Membership | Notion

Three ways to be involved with Builders Club. Same network, different levels of access.

<aside> 📰

Free

No cost

Newsletter only. Monthly update on what's happening in the space, what's being built, what's coming up.

No Slack. No events. No space access.

A lot of people start here and apply when the time is right.

Not in Waterloo?

You can still participate remotely. Same membership, same price, same access to Slack, Wednesdays, Builder Circles, city dinners, and Tech Week. The only thing you skip is walking into the building.
