Ask HN: Recommendations for London founder / startup meetups?

Does anyone have recommendations for in-person founder / startup meetups within London which they have found worthwhile?

More specifically... I'm solo technical founder and currently bootstrapping, not actively looking for a cofounder but looking for like-minded individuals who want to bounce ideas off each other, whether that be technical or non-technical. In my case I have a consumer facing app which is live and I'm in the mystical stage of nailing down PMF.

Are you just looking to meet other folks building or have a specific goal in mind (e.g. finding a cofounder)? I can recommend accordingly

Loosely related, some HN folks in London added themselves to https://meet.hn

I haven't been able to make it in a while, but I really liked Tech Startups In The Pub [0], for a social meetup -- just heed the rule! (no pitches)

Hey! I don’t know of good meet-ups, but I’m in London and would love to chat. Email in bio (happy to reach out to you myself if you put an email in your bio too).

I haven't been to any of the ones in London but I like scrolling through https://lu.ma to look for tech events.
