What we host
Crecision is a room, not a fund. These are the rooms we run. Hover a format to see what happens inside.
Apply to join →Pitch Night
Founders on stage
Pitch Night
Founders get ten minutes and a room of builders who ask the questions that matter. No theater, no applause track. You leave with sharper thinking and better allies.
Apply to pitch →Builder Meetups
Show what you shipped
Builder Meetups
Bring the prototype, the repo, or the thing that almost works. Demos beat decks. The conversation starts where the slides would have ended.
Get notified →Founder Dinners
Small table, off the record
Founder Dinners
A dozen people, one long table, honest conversation. What gets said at dinner stays at dinner.
Get notified →Hard Tech Salons
Atoms, energy, bio, infrastructure
Hard Tech Salons
Evenings for people working on problems that take a decade and a lot of nerve. Physics doesn't care about your growth hacks.
Get notified →Office Hours
Unblock the next move
Office Hours
Operators who have done it sit down with founders who are doing it. Hiring, pricing, the first ten customers — one problem per session.
Get notified →Contrarian Nights
Defend an unpopular truth
Contrarian Nights
Each speaker argues for something most smart people disagree with. Persuade the room or get taken apart politely.
Get notified →Teardowns
Postmortems, out loud
Teardowns
Founders walk through what broke and why. The fastest way to learn is from the companies that didn't make it.
Get notified →Walk & Talks
Trails, not conference rooms
Walk & Talks
The Upper Valley is our home field. Some of the best founder conversations happen two miles up a trail.
Get notified →Recruiting Nights
Find your first ten
Recruiting Nights
Builders looking for co-founders and early teammates meet people who want to join something hard.
Get notified →On the Road
Pop-ups in builder cities
On the Road
We take the format to wherever serious builders gather. Cities are announced to the list first.
Get notified →Upcoming events
Dates announced soon
Upcoming events
The calendar is being built now. Get on the list and you'll hear about the next pitch night and meetup before anyone else.
Get notified →No dates yet. The first rooms are being set now — the list hears first.
Get notified →We look for builders working on what others call too hard, too early, or too strange. We believe founders should lead, aim high, and be surrounded by peers who build — not spectators who watch.

Ryan Small
Founder
Ryan started Crecision to put serious builders in the same room, often. He is based in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire and was previously a CEO in Austin, Texas. (Placeholder portrait.)
Hard things first
Principle 01
The important problems are rarely the comfortable ones. We make room for energy, hardware, bio, infrastructure, and anything else people call too difficult.
Contrarian by default
Principle 02
Consensus is already priced in. Bring the idea you have to defend, not the one everyone nods at.
Founders lead
Principle 03
The people building the company understand it best. Advice here is offered, never imposed.
Small rooms
Principle 04
We keep rooms small so every conversation is real. Fewer badges, more substance.
Builders, not tourists
Principle 05
The community is for people making things: founders, engineers, operators. If you are building, you belong.
Speed is a habit
Principle 06
Ship before you feel ready. Show the demo, not the deck. Momentum compounds.
Anywhere is a hub
Principle 07
Great companies get built far from the usual zip codes. We start in the Upper Valley and go where builders are.
Ambition, unhedged
Principle 08
Aim at the thing that would matter if it worked. Small goals are the riskiest bet of all.

We're a community first: pitch nights, meetups, and dinners for people building hard, important things.

Membership is by application. Tell us what you're building and why it matters.
