Welcome. You’ve found your people.

Our rebels are builders. They’re contrarians. They are doing something different. Breaking the mould. With what they have. And generally doing it in a way that leaves a positive mark on the world.

Sound like you? Then you’re in the right place.

A long history and a longer-lasting legacy

Rebel Meetups have existed for over 10 years. We’ve been home to some of the earliest conversations that turned into partnerships, incredible companies and even a marriage (). We’re grateful for every person that spends their time with us and they tell us they’re grateful too.

Check out some of the brands we’ve found at events before they got big…

“I met some of my best friends because of everything you are doing. I wouldnt be dong what I'm doing now without the support of everyone at Rebel Meetups.”

Dave InglisVideo Agency Owner

“Since I moved to Edinburgh I've hosted Rebel Meetups to connect entrepreneurs in the city and help support them in launching their own businesses. This gave me the confidence to try my own side project too!”

Tom HarriesDesigner & App Founder

“I met someone at at the last meetup, who I am now going to do some marketing for – so thank you for my first client!!”

Clare GoslingMarketing Freelancer

“Yesterday it was unbelievable! For the first time in long time I felt in the right place. Thank you so much to organize the event.”

Danielle Di MarcoEarly-Stage Founder

“At my first event (in Birmingham), I met someone with a data science firm who is going to help me build my MVP. They've been really great so far and offered a lot of support without me yet spending a penny with them!”

Sohaib AhmedB2B Software Founder

“Without an ounce of over exaggeration, what you’ve built has literally been life changing for me - for life long friends, for business and most importantly for support in the ups and downs of this path we’ve all chosen, from people who get it and are in the same boat. Great work and long may it continue”

Jon BaskerCreative Agency Owner
