Short Recap
One of the strongest events of Amsterdam Tech Week was not really about AI. It was about people building things, sharing mistakes, testing ideas, and helping each other move forward.
Alex joined the DAY42 community as a guest speaker with the talk “ADHD Founder Survival Guide: How to Test Ideas Before They Consume (Y)our Life.” The session focused on a practical founder problem: not the lack of ideas, but choosing which idea deserves the next three years of your life.
The event brought together founders, students, builders, and startup people in a relaxed setting. The most valuable part was not only the talk, but the conversations after it: people sharing projects, distractions, mistakes, and experiments.
- ADHD founder focus and idea overload
- Choosing ideas based on evidence, not obsession
- Testing before committing years of work
- Building sincere European startup communities
- Less startup theatre, more useful experiments
