100 podcasts.
20 minutes each.
5 days.
PodX100 is one week of back-to-back conversations with the people building things in Grand Rapids. Apply to lead one. Bring up to three people with you.
Five days.
100 podcasts.
20 minutes each.
From 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday, September 14 through Friday, September 18, Studio Bamboo becomes an open mic for the Grand Rapids tech community. We have 180 possible 20-minute windows — and one goal: record 100 official PodX100 conversations before the week is over.
PodX100
The spectacle. The thing people talk about, share, watch, and want to be part of.
ThinkTank
The community convener bringing interesting people together and creating the room for the conversation.
Teevia AI
The intelligence layer finding the people, signals, relationships, and opportunities hiding inside the week.
Bring one good conversation.
We're curating 100 short conversations from across the Grand Rapids tech community. You don't need a title, a deck, or a polished keynote — just something genuinely worth talking about.
If selected, you'll get a private PodX100 portal to choose any open 20-minute slot, reschedule yourself, and invite up to three additional people to join you.
You run your own slot.
Pick any available 20-minute window, September 14–18 from 7 AM–7 PM.
Invite up to three guests — four people total on the podcast.
Reschedule, release your slot, and update your details from your portal.
No deck. No panel prep. Just a real 20-minute conversation.
100 conversations become one living network.
Every podcast is transcribed live. As people talk, Teevia listens for the simple things that matter: what someone is building, what they need, what they can help with, and who they might be useful to.
Then the network grows in real time. By Friday, PodX100 won't just be 100 podcasts — it will be a map of people across West Michigan tech who probably should know each other.
You have the conversation.
Twenty minutes. No pitch deck. Talk about what you're working on, what you're seeing, what you need, and where you're headed.
Teevia finds the useful stuff.
The conversation is transcribed and Teevia picks up needs, opportunities, expertise, projects, hiring, partnerships, and other signals.
The network starts connecting itself.
Teevia compares what it heard with previous PodX100 conversations and surfaces the people who may genuinely be worth meeting.
Who should know whom?
This is the idea: each conversation gives Teevia more context, and Teevia turns that context into specific, explainable introductions — not generic “people you may know.”
Who should you meet this week?
Tell Teevia who you are and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll use what we learn from the PodX100 conversations to surface the people most worth meeting — potential customers, partners, referral sources, investors, hires, or simply people you should know.
100 conversations should create more than 100 episodes. They should create introductions that would otherwise never happen.

Give Teevia a little context. We'll do the rest.
Five days. Plenty of room for 100.
Recording runs September 14–18, 2026 • 7:00 AM–7:00 PM. That creates 180 possible 20-minute windows for 100 curated conversations. Selected captains choose and manage their own time.

Teevia turns 100 conversations into a live feed of the launches, hires, needs, changes, and opportunities worth noticing.
