Build night · Vol. 01

The night DFW built together.

Chatelet Dallas · June 13, 2026 · 6 demos · around 120 people

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS

We opened the doors for the first time with one idea:

The hall from the back, every table filled and the Founders Keepers slide up

Put the people quietly building things across DFW in the same room, and see what happens.

What happened was loud. Keyboards, whiteboards, half-finished demos turned into working ones by the end of the night.

Some of you shipped something you’d been sitting on for months. Some of you met the person you’ll build the next thing with.

That’s the whole point. The room, the work, and everyone else in it.

Thank you for pulling up. This is just Vol. 01.
