\#\# The Premise What if you could take any idea — half-baked, borrowed, ridiculous, too early, too late — and run it through a gauntlet of AI agents and sharp minds until it either becomes bulletproof or reveals exactly why it doesn't work? That's this meetup. \*\*The Hypothetical Agentic Unicorn Clinic\*\* is a structured, playful, and rigorous session where we take startup ideas — yours, someone else's, totally made up — and improve them in real time using agentic workflows, collective intelligence, and honest feedback. No judgment. No stakes. Just ideas getting better. \-\-\- \#\# Why "Hypothetical"? The hardest part of sharing an idea isn't the idea — it's the fear of being judged for having it. So we made it hypothetical. You're not pitching your life's work. You're not asking for funding. You're not committing to anything. You're running a \*\*thought experiment\*\*: \*What would it take for this idea to become a unicorn?\* That framing changes everything. When the idea is hypothetical, you can be honest. You can poke holes. You can say "this probably doesn't work because..." and someone else can say "unless you do X." You can disagree without it being personal. You can be wrong without it mattering. The best insights come when the stakes feel low enough to think clearly. Hypothetical Idea Submission Form https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL \-\-\- \#\# What Actually Happens \*\*You bring an idea. Any idea.\*\* It could be: \- Something you've been sitting on but are afraid to say out loud \- A startup you saw and thought "that's almost right but\.\.\." \- A totally absurd concept you find interesting \- A real thing you're building and want to stress\-test anonymously \- Something an AI suggested to you that you couldn't stop thinking about \*\*We run it through the clinic.\*\* The group — with the help of AI agents — takes the idea through a structured improvement loop: 1\. \*\*Diagnosis\*\*: What's the actual insight here? What problem does this solve? 2\. \*\*Challenge\*\*: Where does this break? What assumptions is it making? 3\. \*\*Repair\*\*: How do we fix the broken parts without losing the core? 4\. \*\*Amplification\*\*: If this worked\, what would make it a unicorn? 5\. \*\*Verdict\*\*: Is it viable\, pivotable\, or dead on arrival — and why? Each round takes about 20 minutes. We run 4-6 ideas per session. \-\-\- \#\# The Role of AI Agents This is an agentic meetup — so agents do real work, not just window dressing. During the session, we'll use agents to: \- \*\*Research the market\*\* in real time: Is anyone building this? What does the landscape look like? \- \*\*Steelman the idea\*\*: Generate the strongest possible version of the argument for why this works \- \*\*Identify failure modes\*\*: Systematically surface the ways this breaks \- \*\*Propose pivots\*\*: Suggest modifications that preserve the core insight while fixing structural problems \- \*\*Draft a one\-pager\*\*: Turn the improved idea into a coherent pitch summary The agents accelerate the process and introduce angles the group might miss. The humans provide judgment, context, and the instinct for what actually matters. This is what governed agents with flexible orchestration looks like in practice — not automation replacing thinking, but amplifying it. Hypothetical Idea Submission Form https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL \#\# Who Should Come You don't need to have a startup. You don't need to be a founder. You don't need to have the idea ready when you register. You should come if: \- You're curious about how AI agents can be used for real strategic thinking \- You want to practice the skill of rapid idea development and critique \- You enjoy building on other people's ideas and having yours built on \- You want to see agentic workflows in action\, not just hear about them \- You want to contribute to a room of builders who think seriously about ideas \*\*What we're looking for in participants:\*\* \- Technically literate enough to follow an agentic workflow \- Willing to be both generous and honest in feedback \- Comfortable with ambiguity and unfinished thinking \- Curious\, not defensive You don't have to be an expert. You have to be willing to think in public. \-\-\- \#\# Format & Practicalities \*\*Duration:\*\* 2-2.5 hours \*\*Format:\*\* In-person (Prague) with livestream option \*\*Ideas per session:\*\* 4–6 \*\*Each idea:\*\* \~20 minutes of structured clinic work \*\*Timeline:\*\* \- 18:00 — Doors open\, idea submissions collected \- 18:30 — Brief intro: the format\, the rules\, the spirit \- 18:45 — Clinic begins \(3–4 ideas\, 20 min each\) \- 20:15 — Open discussion: what did we learn? \- 20:30 — Drinks\, conversations\, follow\-ups \*\*How to submit an idea:\*\* Fill out a short form before the event (2 sentences max — idea + the core assumption). We select 3–4 ideas for the session. All submissions are treated with discretion. You can submit anonymously if you prefer. Hypothetical Idea Submission Form https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL \#\# The Rules 1\. \*\*No bad ideas\.