ABOUT
Builders & Backers is a growing community of founders, creators, operators, and investors gathering across multiple cities — currently Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Phoenix, with Miami coming soon.
This is not just another networking mixer. It is a place for the people who actually build things and the people who help make those things real.
What is a Builder?
Builders are the people who turn ideas into reality. They:
Builders are founders, technologists, creators, operators, marketers, and doers. They see gaps and create solutions.
What is a Backer?
Backers are the people who support builders and help them go further. They:
Backers are investors, advisors, executives, community leaders, and champions of new ideas.
Why We Span All Industries
Breakthroughs rarely come from echo chambers. They happen when people from different backgrounds trade ideas.
Our rooms intentionally mix:
Opportunities do not respect industry boundaries. Neither do we. When builders and backers connect across domains, new projects, partnerships, and companies emerge.
Where We Are Going
Builders & Backers is expanding city by city. LA, OC, SD, and PHX all are going strong with Miami coming next. We are growing because the energy is real — people are hungry for authentic rooms where builders and supporters actually meet.
More cities. More collisions. More things built together.
Come as you are. Bring what you are building or backing. Leave with momentum, conversations that matter, and a stronger community around you.
