Swiss Builder Collective

The Swiss Builders Collective is an association for people between 18 and 30 who build things. Engineers, designers, data scientists, business minds, aspiring founders. Switzerland has plenty of events that bring technical and business people together for one evening. What is missing is a community that keeps them together afterwards. That is what we are building. No campus, no single industry, no faculty. Just the question of what you build.

Very early, and we would rather write that down than hide it. The association is about to be founded. One board seat is filled, six are open. The first Build Night has not happened yet. So we are not looking for members who consume a finished programme. We are looking for people who build it. Whoever joins now shapes what this collective becomes.

Build Night every Thursday on Discord. Two hours, everyone brings their own project, at the end you show what happened. One offline meetup per month in Zurich. Hackathon teams, including shared preparation. Travel funding as soon as we have secured it. Mentorship from people who have already built what you are trying to build. Tech credits through our partners. A Demo Day every quarter. You show what came out of the last three months. Membership is free and stays free.

We grow through referrals. You apply here, an officer reviews it, we get back to you. The criterion is not your CV. It is whether you have built something in the last few months. A project, a product, an event, a company, an association. Something that failed counts too. Tell us in three sentences what that was and what you are working on right now.
