The Everything Marketplaces community has quickly grown to 2,000+ marketplace founders, teams, & leaders. With the growth of the community, we've been focused on creating stronger connections with founders in the community. This is one of the reasons why you'll notice that we've started doing meetups in cities like London more regularly, which also helps bring together and build up the local marketplace startup community.

We had our October community meetup in London at Stride VC, where we had a really great turnout of 50+ marketplace founders, teams, & leaders from the community join. We even had our past group chat guest Sameer Singh, along with teams from marketplaces like Airbnb, eBay, and more join. It was one of our smaller meetups, where we all had a chance to casually meet and chat about marketplaces. We shared a recap post with 50+ pictures in the community that you can see here. We wanted to share more about it on our blog to help highlight some of our community members from London.

Here's a few pictures from the meetup:

A big thanks again to Stride VC for hosting our meetup at their London office. A huge thanks to our community leader (and one of our EIRs) Danny Martinez for also organizing & leading the meetup. Lastly, thanks to our community member Gabriel Isserlis for taking the awesome pictures from the evening so we could share this recap post with them.

You can also connect with founders in cities like Los Angeles, New York City, London, & more in our meetups spaces that we have in the community. You can find all of our upcoming meetups on our community calendar.
