Builders IRL Birmingham Launch
People building interesting things, meeting in real life.
We're starting Builders IRL in Birmingham with a simple idea: bring interesting people into the same room and see what happens.
Founders, operators, creators, investors and curious people building companies, products, careers, communities and ideas.
No panels.
No pitches.
No forced networking.
Just good people, drinks and interesting conversations.
Come along to meet someone new, hear what they're building, share what you're working on and hopefully leave with a few new connections that continue beyond the evening.
Who is this for?
You might be:
Building a company
Working at a startup
Launching a product
Investing in founders
Building something on the side
Thinking about your next idea
Working on something interesting that doesn't fit neatly into a category
Simply curious about what other people are building
You don't need to be a founder, have a startup or have everything figured out.
If you're building something, thinking about building something, or interested in people who are, you're welcome.
What to expect
Meet people.
A room full of founders, builders, operators, creators, investors and curious minds.
Have conversations.
Talk about what you're building, what you're learning, what you're struggling with and what you're excited about.
Make connections.
The goal isn't to collect another 50 LinkedIn connections. It's to meet a few people you actually want to stay in touch with.
Have a good time.
This is meant to feel more like getting a group of interesting people together for a drink than attending another formal networking event.
Why Builders IRL?
We spend a huge amount of time building relationships online.
Slack. LinkedIn. WhatsApp. Zoom. Email.
But some of the best relationships still start with a conversation across a table.
Builders IRL exists to create more of those moments.
Birmingham is our first chapter.
Come build with us.
No agenda. No pitches. Just builders, IRL.
