Startup Social: Sheffield (August Meetup)

Founders, builders, entrepreneurs, side project tinkerers, and anyone curious about starting something. If you’re building (or want to build) and want to meet others doing the same, this is for you.

No. Come along whether you’re running a business, working on an idea, or just thinking about taking the leap.

Yes, it’s free. Just grab a drink at the bar when you arrive.

Yes, food will be available to buy at the bar if you fancy grabbing something while you chat.

No. There are no slides or formal pitches required. Just turn up, say hi, and join the conversation. If you do want to pitch your business in front of the group, feel free to come prepared for a short, informal pitch.

Absolutely. Bring a co-founder, teammate, or friend who might want to meet others in Sheffield’s startup scene.

It’s informal. We meet, grab a drink, and chat. If you want, you can share what you’re working on, ask for advice, or just listen in.

Not for this first event. Startup Social is about creating space for real conversations, but in future, we may add short, practical founder stories.

No. Drop in when you can and leave when you need to.

No problem. We’ll be running these monthly, so keep an eye out for the next one.

Yes. I’ll be doing everything I can to get investors and experienced entrepreneurs in the room so you can meet people who have been there, done it, and can help you on your journey.

Startup Social is organised by Gary, who previously ran the Sheffield Startup Meetup, with the aim of keeping Sheffield’s founder community connected and thriving.
