Bristol · Season One Sept — Dec 2026

Two events a month.
People building something.

Bristol's community for young entrepreneurs and side hustlers, 18–35. Build and grow together. Experiences over traditional networking.

01 Why this exists

Building something
takes everything.

Somewhere in it you stop prioritising yourself, stop doing the things you actually enjoy, and lose sight of why you started.

Solitude isn't strength — and there's nobody in your day-to-day who really gets that part of it.

02 What's out there

So you try
the obvious things.

Networking
Has the people. Not the experience.
A run club
Has the experience. Not the people.
Online communities
Cost you nothing. Give you nothing back.
Grinding alone
Isn't the answer. It's the problem.
03 What it actually is

So we built
Meridian.

Bristol's community for young entrepreneurs and side hustlers, 18–35. Two events a month, a WhatsApp group running in between.

01

Two events a month

Things you'd want to do anyway — sauna and cold water, runs, padel, dinners, evenings around one good question. Real experiences, with people building something too.

02

The group in between

A WhatsApp group that runs between events. So it isn't two nights a month and silence.

03

Pay as you go

You pay for the events you come to. That's it.

04 Why it's different

Connection through shared experiences,
alongside shared pursuits.

That's the whole design.

It happens twice a month, every month. One night is a nice night. Turning up again and again is how you actually end up with people alongside you — making the journey easier, and the destination quicker.

05 Who it's for

If you're building
something, this is for you.

Full-time business. Side hustle.

The only thing we check is whether there's a thing you're building.

Building something

What most people here have in common isn't a revenue number — it's that they've chosen a path most people around them haven't.

01
We come back to you personally, usually within a day.
02
If it's a fit, you're in the WhatsApp group — that's where dates, venues and tickets go first.

Come to an event. We'll introduce you to everyone there.

You pay for the events you come to, and that's it.
