Seattle Community Guide

A list of Seattle communities that promote connection and learning.

  • Startups & VC

    AI House

    Founder pitches, VC panels, fireside chats. Seattle's startup scene in one room.
    Great for: Understanding what's getting built and funded while connecting with the Seattle startup ecosystem.
    What to expect: Technical founders, early-stage investors and networking.
  • Incubator & Coworking

    SURF Incubator

    Public coworking Wednesdays at DocuSign Tower.
    Great for: Show up and work on your own projects, startups or talk to people building their own. Pitch early ideas and get community feedback.
    What to expect: Early-stage founders, solo builders, and encouragement.
    SURF is an incubator, not an accelerator. Incubators give you resources and community at your own pace. Accelerators (YC, Techstars) take equity, run tight cohorts, and end in a demo day.
  • Community & Social

    Out and About Walks

    Walking around Seattle. Good mix of people.

  • Cybersecurity

    Red Team Association

    Offensive security. Members teach what they actually work on.
    Great for: Hands-on offensive security with people who do it professionally. Each session is run by a member on something they're currently working in.
