About this event
Startup Social is Sheffield’s monthly meetup for founders, builders and entrepreneurs who want to connect with others on the same path.
Starting something is exciting, but it can be lonely.This is your chance to meet others who get it.
No pitching. No panels. No forced networking. Just real conversations over a drink with people who are building too.
Whether you’re running a startup, testing an idea, working on a side project, or just curious about what it takes, you’re welcome.
I’ll also be doing everything I can to get investors and experienced entrepreneurs in the room, so you can meet people who have been there and can help you on your journey.
What to expect:
- A warm, relaxed space to meet others
- Share what you’re working on (if you want)
- Swap stories and learn from each other
- Find collaborators, supporters, and new friends
Where: Hideaway Bar, 61 Eyre Ln, Sheffield S1 3GF
Free to attend. Just RSVP so we know how many to expect.
Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. Bring a friend. The more the merrier.
We’re building Sheffield’s startup community, one meetup at a time.
See you there.
