Tech Events at Ramen Space, London

with Elston Baretto (, Tiiny Host) · Charlie Ward (, Ramen Space)

Ramen Space in Dalston and Tiiny Host run an evening of founder stories and a live AI competition. It opens with a fireside with Elston Baretto on bootstrapping Tiiny Host to $1m ARR, finding customers and what he'd do differently today. Then One Shot: four to eight volunteers get the same challenge, laptop, AI tool and model, and two minutes to write a single prompt, with no retries. Results are revealed live and published with Tiiny Host; Charlie Ward and Elston judge. First prize is £500 plus a year of Tiiny Host Max and a Ramen Space membership. 6pm to 9pm, free. Competing is optional and places are confirmed separately. Why go: real revenue lessons first, then watching strangers get judged on one prompt. Best for indie founders and AI tinkerers.

Bilt.me and AI After 5 run an evening of building mobile apps with AI from a plain-language prompt, sponsored by VEED. No coding needed, bring a laptop. Approval-gated.

A one-day build: make a creative harness that turns a brief into content worth paying attention to. The focus is how AI develops ideas, makes creative choices and improves its own work. Starting briefs are provided; the approach is yours. Run by 36 Labs, a seed-stage AI startup working on how models reason about creative decisions. There's £2,500 in prizes, and strong builders can get fast-tracked into interviews with the team. Food and drink provided; bring a laptop and charger. Free, approval required. Saturday 28 November, 09:00 to 18:00, at Ramen Space in Dalston. Why go: a hackathon with a sharper brief than most, set by a team that's hiring. Good for engineers who care about taste as much as evals.

Bilt.me hosts Build Night by Bilt.me - Vibe Coding for Mobile Apps in London at Ramen Space.
