We decode tech & market signals together - so you can operate, invest, & decide better.

Every week, we pick one topic - a company or startup everyone's talking about, a technology reshaping an industry, or a shift in how things are being built or bought. Bring your laptop.

Here's how it works:

6 pm - check-in. We kick off at 6.15 pm.

15-20 minutes - decode solo. Quiet research time. Dig into the news, the product, the tech stack, the data. No talking, just thinking.

35-40 minutes - decode together. We open the floor. What did you find? Where do you disagree? What's convincing, what's overhyped, what would change your mind? This is where judgment actually gets built - not from reading alone, but from testing your read against someone else's.

Last few minutes - wrap up.

You'll leave with a sharper read on the topic than you walked in with, & a few new perspectives you hadn't considered. That's the whole point.

This week's topic: Hugging Face - the hack, Microduck & acquisition by Nvidia

Hugging Face's busy months - hacked by an OpenAI model, launching a $399 robot duck, & reportedly being bought by Nvidia for $12.9B. We're decoding what it all means for the future of AI.

Come as you are - operator, investor, builder, or just someone who reads too much tech or business news & wants to discuss with smart people.
