and will be our last event series of the year. We're going to build startups with strangers.

If you've had a startup idea you've always wanted to build but are still are still talking about it 2yrs later having failed to make progress on it, this group is potentially for you.

If you're a talented designer, developer, copywriter, videographer, marketer, SEO expert, social media influencer who is yearning to be part of a startup for the growth potential and excitement but you have a full-time job, this group is definitely for you.

OpenStartup Community is a new initiative from Problemattic that seeks to bring knowledge workers together in pursuit of developing small commercial apps that can grow into revenue-generating side hustles. We believe there is great strength in diversity and we have an incredible pool of diverse talent in Lisbon (see the video on our homepage for past events and testimonials).

With the new AI builder tools it has become obscenely easy to launch a functional MVP of an app in a weekend. The scarcity is not ideas nor desire, it’s finding and coordinating good people to make the project successful over time. That's where our platform and community comes in. We have over 400 people in Lisbon registered with self-described skill sets. This group aims to provide all the tools, support infrastructure, connections and startup capital to coordinate these folks in a casual fashion over a period of weeks to develop low-maintenance, revenue-generating apps entirely in this co-op style approach.

Begin to build equity in startups that resonate with your values and need your skills. Learn adjacent skills that can be beneficial during your day job and get inspired by working with some crazy talented people from other fields.

There is no obligation for attending the Open Call event. We'll be answering questions and demo'ing some of what's possible development-wise with these new AI-based app builder solutions. You can then choose to get involved in one of the active projects or nominate your startup concept here.

If you want to see who you match with based on skills, needs, values, etc create a profile here (it takes 5min and gives you instant matches).
