​​​At Figuring Shit Out, we put on events for Founders who don't normally go to events. You don't need another panel, fireside chat or Q&A. Beyond palatable food & hopefully more than palatable networking, why schlep across town to sit in a cramped room for an hour?

​​All of our speakers have come from fascinating career backgrounds that have caused them to look at the world and think about problems in uniquely insightful ways. Each talk provides a unique lens on the problems facing startups to provide a new toolkit of insights for your own journey.

​As an ATxSG Special, not 1, but 3 FSO speakers will deliver wisdom in a compressed lightning-round format, in ways that open you to Know Thyself, Know Thy Peers, and Know Thy User.

​Aga Gajownik: Embracing Neurodiversity: Lessons From Neurodivergent Founders

​Too often, people think neurodiversity is about adjusting to "fit in." But what if we embraced it as a strength for more adaptive, efficient, and innovative businesses? Neurodivergent founders don’t just “overcome” challenges; they design systems that fit their brains and their businesses. This talk is about rethinking systems on personal, team and organizational level to make businesses sustainable.

​Tara Hirebet: Lean Mean User Research Machine

Tara unpacks the art of scrappy research that you can implement without a UX/UI team. We’ll show you how to approach common product and user needs through tried and tested, quick, actionable, and even fun shortcuts.
