Wakaranai Labs
Wakaranai Labs is for founders, developers, and creatives working in and around technology.
People in the middle of something
not just starting, not finished.
It's a chance to step out of your normal flow for a few days and take a proper look at what you're working on.
Not just the work itself
but the direction behind it.
What it is
Small groups, usually 6 to 10 people, coming together for a few days.
There is no fixed program.
But there is a shared context.
Everyone here is building something.
The days are simple:
- time to work
- time outside
- shared meals
- long conversations
Some of it is quiet.
Some of it goes deep.
Some labs can include light structure, whether that is yoga, creating art, shared times in the kitchen or around the barbecue.
What tends to happen
You get a bit of distance from your day to day.
Things that felt stuck start to move.
Questions you have been avoiding come up.
Conversations happen that would not normally happen.
No one is there to tell you what to do.
But the environment tends to bring things into focus.
Who it is for
- founders
- developers
- designers
- small teams
People who are:
- moving quickly
- deep in their work
- starting to feel the need to step back for a moment
What you get
- accommodation
- shared meals
- a small group of people in a similar position
- time and space to think, work, and talk
What it is not
- not a workshop
- not a conference
- not a typical offsite
There is no schedule you have to follow.
If you are thinking about it
If you are in the middle of something and feel like stepping out of it for a few days might help, that is usually enough.
