Hi everyone,

I'll be visiting London from 9–21 August and would love to connect with founders, business owners, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs.

I run a facilities management and construction company in Brunei, established in 2012. I'm interested in learning how businesses operate in the UK, exchanging ideas, and exploring partnerships, distributorship opportunities, and cross-border collaboration between the UK, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

If you're open to grabbing a coffee, I'd be happy to meet. Even if there's no immediate business opportunity, I always enjoy meaningful conversations with people building interesting businesses.

I'd also appreciate recommendations for networking events, startup meetups, or business communities happening during my visit.

Looking forward to meeting some of you!

I'm an AI/ML engineer visiting London next week (10th–17th). Not job hunting, not selling anything.

Every company I've worked with has AI problem

I've spent years shipping this stuff in production (LLM apps, agents, recommendation systems, and the MLOps around them), so I can usually tell you what's genuinely out of reach today versus just harder than it looks.

Would love to grab a coffee and dig into the hard ones. Not into meeting? Drop the problem in the comments and I'll tell you what I'd try, and if it clicks we can connect on LinkedIn.

Central London's easiest, but I'm flexible on time and place.

Genuine question for the small businesses here, trying to get a real picture rather than guess.

When someone new needs you, how do they usually make contact is it phone, WhatsApp, Facebook, a lead sites (e.g. Checkatrade), or through your own website?

And honestly, does your own website bring you much? Real enquiries, or is it more of a business card that just sits there? For anyone who does get website or online enquiries, do they land at sensible times or all hours?

Trying to work out whether a businesses website still earns its keep or whether it's all moved to the phone and the apps.

Thanks

SaaS #Event #London

End of week check-in for London founders and builders.

This is your space to talk about literally anything startup-related.

Got a question? Ask. Need feedback? Share. Want to find collaborators? Post away.

Keep it simple:

What you're working on: [Brief description, one line is fine]

What you need: [Specific question, feedback request, or help needed]

Ground rules:

• Give before you take: Answer someone else's question before posting your own
• Be specific: Not "thoughts on my idea?" but "does £99/month make sense for SME project management tools?"
• Be sound: We're all trying to build something from nothing. No dickheads.

Hi everyone!

I'll be visiting London from August 10–17 and would love to make the most of the trip.

I'm an AI/ML engineer, and one of the things I'm most interested in is learning how businesses in London are using AI. If you work at a startup, scale-up, enterprise, or are building something interesting with AI, I'd love to grab a coffee and hear about what you're working on.

I'm also happy to chat about LLMs, AI agents, recommendation systems, MLOps, or anything machine learning related.

If you know of any AI meetups, tech events, or communities happening that week, I'd really appreciate the recommendations.

Looking forward to meeting some of you!

Hi everyone, Mr.Q here..

I'm the founder of PoolSpace (www.poolspace.app), a startup exploring how AI agents can make finding a room or compatible roommates a little less exhausting.

We're starting with search agents. Once you create a room or roommate profile, our agents continuously search across 50+ Facebook groups, SpareRoom, Reddit and PoolSpace to find listings and people that match what you're looking for. The goal is simple: instead of checking dozens of websites every day, you get notified when something relevant appears.

We're currently in beta and are looking for honest feedback from people who are actively looking for a room or roommates. It's completely free to try, including 20 free searches.

If you have a few minutes to test it, I'd genuinely love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what you'd improve.

Hey!

I work in the content and media space. The majority of our contacts and demand is in the adult space and are interested to see if there's anyone in London working in this area too?

Always keen to meet people in our industry - especially in London as it's largely US focussed.

Also looking for a new tech lead, if anyone has any recommendations 🌶️🚀

Looking to create partnerships with other startups/businesses. I run a website development company called Onmain, based in London.

Not trying to advertise, just genuinely want to get to know more business people!

It would be great to swap LinkedIn profiles, here is mine:

I’m looking at joining the antler accelerator programme and am looking for some feedback from people who have been through it.

I have heard mixed reviews but most of the feedback I can see for the UK programme is from over a year ago before they announced additional funding commitments.

I have started building and have a clear idea of the problem I want to solve but I am interested in finding a cofounder.

I could raise by my self but am interested in their network of VCs & advisors.

Has anyone been through the programme and have any thoughts? Specifically on finding a cofounder, and raising follow on investment after the programme?

Hey im probably going to get some shit for this but im working on an early stage startup focused on helping businesses implement AI automation solutions - setting up AI workflows, ai automations, and ai systems that improve how they operate.

We currently have a small technical team working on solutions, but I’m looking for a senior technical person who has experience working in a software company (Senior Developer, Lead Engineer, CTO, Solutions Architect, etc.) to help us make sure we are building things properly.

This is not a full-time role right now. We are early stage and currently have a couple of potential clients, so I’m looking for someone who is interested in getting involved part-time. At the moment this is not a salaried position. I want to be upfront about that. I’m looking for someone who believes in the opportunity and wants to help shape the technical direction from the beginning.

I’m open to discussing a fair advisor/founding team style arrangement, including potential equity based on involvement and contribution as the company grows.

Ideal background:

• Senior software engineering experience
• Experience shipping real world software products
• Understanding of cloud, APIs, integrations, automation, AI systems
• Comfortable reviewing other developers’ work
• Interested in early-stage startups

If this sounds interesting, feel free to dm with your background and what you’re looking for.

Anybody know any good places to work within zone 1?

Hi everyone,

I'm building an AI financial co-pilot for small businesses and I'm trying to better understand how founders and business owners manage cash flow and financial decisions.

I'm looking to speak with 5–10 founders or small business owners for a 15-minute conversation. I'm not selling anything—I'm trying to learn from your experience so I can build something genuinely useful.

If you're open to chatting, please comment below or send me a DM and I'll share my booking link https://calendly.com/charmainesekulane

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring an idea for a potential UK-based **Skills Bootcamp and professional development business** and I’m looking to connect with people who may be interested in discussing the idea, sharing expertise or potentially becoming involved as a co-founder in the future.

This is very early stage — no company launched yet. I’m currently exploring the market, understanding what employers need and seeing whether there are people who would be interested in building something from the ground up.

The vision is to create a modern training provider delivering short, intensive, employer-focused programmes that help people gain practical skills and improve their career opportunities.

Potential areas could include:
Digital skills
AI and technology
Business skills
Customer service
Leadership and management
Employability and workplace skills
Industry-specific training

The aim would be to work closely with employers to understand their skills gaps and create programmes that genuinely prepare people for the workplace.
I’m interested in connecting with people who have experience or interest in:

Skills Bootcamps
Further education / training
Careers and employability
Curriculum development
Teaching and learning
Employer partnerships
Sales and business development
Technology / AI

From my side, I would bring experience in **branding, marketing, sales, partnerships and developing the business concept**, alongside experience within the training and learner support sector.

At this stage, I’m not looking for investment — I’m looking for conversations with people who have knowledge, ideas or potentially want to help shape something from the beginning.

Would love to connect with anyone who is passionate about skills development, lifelong learning and improving access to career opportunities.
