  • Event lasts 2 hours

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

When: Thursday 31 July, 6-8pm

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.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

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.

Do I need to have a startup already?

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

Is it really free?

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

Will there be food?

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

Do I need to prepare anything?

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.

Can I bring a friend?

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

What actually happens on the night?

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.

Will there be talks or speakers?

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

Do I need to stay for the whole time?

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

What should I do if I can’t make it?

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

Will there be investors in the room?

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.

Who’s behind this?

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.
