​For logistical reasons, please RSVP here to confirm your seat **->** https://luma.com/wystkxon **Friday is our open co-working day.** ​People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It’s quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ​You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like. ​At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called **The Stage**, then everyone goes back to working. ​This is how Fridays here work. \-\-\- **The Stage @ 1.30PM** > ​The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping him/her up at night. > ​The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working. > ​After the session, we go back to work. **​** **Topic: Pricing Strategy - Finding the Sweet Spot** **​[Mohammed Sebti](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammedsebti/)** ​*Co-founder & CEO, SeedS Strategy* *​Revenue Growth Mentor, Block71* *​Former management consultant, Simon-Kucher* ​​Pricing is one of the strongest levers founders have, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Many teams default to cost-plus or copy competitors, then struggle to adjust as their product, customers, and use cases evolve. ​In this session, Sebti will share how he thinks about pricing as a system, not a number. Drawing from his work advising SaaS, AI, and deep tech startups across Europe and APAC, he’ll walk through real pricing decisions founders face as they move from early traction to growth. ​We’ll look at: * ​How to move from cost-plus thinking to value-driven pricing * ​Choosing between pricing models as products and segments evolve * ​Where pricing decisions hurt conversion and retention * ​How to test willingness to pay without overfitting too early ​This session is all about building a pricing model that can adapt as your product and market change. ​The goal is to leave with a clearer way to think about pricing decisions, and a framework you can apply to your own product. ​After the session, we go back to work or hang out to network. \-\-\-

☕🎨 Coffee Painting Workshop (Welcoming 2026) As we begin 2026, this workshop invites you to slow down, reflect, and ease into the new year with intention. Coffee painting is a gentle, sensory experience that uses the aroma and texture of coffee to help calm the mind and body. The scent of coffee stimulates relaxation from the nose to the brain, encouraging us to pause, be present, and allow the healing process to begin. No art experience is needed. This session is about the process — not perfection. Come as you are, take your time, and enjoy a moment of calm creativity as we reflect and start the year mindfully. 🎨 What to Expect Guided coffee painting session suitable for all skill levels Relaxing, mindful activity to help you reflect on your starting 2026 experiences Art materials provided A chance to take home your very own coffee-scented artwork as a keepsake ☕ Why Coffee Painting? Coffee painting is more than an art activity — it is a gentle form of therapy. The aroma of coffee stimulates relaxation from the nose to the brain, creating a calming effect that helps you slow down and be present. As you paint, you are invited to pause, breathe, and allow the healing process to begin. A perfect way to unwind while reflecting on the year. 📅 Event Details 📍 Venue: BLOCK71 71 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #03-25.

We’ve all been there—we say one thing and do another. When our words and actions don’t line up, we lose trust, credibility, and momentum. But imagine a life where your actions consistently back up your words—a life marked by clarity, confidence, and impact. That’s the power of congruence. The Congruence Connection exists to help people close the gap, live with integrity, and show up aligned every single day. A new year brings a fresh opportunity to reset, realign and step into success.

First attempt at this. If it's good, we'll do it again. If it sucks, we tried. (Event photo is from a recent trip to Flagstaff. Stock photos of fake people drinking coffee are the worst.) **Why I'm doing this:** You're the average of the people you spend the most time with. Running a business solo means I've been spending most of my time with myself. And AI tools, which are great for thinking through business problems, but terrible for actual human connection. I want to raise that average. Looking for people who want real conversations. Not networking, not pitches, just the kind of talk that makes you think differently about what you're building and why. If we all end up making a few friends along the way, even better. **What to expect:** Coffee. Conversation. No pitches, no elevator speeches, no going around the table introducing ourselves like it's a corporate icebreaker. Just show up and talk like a normal human. **Ground rules:** * No pitching your business * No recruiting * No MLM talk * No hustle porn **RSVP cap:** 6 people max so it doesn't turn into a crowd. **Location:** Transcend Coffee & Roastery in Grove City **Time:** Friday, January 16th at 11 AM. See you there!
