[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — and we'd love for you to join us. Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing. Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together. Think of it like your weekly gym session — except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months. Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people. Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

Welcome to the Wednesday Night Shift.

At this meetup, we are going to break down how to reverse engineer direct-to-seller marketing using our SCALE framework so you can approach your marketing with more clarity, confidence, and consistency. We will cover how to think through inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels, how to choose the right channel for your goals, how to run the numbers before you spend, how to allocate the right budget, how to launch the campaign correctly, and how to evaluate and track performance so you can make better decisions moving forward. **SCALE Framework:** **S –** Select the right channel **C –** Calculate the numbers **A –** Allocate the budget **L –** Launch the campaign **E –** Evaluate and track it **What We’ll Cover** * How to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing * How to stop guessing and start reverse engineering your marketing * The difference between inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels * How to choose the right channel for your business and market * How to calculate the numbers before launching * How to allocate a budget based on goals, not emotion * How to launch and track a campaign the right way * How to create more consistent and predictable deal flow **Date:** May 28, 2026 (Thursday) **Time:** 6 - 8pm EST **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company, 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Save Your Seat** → https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp **FREE DRINKS & FOOD PROVIDED!** **About Columbus Investors Club** The Columbus Investors Club is a local meetup for real estate investors, aspiring investors, contractors, vendors, lenders, realtors, and other professionals who want to grow in the Columbus market.
