Okay. So I guess idea number one goes to this... crappy startup idea that every kid in college has coming out of college. They're like 22. And the first idea they come up with is what? It's an app to help you hang out with people when you're bored. And all of these apps have failed. Like all of them have failed. Like they just don't work.
There's this negative selection bias where it's like the people who actually want to hang out are not the people you want to hang out with and like all of this stuff. But before we landed on the idea that I'm working on right now in stealth, we actually pursued something that is an iteration of this idea that it will actually work really, really well.

And the idea is that instead of focusing on nerdy loners in big cities that want to hang out and weren't invited to parties as your target audience, you focus on conference attendees. conference attendees.

And the idea is that if you've ever been to a conference, whether it's like Tech Weeks and Crypto Conference, whatever it is, you know most of the action is not actually the main conference events. all of the action is the side events. And actually maybe more of the action is in the private dinners and stuff like that. But really the side events are where the action is.

That's where all the cool people are hanging out. They're more interesting. They're in more interesting places. Like I went to one during Tech Week and Tiesto was there. So there are all these side events. But the problem with all the side events is that they aren't centralized in one place.

Usually what happens today is you have some poor soul who aggregates a spreadsheet of all these side events. They're cross-platform. It's Luma. It's Partyful. It's Eventbrite. It's all this stuff. And it's in this really shitty spreadsheet. And you have to go through and click through all the ones that look interesting, RSVP to them. You have all this annoying emails everywhere.

confirming and all this stuff. But I think the really important point to focus on is the spreadsheet. Like anytime you have any industry anywhere in the world where somebody is using a spreadsheet, it should be like, you know, a light bulb going off as like, this is a startup opportunity.

There's countless startups that started as spreadsheets or took processes that were spreadsheets and then converted them into products. And so really the simplest thing is you go and you find these spreadsheets ahead of these conferences or during these conferences.
