Welcome to Stackle - Your Startup Lab

In this event - Pitch Night: Find a Co-Founder + Meet Builders for Help — a live Zoom meetup for founders and builders to connect and collaborate.

Founders will pitch their startup in 3 minutes and clearly share what they need (co-founder, engineer, designer, growth, data/AI, etc.).
Builders can join to find a startup to team up with, explore co-founder fit, or get hired for a project or role.
Then we’ll split into breakout rooms so builders can jump into the pitches they’re most excited about and help unblock real problems.
Expect fast intros, honest feedback, and practical next steps — not fluff.
Come ready to pitch, contribute, and meet people who actually build.

## FAQ

Q: Is this online or in-person?
A: This is a live Zoom meetup. The Zoom link will be shared in the event details after you RSVP (and before we start).
Q: Do I have to pitch to attend?
A: Nope. You can join as a builder to contribute, network, and join breakout rooms. Pitching is optional.
Q: How do I pitch?
A: Pitches are 3 minutes (180 seconds). Share: (1) what you’re building, (2) who it’s for + problem, (3) what help you want today.
Q: What kinds of builders are you looking for?
A: Engineers (frontend/backend/full-stack), designers, PMs, growth/marketing, data/AI, no-code builders, and operators.
Q: Can I come if I’m hiring or looking for paid help?
A: Yes — hiring is welcome. Please be clear about whether it’s co-founder equity, contract, or full-time.
Q: What happens in breakout rooms?
A: Builders pick a pitch they’re interested in, then you’ll collaborate for ~30 minutes to unblock something real (MVP scope, landing page, messaging, tech stack, etc.).
Q: Will the session be recorded?
A: No recording unless everyone explicitly agrees. (Default is no.)
Q: How do you keep it from turning into sales spam?
A: Simple rule: contribute first. No long service pitches. If you’re here, you’re here to help builders and founders make progress.
Q: Can I share my idea safely?
A: Share at your comfort level. This is a community, not a courtroom — but don’t share secrets you wouldn’t share publicly.
Q: What should I prepare before joining?
A: Founders: 1–2 sentences for your pitch + what help you need. Builders: what you can help with (stack/skills) and what you want to work on.
If you want, I can merge this FAQ directly into your full description and format it exactly like Meetup prefers (shorter lines + scannable).
Q: How do I get the most out of this event?
A: Come with a clear goal and be ready to participate.

• Founders: show up on time, keep your pitch tight, and ask for one specific outcome (e.g., “help me define MVP scope,” “review my landing page copy,” “pick between 2 tech stacks,” “find a co-founder for X”). If you have links, drop one in chat (demo, landing page, deck).
• Builders: pick one pitch you’re genuinely excited about and go deep. Ask clarifying questions fast, then help produce something tangible: a quick MVP outline, a feature list, user flow, tech plan, or next-step checklist.
• Everyone: stay for breakouts, follow up in chat with 1–2 people, and leave with one action you’ll complete in the next 48 hours.
