Invent together, locally.

A practical meetup series for people turning ideas into evidence, prototypes, businesses and protectable inventions.

Why meet

A room for people who are building something

Not another pitch night. Every meetup helps inventors make visible progress on one real idea, and leave with a concrete next step.

Bring a real question

Arrive with an idea, a problem, a mechanism or a decision that genuinely needs work.

Work in small circles

Use structured prompts, peer experience and invited specialists to move it forward.

Leave with evidence

Capture assumptions, findings, introductions and the next experiment or research task.

Repeatable format

One working meetup. Ninety useful minutes

The format stays the same every month, so the community can concentrate on the ideas rather than on learning a new event structure.

1

Arrive and connect 15 min
Meet inventors, founders, makers and specialists around the month's shared theme.
2

Idea spotlight 10 min
One inventor frames a real question, without turning it into a pitch.
3

Working circles 40 min
Small groups take it apart using a QUESTION prompt, the available evidence and hard-won practical experience.
4

Show the work 15 min
Share what changed, what remains uncertain and what should happen next.
5

Commit a next step 10 min
Record one action, one useful connection and one follow-up date.

schedule Ninety minutes, five moves, one idea further on

Six-meetup starter cycle

Follow an idea from spark to readiness

You can join any session on its own. Inventors who follow the cycle see how the pieces connect, and no session assumes you attended the last one.

Find the useful problem

Brainstorming, QUESTION and a clear concept statement.

Focus

Read what already exists

State of the art, basic prior art, competition and assumptions.

Observe

Test whether it could work

Technical feasibility, practical constraints and the cheapest experiment.

Evidence

Strengthen the mechanism

Alternatives, failure modes, prototypes and idea refinement.

Refine

Position the opportunity

Users, substitutes, competitive difference and market positioning.

Value

Prepare to protect or launch

Diagrams, disclosure, filing readiness and the next professional handoff.

Execute

Share thoughtfully

Community sessions are not confidential advisory meetings

Bring only what you are comfortable discussing in a room of people. When an invention is sensitive, work with an anonymised example or a higher-level version of the question: the circle can still help you.

invent.sg is not a law firm and the meetups are not a substitute for a patent attorney, a patent agent or any other professional adviser.

Founding community sponsor

Bring the local network. We will bring the inventor programme

We are looking for one established Singapore founder or maker community to launch this with. The partnership can begin with a venue, community access and co-promotion: cash sponsorship is optional.

No sponsor has been secured yet. The founding place is open, and we would rather start with three good meetups than a long calendar.
