Bristol ยท the South West

Are you a high roller in Bristol?

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. Bristol is the creative and tech capital of the South West. Aerospace, tech and a creative sector that punches far above the city's size, with a strong independent business culture.

Apply for membership

Applications are reviewed by hand. Not everyone is accepted.

What most high rollers in Bristol 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 Bristol, in person. Around Clifton, Harbourside, Stokes Croft and the rooms you would expect: Casamia, Paco Tapas, The Ivy Clifton Brasserie.

Membership in Bristol 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.
