Unfiltered Edinburgh — December

CodeBase's monthly first-Wednesday morning at its Castle Terrace building — a deliberately unstructured hour and a half with two small fixtures: a Community Bell giving anyone 60 seconds to say what they need, and a Spotlight slot of up to five minutes for someone to tell a story properly.

08:30 to 10:00, drop in whenever suits. Registration, welcome and introductions to 08:45, open networking to 09:15, then the Bell. Run by CodeBase, the incubator behind Techscaler, and explicitly open to people with no tech background. Tickets are limited and no price is listed.

Why go: the Community Bell is the useful part — a room of founders and operators hearing a specific ask out loud works better than the same ask posted online. Best for founders who need something concrete, a hire or an intro or a first customer, and who can turn up early.
