Creative Reset

Startup Week is full of incredible sessions about building businesses, raising capital, product strategy, marketing, and growth. This session is intentionally different. Creative Reset is a hands on art activity designed to help founders, builders, technologists, and community members reconnect with creativity without needing to produce a pitch, solve a problem, or optimize an outcome. Through a simple, playful art exercise, participants will have space to loosen up, experiment, and tap into the kind of imagination that often gets buried under deadlines, strategy, and execution. Additional idea is that this is not a session but an installation - meaning it is up all week at one of the venues and attendees can walk by and spend a few minutes to complete the artwork/task. This interpretation would be less focused but allow more participation, quicker, and everyone has time to stop by and create something. Also creates a useful artifact to share out after.
