What is BSTC?

BSTC (Bali Startup & Tech Community) is the largest founder-led tech community in Bali and Southeast Asia. Founded in October 2023, we've grown to 2,500+ members across MeetUp and WhatsApp.

Who's in the community?

Our members include ex-FAANG engineers, funded startup founders (pre-seed to Series C), VCs, angel investors, and senior operators. 40+ nationalities represented. The common thread: they're all building something real.

What events do you run?

• Core Networking Night — Monthly, 40-80 people, free. Relaxed networking with optional open mic.
• Founder Roundtable — Monthly, max 20 people, $20K+ MRR founders only. Confidential, deep-dive discussion.
• Builder Session — Monthly, 30-60 people. Tactical talks and workshops.
• How I Build with AI — Our flagship series. Live AI builds by real practitioners.

What makes BSTC different?

Three rules that define everything:

1. Signal > Noise — We focus on substance. No hype, no fluff.
2. No Hard Selling — Build relationships, not transactions. Pitching is not welcome.
3. Builders First — We prioritise people who are actually building things.

How do I join?

1. Join our WhatsApp community for updates

It's that simple. See you in the room.
