Woz × Jobs - developers meet founders, on purpose
Co-founder speed dating · behind the yellow door● RU × RU
Next Steves
Next Steves @ The Yellow Door is speed dating for co-founders (usually tech <> business co-founders) … as Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak found each other & built Apple. Two versions: “light” (fast rounds, many meetings) and “hard” (deep dives, fewer, longer). Next Steves has its own site - the rounds, the dates and the seat booking live there.
At a glance.
Evening · 18:30 Moscow time● Format
1:1
Rotating rounds - every developer meets every founder.
● Versions
2
“Light” - quick rounds · “hard” - deep dives on a real project.
● Goal
1 team
Leave with the person you’ll build with - or a shortlist.
Woz, meet Jobs.
01
The room
Half developers, half founders - we hold the ratio.
02
The rounds
Timed one-on-ones. Show what you’ve built; say what you need.
03
The match
Mutual interest cards - matches get introduced properly the next day.
04
The follow-up
Matched pairs get a trial-project template & a table at the coworking.
§ Why it matters
Great companies are pairs.
Apple, HP, Google - the garage myth is always two people. Finding your other Steve by accident takes years; we compress it into an evening, then back the pairs that stick - Founders Coffee, the Intensive, the fund.
● From an alum
“I came to demo a side project and left with the person who became my CTO.”
