about this room
Silicon Mingle's last Manchester get-together of 2026, at Lock 91. The group started in Newcastle in 2023 and meets on the last Wednesday of the month.
There's no programme: no panels, no pitches, no presentations, just networking for founders, investors, entrepreneurs and tech people, with the crowd moving on to The Blues Kitchen afterwards. The Manchester crew includes David Levine, founder of Manchester Angels, and angel investor and exited founder Vladimir Mulhem. Free to register, 18:00 to 21:00.
it's an easy, low-pressure way to meet the Manchester startup and angel crowd in one room before the year ends. Best for founders after investor introductions and for people new to the scene.
