🌟 Special Open House: Our February 2026 Meetup is open to the public! Hosted by GOAB Beach Club Members. 🌟
GOAB Beach Club Open House: Building Software in the Age of AI
Usually members-only... but not this February. For the first time, we are opening our doors to the public!
📅 Wednesday, February 11, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM
📍 Online (Zoom)
🔓 You’re Invited Inside the Club
The GOAB Beach Club is usually a closed gathering—an exclusive space where founders, builders, geeks, and investors meet to support each other’s growth.
But this month, we’re doing something different.
We are hosting a special Open House, inviting the wider startup community to experience the club firsthand. Whether you are a developer, a founder, or just curious about what happens inside the GOAB Beach Club, this is your chance to connect with our members and learn from one of our own.
🎤 The Session: Building in the Age of AI
Software development is changing fast. To help us navigate this shift, we are handing the mic to one of our "Super Members," Prince John Santillan.
Prince is a Full Stack Developer by day, and an aspiring startup founder and community builder by night. In 2025, he was usually the first member to sign up for every single GOAB activity, using this community to help navigate his own founder journey.
In this live session, Prince will cover:
The New Stack: A live demo of what software development looks like in 2026.
AI Workflows: Practical examples of how he uses AI tools to speed up the build process.
The Founder's Path: How he balances a day job while building his own startup.
