This meetup now runs together with the AI Founders Meetup, so founders building with AI will be there alongside the manufacturing folks. That is why the name has changed. The venue is unchanged: Urban Vault 477 HSR Layout. Note the time: 11 am to 1 pm on Saturday, 8 August, moved from the earlier 6 pm to 8 pm. If you have already registered, your spot carries over.
A joint gathering of founders building physical products and founders building with AI. The Manufacturing Startups Meetup and the AI Founders Meetup are running together this edition, at Urban Vault 477 in HSR Layout. Building something you can hold brings its own set of problems: sourcing, tooling, unit economics, quality, working capital, and a supply chain that has to hold before you can scale. This edition puts that conversation next to the founders building with AI, so there are more people to think it through with. Expect candid stories on finding the right vendors, moving from prototype to production, managing cash tied up in inventory, selling into distributors, retail, and export, and where AI is genuinely useful across all of it. If you are building a manufacturing or hardware startup, an AI startup, or something that sits across both, this is a gathering worth being part of.
Or just turn up.
