Workshops
Education, Not Pitches
Our workshops aren't demo calls. They're genuine skill-building sessions where your technical leaders teach our members something useful.
What works
"Build a Web Scraper for SEC Filings"
(your CTO walks through it live)
"How We Process 10K Earnings Calls Daily"
(behind-the-scenes look)
"From Prompt to Production: Deploying AI Research Tools"
(practical tutorial)
What doesn't
Product demos disguised as workshops
Sales presentations
Anything that feels like a pitch
Our members pay for education. Vendors who teach well earn trust—and that converts better than any ad.
Demo Days
Monthly Showcase for VIP Partners
Once a month, we host a Demo Day for our Pro members. Each VIP Partner gets a 15-minute slot to show what's new.
Format
15 minutes: 10-minute demo + 5-minute Q&A
Audience
Paid Pro members—highly engaged, actively building
Vibe
Casual, conversational, low-pressure
Unlike workshops (which are educational), Demo Days are where you can show your product. Members attend because they want to see what's new in the space.
