What’s the Vibe?

A founders’ meetup that feels more like a conversation than a networking event.

We’re bringing together a small, invite-only group of founders, early-stage builders, and creative independents in Bengaluru for a relaxed afternoon where people actually talk, not just exchange LinkedIn profiles.

Expect a cozy space, slow brunch energy, good coffee, and thoughtful prompts that make it easy to connect. This is a room for honest stories, early ideas, half-formed thoughts, and the shared experience of building something from the ground up.

This one’s for people who value depth over noise, curiosity over pitch decks, and real connection over transactional networking.

11:00 AM — Arrive, settle in, coffee in hand. Easy introductions and space to get comfortable.


11:45 PM —   Founder Show & TellShort, 2-minute shares. Talk about what you’re building, thinking about, or quietly obsessed with right now. No slides. No pressure.

01:00 PM —  Idea Cards & Open Conversations Light prompts scattered around the space to spark conversations beyond “what do you do?” Agree, disagree, reflect. Let the room do its thing.


02:00 PM  “What Are You Building This Year?” WallLeave behind a thought, intention, or question for 2026 before you head out.

The event wraps around 2:30 PM, but conversations are welcome to flow naturally till then.

10:30 AM — We meet at the Pickleball court in Harlur. Quick intros, a warm-up round, and then mixed matches that stay fun, not fierce.


12:30 PM — Cooldown, group photo, and a short walk to our matcha spot.


12:45 PM — Matcha time. Slow sipping, light snacks, and conversations that drift into the early afternoon.


The event wraps between 1:30–2:00 PM, but if the vibe flows, feel free to stay longer.

Why Join

A slow afternoon for founders, builders, and honest stories

Because building can feel lonely, even when things are going well.

Because the best insights often come from other people in the middle of it, not ahead of it.

Because sometimes, all you need is a room where you don’t have to explain yourself too much.

About the Circle

We’ve hosted smaller, intimate gatherings before with communities like GrowthX, and each time it’s led to genuine conversations, unexpected connections, and friendships that extend beyond the room.

Spots are limited to keep the space personal and intentional.
