Edinburgh — Week of 20 Jul 2026

Edinburgh's best-loved monthly founder gathering returns to Shepherd and Wedderburn for an evening of fireside chat and open networking. The format is simple and reliably good: an intimate interview with a successful founder, community updates, and plenty of time to meet other founders, operators, angels and aspiring co-founders across the Scottish ecosystem. A friendly, low-pressure room whether you're deep into building or just startup-curious. Ticket £5 (covers refreshments).

GameDevEd's fortnightly social brings Edinburgh's game developers together at OX184 — students, indies, studio veterans, artists, musicians and anyone working in and around games. A relaxed evening of drinks and conversation: swap what you're building, find collaborators, and plug into one of the UK's strongest regional games clusters. All ages, stages and disciplines welcome. Free to attend.
