More Pitches

End of the second week. This week has felt extremely short. I had planned to accomplish a lot by making significant progress in solidifying an idea and a team, but here we are. Admittedly, I've made some headway, but deciding which direction to go remains a challenge.

We kicked off the day with a local version of "pitch your problem." No big surprises there; at this point, we're all well-versed in each other's projects.

Seeking Aid

Following the pitches, I had my first one-on-one session with the Antler team. It was a great opportunity to receive feedback on my potential paths forward. The bottom line: the decision is mine to make. Ah, the wisdom of startup wizards – stating the obvious! All jokes aside, vocalizing my thoughts and weighing the pros and cons was helpful. Something to ponder over during the upcoming weekend!

Since it's Friday, we got to something special for lunch today: authentic Danish smørrebrød! I'm not sure if I've truly earned it yet, but goodness, they're delicious! Smørrebrød

Week Review

After the break, we had this week's townhall – a great way to recap the week and gear up for the next one. From next week on, people will start to break out into groups so there was a lot of information on logistics and some dos and don'ts. The pressure is rising, and I couldn't help but notice a slight hint of panic in others' eyes – reassuring to know I'm not alone in feeling it.

Cheers

The week wrapped up with a Friday bar. While I'd typically consider it a nice way to unwind, this time the conversation revolved around who's teaming up with whom, which ideas are worth pursuing, and so on. I suppose unwinding isn't always an option – at least this weekend won't be dull!
