FOUNDING COHORT · NEW YORK CITY · 2026

Here’s to
the ones who
build

A club for the deeply curious. Not the people who talk about AI. The ones who can’t stop building with it.

NEW YORK · SPONSORS
THE TRUTH NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

The cycle every
builder knows.

01
Excitement
You’ve seen what’s possible. You can’t sleep. You open the laptop again at midnight.
02
Frustration
The tool hallucinates. The agent loops. The prototype breaks at 1am and you’ve been at it for six hours.
03
Breakthrough
You try a different approach. Suddenly it works — better than you imagined it could.
04
Repeat
You’ve levelled up. And now you can’t go back.

If you recognise this cycle, if you’ve lived it over and over and kept coming back, you’re one of us.

Adam
“If you have found yourself on a weekend, hours into a session, losing track of time, being inspired by the future ahead of us — this is for you.”
— ADAM / FOUNDER & SPONSOR · LONDON
Haresh
“Every breakthrough I’ve had with AI came right after the moment I wanted to give up. The frustration is the price of admission — and the people who pay it are the ones worth learning from.”
— HARESH / CO-FOUNDER · LONDON
Craig
“The best ideas I’ve seen didn’t come from the smartest person in the room. They came from the most curious one — the one who went home and actually built it.”
— CRAIG / CO-FOUNDER · LONDON
WHY THIS EXISTS

Not another
networking group.

There are plenty of conferences. No shortage of webinars. LinkedIn is full of people who “leverage AI.”

This isn’t that.

This is a room. A small one. People who have gone well beyond asking questions and started building answers. People who have actually shipped a prototype, a tool, an agent, and want to be around others doing the same.

Monthly sessions to share what we’re building. A group chat that’s always on for the problems that can’t wait. Quarterly deep-dives with someone from outside who’s pushing the edge.

No panels. No presentations. No name badges. Just a small group, a table, and what they built last weekend.

A MANIFESTO FOR BUILDERS

Here’s to the ones who didn’t wait for permission.
Who taught themselves at midnight.
Who gave up their weekends not to tinker,
but to build things that actually work.

Who see a problem and reach for a keyboard, not a committee.
Who don’t stop at a prototype or a clever demo.
They push until it’s something they can put in front of
family, friends, a room of strangers — and have it earn its place.

Not built once and forgotten, but made to keep delivering.
Real value, to real people, again and again.

This club is for them.

END / MANIFESTO
MEMBERSHIP

Two paths.
One standard.

The Business Builder

You didn’t wait for IT to build it. You built it yourself. You’ve stood up a prototype, wired a database, put it live. You know the difference between an idea and a working demo. You’ve crossed from “wouldn’t it be great if” to “here, let me show you.”

$ tracks/technical-builder

The Technical Builder

You live closer to the code: product, engineering, data. Building with AI is what you do. The question is whether you see past the technology. Can you name the business problem? Can you explain why it matters commercially? Have you built something that’s genuinely good, not just functional?

WHAT WE ALL SHARE
  • We ship URLs, not screenshots of chat
  • We build agents and workflows, not just prompts
  • We compose multiple tools, not one chatbot
  • We manage state — databases, hosting, version control
  • We build rapid prototypes, not slide decks
  • We’ve solved real problems, not hypothetical ones
  • We version and iterate
  • We have a GitHub repo we’d be happy to share
HOW IT WORKS

Small by design.

Monthly sessions

Show what you’ve built, hear what others are working on.

// 03
04/yr
Quarterly deep-dives

A dinner or offsite with an external builder pushing the edge of what’s possible.

Global chapters

Born in London, now building in New York City. More cities to follow.
