How We Got Here

At Presentation Mode, we spend our days crafting stories and shipping pitch decks.

We sit at the intersection of ambitious founders, fast-moving tech, and ideas racing to market faster than culture can keep up.

Two baseball caps, one blue and one beige, both embroidered with 'hat GPT,' placed on a wooden table. The blue cap has a sticker that reads 'OTTO relaxed fit dad hat.' In the background, there are various objects including a yellow beverage bottle, a clear glass, and some unidentified items.

So, we made a hat. Just a handful to give out at our SF Tech Week panel.

We didn’t expect the response. People (literally) chased us down for them. Then it clicked.

In a world taking itself seriously, our hat did the opposite. It opened conversations, broke the ice, and made people smile.

Text on screen reading: "I rock hatGPT here in Austin all the time and it never fails to elicit a response."

An unplanned pilot turned into a GTM — and WE LIKE HATS was launched.

A limited run of hats for people building the future. And laughing while they do it.


Be an early adopter. Tell a friend. Let’s have fun.
