SUMMARY:You can build and launch software
DESCRIPTION:Portland Design Thinkers is excited to announce our next event with George DeCarlo: You can build and launch software\n\nYou don’t need to be a developer to ship real software anymore. If you’ve ever had an idea for an app or tool and assumed it was out of reach\, this session is for you.\n\nGeorge will show you how to use the AI tools you already have to create fully functional\, production-ready software that’s live on the internet. He’ll walk through the whole process end to end\, from first idea to a working URL\, and build an app live that you can follow along with.\n\nNo prep needed. Just come curious and see how much closer you are to launching than you think.\n\nAbout our speaker\nGeorge has been hosting websites for millions of people since the early days of the web. His latest business is Hatchable\, built from the ground up to make it easy to build anything with your existing AI and make it live.\nTags: portland design thinkers\, ux\, ux design\, ai software development\, ai tools\, product design\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482736

SUMMARY:Velocity to Market: Market Strategy to Help Founders Succeed in the Chaos of the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is being told to move faster: ship the product\, leverage AI\, raise the round\, make the brand\, post the content\, find product-market fit…pronto! How can it ever be possible to do all the things\, just right with less money\, fewer people\, and a screaming free-for-all to get to the market amidst the chaos and noise of the landscape?\n\nOur collective work with hundreds of startups has shown us that\, in the chaos of this moment\, fast is not always the same as forward.\n\nVelocity to Market brings together four deeply experienced Portland practitioners who work alongside founders and innovation teams every day: Kate Carter (Saint Friend)\, Nick Carter (Saint Friend)\, Ali Maaxa (ProductTheory)\, and Jeremy Solly (Defyner).\n\nWe will share candid stories from the field: what they are seeing work\, what is quietly failing\, where founders are lured into wasting precious time and capital\, and how the smartest teams are building momentum without skipping the work that makes a business viable.\n\nThis is not a generic “AI will change everything” panel\, nor a dog-and-pony show of startup clichés. It is an honest conversation about how companies move from an interesting capability to:\n\nA product people need\nA story people understand\nA brand people trust\nA go-to-market motion that can survive contact with the real world\nWe are on a mission to helping founders avoid misdirection that comes from using outdated frameworks or half-baked new tools.\n\nTogether\, we’ll explore:\n\nHow founders can distinguish urgency from actual progress\nWhy product-market fit\, customer understanding\, and positioning cannot be automated away\nWhere AI genuinely helps teams work faster—and where it creates costly false confidence\nHow brand\, narrative\, and trust become strategic advantages in an increasingly crowded market\nWhat investors\, advisors\, and founders can do to build companies that are not merely launchable\, but durable\nHow to “game” the moment without being gamed by its hype cycles\, pressure\, and endless stream of supposedly essential tools\nCome for sharp stories\, useful provocations\, practical frameworks\, and a more grounded way to think about building in 2026.\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482754
