Stories & Build - 2nd Tech edition
Last Meet to Build event of the year
An evening of honest stories, product demos & new connections
We’re back with the second edition of Stories & Build, a new Meet to Build format created to bring together early-stage builders, creatives, and entrepreneurs to share what they’re working on right now.
No polished keynotes. No investor pitches.
Just real stories from the messy middle — the small wins, honest struggles, and creative sparks that define what it means to build something of your own.
✨ This is the only Meet to Build event that’s open to the public — and completely free to attend.
It’s your chance to get a taste of the community and experience the kind of energy and connection our gatherings are built around.
🎙️ Speaker list
Mike Bettes — Founder of Navar, an AI-powered consulting platform built for work that needs more than a simple chat. Since 2023 he has led an AI-first product team and advised global organisations on AI strategy.
Firly Maulana — Founder of Moonlight, a community-powered safety app helping women and underrepresented groups navigate cities through shared knowledge, safer routes and everyday guidance.
Deniz Mert Yıldız — Founder of FoundersBrain, the smart second brain for founders and operators. With experience across GTM, expansion and early-stage building, he’s helping entrepreneurs capture, organise and rediscover insights from the web through AI-powered summaries, tagging and resurfacing.

🔗 About Meet to Build
Meet to Build is a growing community helping people move from wanting to build something — a side project, product, or company — to actually doing it.
Through curated gatherings and meaningful connections, we create space for honest stories, real momentum, and lasting relationships.
We believe the future of building starts with connection, not isolation.
