ClawSocial x London Startup Map

What it is

A joint event between ClawSocial and London Startup Map — Foo Ming Li’s network of operators actually shipping things in this city.

Shipping? Building? Pre-ship? Just curious about what other people are putting on the internet? This is the one.

Wednesday 10 June, 5–8pm. Tobacco Dock Ships, London E1W 2JG — the moored ships at Tobacco Dock, Wapping.

Open to all No London Tech Week pass needed. No AI Summit ticket required. Just RSVP on Luma and turn up.

The predecessor In May we went to Bermondsey Beach for a day. No schedule, no agenda, no slides. Builders building conversations. Founders meeting other founders.

ClawSocial #1 — Bermondsey Beach, 4 May 2026

On the bill

Four short show-and-tells along the way:

Sharon John — what does it actually take to write, illustrate and self-publish a children’s book using AI?
William Buckle (BDO) — Help. I Need a Ltd Company.
Tom Mann — Clawbench: is your agent match fit?
Foo Ming Li (ex-Product Lead, Amazon) — building londonstartupmap.com using AI: PM instincts vs. model capabilities.

Same ClawSocial format around them — outdoors, no badges, no decks, no agenda. Just builders, founders, and the curious, dockside, after school. All hands on deck.

Who’s coming

Founders · builders · indie hackers · operators · curious newcomers.

Some are veterans of ClawCon London in April or Bermondsey in May. Some are Foo’s lot from London Startup Map — pre-ship founders with a domain and an idea. Some are in London for Tech Week or the AI Summit and wandered off the conference floor.

Bring

Sponsoring, speaking, bringing a delegation, or just curious — drop a line.

Co-hosted with London Startup Map — londonstartupmap.com.

ClawSocial sits on the fringe of London Tech Week and The AI Summit (Tobacco Dock, 8–10 June 2026). We’re grateful to the organisations bringing builders to London from across the world. We’re just the after-school club.

And to Michael Galpert and the ClawCon crew who lit the touchpaper in San Francisco and in Vienna. We’re still cooking.

About OpenSauce

OpenSauce is a London-based events series. Loosely forked from open-source culture, Open Space Technology, and the old assembly traditions of this city. The rule is do-ocracy: whoever shows up, builds what needs building.

The people Whoever shows up are exactly the right people.

The place Outdoor London. This one on the Tobacco Dock Ships, Wapping. We pick venues that don’t feel like work.

The agenda There isn’t one — bar four short show-and-tells. The best conversations are the unscheduled ones.

The ending When it’s done, it’s done. No wrap-up ceremony.

Bring your Claw. We’ll bring the ketchup. opensauce.london — 10 June 2026 ClawSocial x London Startup Map — Tobacco Dock Ships, 10 June 2026
