Community & DevRel Leaders Meetup vol.2 | Techstars Startup Weekend SF & Catalyst Bay
Invite only. This meetup is strictly for active DevRel and community professionals. All other registrations will be ignored.
Keynote Guest: Frank “Puf” van Puffelen
We’re thrilled to feature Frank “Puf” van Puffelen — longtime DevRel Engineer at Google and now DevRel & Experience Lead at FlutterFlow.
Puf helped grow Firebase from 100,000 to over 4.5 million active developers, built Google’s flagship events program, and has given 120+ in-person talks around the world. At FlutterFlow, he’s continuing to redefine how devtools connect with their communities.
He’ll join us for an honest fireside chat about building for and with developers — what scales, what burns out, and what still works in 2025.
About the Series
After a packed and high-energy inaugural event on August 12, where we featured Katie Wasilenko Miller (ex-Google Cloud, Slack, and Asana), we’re officially kicking off a series of invite-only gatherings designed to spotlight real stories, tested tactics, and honest lessons from the people building communities in the trenches.
This series is produced by Techstars Startup Weekend SF and Catalyst Bay.
