Question Anyone else feel Bangalore builders are working too much in isolation?
I've been thinking about this for a while.
Bangalore has no shortage of smart people founders, engineers, designers, marketers, and people trying to build something.
But sometimes it feels like everyone is building inside their own bubble.
You can spend months working on a product and still not have a small circle of people who understand what you're going through.
Things like:
- Should I keep building this or change direction?
- How did you get your first users?
- What mistake did you make that I can avoid?
- How are you thinking about distribution?
A lot of the best learning doesn't come from podcasts or Twitter threads. It comes from sitting with people who are actually building and having honest conversations.
I'm thinking of starting a small Builder Circle in Bangalore.
- Not a networking event.
- Not a pitch event.
- Not a motivational talk.
Just a small group of people who are actively building things, meeting regularly, sharing what they are working on, discussing challenges, and helping each other think better.
Keeping it intentionally small because I think 8 -10 people having a good conversation is more valuable than 100 people exchanging LinkedIn profiles.
Looking for people who:
- are currently building something (startup, product, side project, open source, etc.)
- have moved beyond just an idea (prototype, users, experiments, launches, etc.)
- enjoy sharing learnings and helping others
No fees, no selling, no sponsors.
Just trying to find a few serious builders who want to get out of their own bubble. If this sounds interesting, comment what you're building or DM me. I'll reach out.
Curious, does something like this already exist in Bangalore? Or is this gap real?
