to
survive Resilient Tech.
Bitspiration Stack is two days for people who are truly trying to build something. Tech founders and CTOs who, while dreaming of unicorns, know that before they ever see one in the stable, there will be sweat, tears, sleepless nights, and the constant fight to make the product work.

What’s in the Stack
Startup is not a fairytale.
It’s a B-class horror: plans crash in the middle of the night, the demo breaks right before the investor pitch, and the cash runs out faster than the coffee in the office.
There’s no school that teaches what it means to be a tech founder. There’s only practice.
Bitspiration Stack is not another conference about “the innovations of the future.” Not one of those where “experts” explain how to build a company with Excel. It’s more like a support group for people who thought it was a good idea to build a deep-tech startup.
Most of the speakers have been through the same struggles: fighting against time, technology, people management, or endless product pivots. They felt lonely and often made mistakes.
As Don Valentine used to say: “I went to Fairchild Semiconductor Business School.”
Come and hear stories about how a CTO was soldering a cable an hour before the demo. Or how a founder calculated that the money would only last for three months – and somehow made it through.
No back-patting, no marketing fluff. Just a small group of verified participants who know that a startup is both a school of life and a school of survival.
Why bother showing up?
Building a startup is more like surviving in the jungle – without a map or a compass – than living a unicorn fairytale. You’ve got a few tools, a lot of faith, and zero guarantees you’ll make it out alive.
At Bitspiration Stack you’ll meet tech founders and CTOs who have lived through their own horror/fairytale/adventure (cross out what doesn’t apply – though all may be true). They share what worked, what failed, and how not to lose your mind along the way. Though that last part is the hardest.
Two days of honest conversations, no-BS panels, and connections that last.
