One-Shot w/ Elston Baretto (Tiiny Host)

An evening at Ramen Space combining a fireside chat with Tiiny Host founder Elston Baretto and a live one-prompt AI competition with prizes.

Ramen Space hosts a public evening for founders and builders in two parts. First, a fireside chat with Elston Baretto, founder of Tiiny Host, covering bootstrapping the business to $1m ARR, finding customers and lessons learned, with audience questions. Then the One Shot competition: 4–8 volunteers get the same challenge, laptop, AI tool and model and just two minutes to write a single prompt with no retries; results are revealed live, published with Tiiny Host and judged by Charlie Ward and Elston. Prizes include £500 cash plus a year of Tiiny Host Max and Ramen Space coworking membership for the winner. Attendance is free but registration is subject to host approval, and competing is optional.
