Five days.
100 podcasts.
20 minutes each.
From 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday, September 14 through Friday, September 18, Studio Bamboo becomes an open mic for the Grand Rapids tech community. We have 180 possible 20-minute windows — and one goal: record 100 official Tech Week 100X Podcast conversations before the week is over.
Tech Week 100X Podcast
The spectacle. The thing people talk about, share, watch, and want to be part of.
ThinkTankby City Innovations
The community convener bringing interesting people together and creating the room for the conversation.
Teevia AIby City Innovations
The intelligence layer finding the people, signals, relationships, and opportunities hiding inside the week.
Bring one good conversation.
We're curating 100 short conversations from across the Grand Rapids tech community. You don't need a title, a deck, or a polished keynote — just something genuinely worth talking about.
If selected, you'll get a private Tech Week 100X Podcast portal to choose any open 20-minute slot, reschedule yourself, and invite up to three additional people to join you.
You run your own slot.
Pick any available 20-minute window, September 14–18 from 7 AM–7 PM.
Invite up to three guests — four people total on the podcast.
Reschedule, release your slot, and update your details from your portal.
No deck. No panel prep. Just a real 20-minute conversation.
100 conversations become one living network.
Every podcast is transcribed live. As people talk, Teevia listens for the simple things that matter: what someone is building, what they need, what they can help with, and who they might be useful to.
Then the network grows in real time. By Friday, Tech Week 100X Podcast won't just be 100 podcasts — it will be a map of people across West Michigan tech who probably should know each other.
You have the conversation.
Twenty minutes. No pitch deck. Talk about what you're working on, what you're seeing, what you need, and where you're headed.
Teevia finds the useful stuff.
The conversation is transcribed and Teevia picks up needs, opportunities, expertise, projects, hiring, partnerships, and other signals.
The network starts connecting itself.
Teevia compares what it heard with previous Tech Week 100X Podcast conversations and surfaces the people who may genuinely be worth meeting.
Who should know whom?
pilot customer
This is the idea: each conversation gives Teevia more context, and Teevia turns that context into specific, explainable introductions — not generic “people you may know.”
Five days. Plenty of room for 100.
Recording runs September 14–18, 2026 • 7:00 AM–7:00 PM. That creates 180 possible 20-minute windows for 100 curated conversations. Selected captains choose and manage their own time.
