₿uilder NYC: AI x Bitcoin

​₿uilder is a monthly gathering for people who like to build. Vibecoding has changed who gets to be creators, bringing in designers, PMs, founders, and tinkerers alongside engineers.

​As AI accelerates, meeting in person becomes even more important, letting us learn together, compare notes, demo what we’re building, and give feedback. For bitcoin, shipping and sharing in the open makes it easier to see its strengths, spot the gaps, and build toward what’s next

​This event series launched last year in San Francisco and has since spread to Miami, Austin, Vancouver, and Atlanta. We’d love to add NYC next. A few Spiral folks will lead ₿uilder NYC at PubKey to help seed a community here.

​Here’s what the evening will look like:

​5:30–6:15pm: Mingling

​6:15–7:45pm: Demos + discussion

​Moderated by Steve Lee, Haley Berkoe, and Mat Balez, we’ll showcase a few vibecoded apps that integrate bitcoin payments, share a short talk on bitcoin as agentic money, then open up the floor for an interactive conversation about how bitcoin fits into the broader tech/builder community.

​It’s meant to feel like a ₿uilder jam. Jump in, ask questions, or show up ready to riff. Hope to see you there!
