Tech Events by Founders Coffee Club

An hour of unstructured coffee networking for founders and small business owners in the New Town. No pitches or speeches.

Founders Coffee Club is a monthly coffee morning for founders at Jamaica Yard, 3 Jamaica St, EH3. No speeches, no presentations, no selling. You turn up, get introduced to someone on arrival and talk. Founders only. Registration goes through Luma and needs host approval. The ticket also covers coworking at Jamaica Yard for the rest of the day, so you can stay and work after the 10:00 start. Why go: a low-pressure hour to meet other Edinburgh founders without a pitch in the way. Best for early-stage founders who work alone and want peers, not for anyone hunting investors or customers.

A founders-only coffee meetup in Bristol that includes a coworking day pass. Wednesday 25 November, 10:00 to 11:00. No talks, no pitches, no selling. The hosts greet you at the door and introduce you to someone straight away. Tickets are £15 and registration is host-approved, so apply early. First-timers are welcome. It's at Clockwise, the Generator Building on Counterslip. Organised by Founders Coffee Club, registration on Luma. Why go: an easy way to meet other Bristol founders and get a few hours of work done in the same trip. Best for solo and early-stage founders who find big networking events draining. If you want speakers or a stage, pick something else this week.

The last-Thursday founders coffee and coworking morning at Clockwise Linley House. Founders only, host approval required, and the GBP 17.50 ticket includes a coworking day pass. No speeches, presentations or pitches by design.

The Christmas edition of the Founders Coffee Club's monthly Edinburgh meet at Jamaica Yard on Jamaica Street — the same format as the regular second-Thursday session, billed as no speeches, no presentations and no selling, with coworking for the day included. First-time attendees are introduced to someone on arrival. 15 pounds, and registration is subject to host approval. The start time is listed as TBC on the Luma page.

Founders-only networking: no speeches, no presentations, no sales pitches. Your ticket includes a coworking day pass so you can keep working afterwards, and first-timers get introduced to another member to start conversations. 11:00 to 12:00, 15 GBP, host approval required, exact address shared after registration. Founders Coffee Club runs these across the UK, usually on the third Thursday; this one is a Wednesday. Why go: an easy way to meet other Bristol founders without a pitch format in the way. Best for solo and early-stage founders who want peers, not panels.

A monthly founders' coffee morning at Clockwise on Dickinson Street, run on the last Thursday. The format is deliberately bare: no speeches, no presentations, no selling. You turn up, get a coffee, and the hosts introduce you to someone rather than leaving you to work the room. The ticket is 17.50 pounds and includes a coworking day pass, so most people stay and work afterwards. Attendance is founders only and subject to host approval, which keeps the recruiters and agencies out. Why go: Manchester has plenty of evening networking and very little in the morning that is actually restricted to founders. The day pass makes it worth blocking out rather than dropping into for an hour. Best for early-stage founders who want conversation without a programme.
