Welcome to Tech Startups, Ventures & Operators — great to have you with us.

You’ve joined a practitioner-led community bringing together:

• startup founders at all stages
• operators across product, engineering, growth and operations
• investors across VC, angel and private equity
• plus partners and supporters from the wider ecosystem

Our focus is on real-world startup experience — the wins, the challenges, the trade-offs and the lessons learned along the way.

We run:

• Bi-monthly in-person meetups and founder/operator sessions in London
• Occasional online events for our wider community
• Collaboration with related communities across the Community Stack ecosystem

Our events explore:

• founder journeys and “what I’d do differently”
• scaling teams, product, engineering and operations
• fundraising, venture relationships and investor perspectives
• growth, go-to-market and commercial execution
• resilience, failure, recovery — and the realities of startup life

As a member, you’ll automatically receive our weekly community newsletter with upcoming events, speaking opportunities, ecosystem news and reflections from across the network.

You can also explore and join other communities across the Community Stack Ecosystem, including Cloud, Data & AI, Platform Engineering, DevOps, Leadership and more.

If you’d like to:

• speak or share your story
• host a meetup or roundtable
• sponsor or collaborate with us

Just drop a message via Meetup or contact Ethan Sumner on LinkedIn. We’d love to hear from you.

This community follows the Community Stack Code of Conduct, helping us maintain a respectful, inclusive and supportive environment for founders, operators and investors alike.

Welcome aboard and we look forward to seeing you at an event soon.
