The Checkup
Three months in, the room is the content. Five describe-it-yourself live polls take the dojo's pulse — wins, intrigue, rabbit holes, time eaters, and the breakthrough that never happens — then random breakout groups turn the readout into the next arc's agenda.
This month's Agentic VC Dojo is The Checkup — no demos, no presenters. Three sessions of workflows and second brains have gone by; today we find out what actually landed, where everyone's stuck, and what the dojo should do next.
📊 Open the session deck → — the live polls are embedded directly in the slides this time. Open the deck on your own screen, log in, and answer right on the slide.
The Checkup — five questions, in your own words
Recent wins — improved workflows, adoption traction with your team, things that finally clicked.
Recent intrigue — aspirational tools, your "check out soon" list, what you've imagined improving.
Rabbit holes — yak shaving, dead-ends, where the time went. No shame; dead-ends are teaching material.
The time eater — the one thing that eats your time that AI/agents should assist with.
The breakthrough — the thing you never get around to, but an Agentic Associate doing it would change your practice.
Then: Set the Agenda breakouts
Random groups of 4–5, twelve minutes, one shared one-pager. The five-question rail and the group page live at /breakouts/set-the-agenda. Report-backs get ranked live — the top-voted proposals become the August and September sessions.
