Feb 26 · Limited Seats

Builders only.
No audience.

A small group of builders in one room. No panels. No sponsors. No name tags. Just people who are actually shipping product, getting honest feedback, and meeting the few people worth knowing.

A curated builder dinner — 3 hours of real talk, real feedback, real connections.

The Filter

Builders exist everywhere.
They just haven't met yet.

We drew a line. This isn't for everyone — it's for the people who'd make the room better for everyone else.

You belong if

  • You're actively building a product, tool, or company
  • You can talk about what you shipped this month
  • You want honest feedback, not validation
  • You have something to offer the room — advice, intros, experience
  • You're past the "I have an idea" stage

This isn't for you if

  • You're looking for a networking event or pitch night
  • You want to "explore the startup space"
  • You're selling services to founders
  • You can't name what you're building right now
  • You just want another LinkedIn connection

Event 001 — the first of a monthly series

What actually happens.

Three hours. Sixteen people who build things. A room where you can say "my churn is bad" and get real answers instead of platitudes.

The evening
6:00 PM

Doors open

Arrive, grab food and a drink, settle in. No forced icebreakers.

7:00 PM

The round

Everyone introduces themselves — your name, what you're building, and what you actually need right now. 45 seconds each.

7:30 PM

3 hot seats

Three builders volunteer to show what they shipped and get 10 minutes of raw, honest feedback from the room. No pitch decks. Show the product.

8:30 PM

Open floor

Unstructured time. Find the 2-3 people in the room who can actually help you. Have the conversation you can't have at a meetup.

9:30 PM

Wrap

Exchange contacts. Leave with something real.
