Makers Gonna Make Dundee - Presented by Dundee Founders Collective
Makers Gonna Make — Dundee Launch Edition
(In partnership with Peter Trizuliak, the OG who’s been running monthly MGM sessions at CodeBase Edinburgh — check the mothership at mgmmmmm.com)
What’s this all about?
Turn that “some-day” idea into “done-today.” Makers Gonna Make is a full-day build sprint where you sit with other builders, put your head down, and actually ship something — then high-five about it at the end.
Heads-up: Our launch meetup is the last Saturday of July, but starting August we’ll meet every second Saturday — so the ultra-keen can still hop down to the Edinburgh edition on month-ends.
Who it’s for
Indie hackers, weekend tinkerers, midnight-shift coders, no-coders, vibe-coders — if you’re building something for the sheer joy of it, you belong here.
Who it’s not for
Promoters, agencies, sales or hiring pitches. This space is for makers: turning napkin sketches into real products, helping each other out, and giving honest feedback.
