I went to a couple startup events in Bay Area and I’m not being a hater but it was the equivalent of “glamping” with people dripped out in designer clothing and taking group photos than people interested in talking about solving any actual problems. Like I was hoping for people who want to leverage AI to do some cool shit or solve some difficult problem in some industry. You know, something actually useful. I wanted to talk about my scheduling software, or discuss some challenges in industry I don’t know shit about. Instead people were talking about their (yet another) copy of a copy of a wellness app.. Granted I’m fresh af to this game but I honestly felt so out of place. Nobody was talking tech and people were talking about their vacations to some exotic places and taking selfies. That’s fine, but nobody really seemed like an engineer or solver minded person. It was honestly bizarre and kind of depressing. I felt like I had better tech and ideation focused discussions in my tiny city that I left to move to Bay Area.
