Birmingham ยท the West Midlands

Are you a high roller in Birmingham?

Plenty of rooms will take your money. Very few filter who else is in them, which is the only thing that makes a room worth joining.

The Operator is a private, vetted membership for people building real things. Birmingham is the largest business economy outside the capital. Heavy on professional services, manufacturing and property, with HS2 money reshaping what the city centre is worth.

Apply for membership

Applications are reviewed by hand. Not everyone is accepted.

What most high rollers in Birmingham are dealing with

  • Networks that sell access rather than curate it
  • Rooms full of people selling to each other rather than building
  • Paying for proximity to a name rather than to peers

What membership gives you

  • Vetted membership, so everyone in the room cleared the same bar you did
  • Small and deliberately capped rather than scaled for volume
  • Operators with real businesses, not a mailing list with a price on it

Members meet online and, in Birmingham, in person. Around Colmore Row, the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth and the rooms you would expect: Opheem, Purnell's, The Ivy Temple Row.

Membership in Birmingham is by application

Tell us what you are building and what you want from the room. The vetting is what keeps it worth being in.
