- FORMAT: A structured networking mixer featuring a Builder Bingo icebreaker, lightning stories, and small-group discussions.
Skip the awkward introductions and endless pitches of traditional networking. Builders Campfire is an intimate gathering at San Francisco's Homebrew Club designed for those who are actually shipping products. Whether you are a seasoned founder or an engineer building in public, this event focuses on real conversations and the raw stories behind the things we create.
The evening kicks off with the Builder Bingo Challenge, a curated icebreaker designed to connect you with peers who have scaled products, contributed to open source, or navigated startup failures. From there, the night evolves into lightning stories and campfire conversations, where attendees share their hardest technical problems and most valuable lessons learned from shipping.
Beyond the structured activities, the event provides a high-signal environment to find future co-founders, collaborators, and teammates. Join a room full of technical minds and creative operators to discuss building products users love and the challenges of the modern startup landscape.
