Walking billboard at SF Tech Week
We're wearing plain white tees for all seven days: talks, demo floors, dinners, afterparties. Twelve logo spots are up for live auction — grab one, or steal it from whoever's holding it. Once we hit $700, every held spot prints on a second tee too, free.

Hi, I'm Marco
Born in a small city in Tuscany, I scaled an ecom store to $150k+ in sales at 19. Now I'm exploring UC Berkeley and building all sorts of stuff.
Hi, I'm Pietro
Sports have always defined my life. Now, I'm working to bridge that passion into new worlds, from Bologna to exploring Berkeley and the Bay Area.
Everything you'd ask before putting your logo on a stranger
A printed logo placement on a plain white t-shirt we wear every day of SF Tech Week. Each spot is a fixed physical area on the front or back of the tee. Highest bid at the deadline locks the placement.
Every spot has a current price and a minimum next bid shown as "Grab it" — that's what it costs to open or steal it. You can grab an open spot at that price, or steal a held spot by outbidding whoever currently holds it. When the countdown hits zero, whoever holds each spot keeps it and the print goes to production.
One payment, one auction. Bid on Marco's tee — once we hit $700, whoever's holding each spot gets it printed on Pietro's tee too, at no extra cost. Twice the visibility, same price.
Talks, demo floors, side events, dinners, and afterparties across all seven days of SF Tech Week — presented by a16z.
A logo image (PNG, JPG, or WebP) at bid time. We'll review it before it goes on fabric.
We reserve the right to decline anything unlawful, hateful, or wildly off-brand. If a placement is rejected, you're refunded in full — no questions.
It's very real t-shirts with very real logos. The joke is optional and included at no extra charge.
If you're outbid, Stripe processes your refund automatically and immediately. Depending on your bank, it typically takes 5–10 business days to show up on your statement.
Not on its own — the tee is white. Add a dark outline, a solid backing shape, or otherwise give it contrast so it's visible on fabric. If we can't print it as-submitted, we'll ask you to fix it or refund you in full.
