My latest project Startup Coffee Chats has been live for 18 days now. 8 people have decided to take time out of their days to attend the events so far, for which I am super grateful.
Until attendance picks up, I am cutting down to 2 chats a week.

I created a Discord server with zero channels.
But, for 15 minutes each day, a voice channel appears. You join, get paired, talk for 15 minutes. Then it's all deleted.
No fluff. Just efficient conversations between serious builders
Come join tomorrow: discord.gg/XXpVXSMzx4

I spent a month building a Discord bot that pairs strangers for 1-on-1 voice calls.
This morning, I launched it in a 30,000+ member server.
24 people showed up
50 coffee chats occured.
350 minutes of conversation.
And it almost fell apart.

I’m running a daily experiment: show up at 11am PST, get paired with a random entrepreneur, and trade ideas for 15 minutes.
No agenda. No fluff.
Just real convos between builders.
