What does it really mean to be a builder? Helcim's Founder and CEO shares what he’s been working on firsthand, from early ideas to real code
About this Event

We're excited to co-host with Helcim for a behind-the-scenes look at how, Nic Beique, their Founder & CEO, explores "0 to 1" opportunities: the experiments, the trade-offs, and the ideas that don’t sit on a traditional roadmap.

At Helcim, building is at the core of how they operate. The executive team doesn’t just talk strategy; they roll up their sleeves and create. It’s how Helcim test ideas, unlock new capabilities, and stay ahead.

Expect:

  • A live walkthrough of what Nic is building
  • Real code and demos - no slide decks
  • Insight into how Helcim approach off-roadmap innovation
  • A candid look at how builders think, iterate, and ship

Featuring:

Nic Beique, Founder & CEO at Helcim

Moderated by: Philippe Burns, Co-Founder at Tech Thursday

Bonus: Nic is also looking for a software engineer to work directly with him. If you love building from scratch, moving fast, and getting close to the core of what Helcim is creating, this is a rare opportunity to join him at the ground level.
