What’s an improv event doing at tech week?
Most people think improv is about comedy.
But at its core, improv is about something founders, investors, operators, and innovators do every day: navigating uncertainty in real time.
Improv Lab for Builders is an interactive experience that allows you to explore the surprising overlap between improv and building startups, investing, leadership, and human connection.
Through guided interactive exercises, founder-inspired challenges, and games that blend teamwork, writing, brainstorming, sketching, and role-playing, you’ll practice:
- Thinking on the spot
- Communicating with clarity and confidence
- Adapting under pressure
- Listening deeply
- Collaborating with different types of people
- Connecting and networking authentically
This is NOT a stand-up or comedy class - no acting experience is required.
Think of it as a live communication and creativity lab for people building ideas, teams, products, and communities.
Expect:
- Founder energy
- Playful experimentation
- Meaningful conversations
- Startup-inspired challenges
- Real human connection beyond “So what do you do?”
- Lots of laughs
Perfect for:
- Builders
- Founders
- Leaders managers directors
- Startup teams
- Creatives
- Investors
- Tech professionals
- Introverts who want to gain confidence
- Tech curious humans
You’ll gain skills that help with:
- Pitching
- Networking
- Leadership
- Fundraising
- Innovation
This experience is designed to get you out of passive networking mode and into real interaction.
Because in business, just like improv, you don’t always know what’s coming next.
