About this event

About the Opportunity

Tired of trying to build the next unicorn startup?

Good. Welcome to Bad Ideas Only, hosted by Hoollow.

This is a satirical, 100% online pitch competition where your only goal is to invent the absolute worst, most over-engineered, and utterly useless tech product possible.

We don't want real solutions; we want chaotic system architectures, terrible business models, and AI-generated mockups for a problem that doesn't exist. No manual coding is required.

Bring your best prompt engineering skills, generate a hilarious pitch deck, and sell your terrible idea to our panel of "investors" with absolute, deadpan confidence.