\*\* There are only ideas at different stages of development\. 2\. \*\*Critique the idea\, not the person\.\*\* "This doesn't work because X" not "you haven't thought this through\." 3\. \*\*Build before you destroy\.\*\* Steelman first\, then challenge\. 4\. \*\*Hypothetical protects everyone\.\*\* No one is committed to building what we discuss\. 5\. \*\*Confidentiality by default\.\*\* What's shared in the clinic stays in the clinic\. \-\-\- \#\# Why This Matters Most ideas die not because they're bad — but because the person holding them never found the right room to test them. The clinic is that room. It's also a live demonstration of what agentic tools can do for strategic thinking. Not AI replacing judgment, but AI extending it — doing the research, generating alternatives, stress-testing assumptions — so the humans in the room can focus on what they do best: connecting patterns, making calls, and knowing when something is worth pursuing. \*\*When execution becomes cheap, the premium moves to orientation.\*\* The clinic is practice for that skill.

This month we bring you a seminar from the host of Prague's famous Cafe Philo, Albert Hoffman, entitled **“Paths in the Wood”**. In this seminar, we'll be exploring **the later writings of Martin Heidegger** where he explores **our relationship to time, connection to place, and the very question of what it means to exist**. The relationship between Heidegger and the Black Forest in south-western Germany, the landscape in which he produced many of his most famous works, was one of intense emotional and intellectual intimacy. From the small, three-room cabin–which he affectionately called "die Hütte”-- **the forest becomes a strong metaphor for a way of thinking that moves more slowly and attentively than the technological mindset of modernity.** Heidegger’s later philosophy shifts away from the technical language of Being and Time toward a more meditative style of thinking. **What does it mean to “dwell”? Why does Heidegger so often write about forests, paths, clearings, and huts? And what might these metaphors reveal about his critique of modern technological society?** Whether you are new to Heidegger or already familiar with his work, join us for a discussion of how philosophy can help us reconsider our relationship to nature, place, and the way we inhabit the world. \*\*\* We’ll have tea and light snacks, but please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share! This event will be hosted in an apartment with a well-trained dog who will be happy to meet you. If anyone has concerns about dogs, let me know so I can be mindful about keeping her from bothering you. The buzzer is Everett and Mainous—we’re on the 5th floor, apartment 16.

There is a wisdom that lives in the sea — in its depth, its movement, its light. In this three-part series, we begin each ceremony with cacao to root into the body, soften, and arrive. From there, breath becomes a doorway into the inner waters — into movement, feeling, release, and deeper contact with what lives within. Each ceremony explores a different quality of the inner ocean: Fluidity — trusting the flow of life Depth — the courage to feel Luminosity — the light beneath the surface You are welcome to join the full journey or come to any ceremony individually. Each session is a complete experience on its own, while also forming part of a deeper unfolding process. DEPTH - This evening is an invitation to reconnect with your emotional depth, meet what is present without avoidance, and access inner strength and resilience. This practice includes intensive breathwork and cacao. It is not suitable for those who are pregnant or have epilepsy, glaucoma, serious heart conditions, severe cardiovascular disease, unmanaged severe hypertension, or acute psychiatric disorders. If you have any health concerns, please reach out in advance so the practice can be adapted safely. If you have food allergies or sensitivities, please also let us know beforehand.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
