Tech Events at The Jointworks, Birmingham

A morning for founders in their first one to three years, at The Jointworks in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. The organiser's framing is peer support rather than pitch-and-swap: no sales pitches, no corporate scripts, just founders comparing notes on what is working and what is not. Charles Snape speaks on setting up business finances from day one - the decisions that are cheap to make early and expensive to unpick later. Around that, open conversation over breakfast-style refreshments. Free, 10:00 to 12:30, in person, with free parking at the venue. Run by A Burden Shared. Why go: one of the few Birmingham rooms aimed squarely at founders who are past the idea and into the grind, where the point is an honest conversation rather than lead generation. Best for first-time founders one to three years in.

with Monica Chumber (Employability station lead, Good Growth) · Luke Davies (Code Clinic lead, Good Growth)

A hands-on evening in the Jewellery Quarter built around drop-in stations rather than a lecture. Monica Chumber takes CVs, portfolios, interview prep and career direction; Luke Davies runs a code clinic for bugs, tricky problems, side projects and pair-debugging. Short talks sit in the middle, with speakers still to be confirmed at the time of listing. Good Growth engineers are in the room throughout. Doors and drop-in stations from 18:00, welcome at 18:30, talks from 18:35, wrap-up and final chats 19:30, close 20:00. At The Jointworks on Frederick Street. Free, with limited capacity, and the stations need no booking. The venue is accessible and the organisers ask attendees to flag specific needs when registering. Why go: you can turn up with a real problem, a broken build or a weak portfolio, and leave with it addressed, which almost no meetup offers. Best for developers, designers, students and career-changers in the West Midlands.

Early-stage founders in their first 1–3 years come together at The Jointworks in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter for honest dialogue and genuine connections.
