Season 1 · Saturdays in Vancouver
YG Build Club
Every Saturday/10 AM to 1 PM/In person at the studio/Entry by donation
A weekly third space for people with ideas they are tired of postponing.
What kills most ideas? Someday. Most people don’t fail because they lack talent. They fail because they try to build alone.
Build Club meets every Saturday at Young Guns Studio. Bring your project, practice, channel, business, or experiment, or the thing you keep talking yourself out of. You’ll build beside ambitious people, share what you’re working on, and leave each week with more clarity, more momentum, and something real to show.

Season 1: one idea, every Saturday
House ruleIdeas come first here, not tech. You don’t need to be building an app, a startup, an AI tool, or a software product to join. Bring the thing you care about, the thing you keep delaying, the thing you want to finally make real.
The space
Build Club is hosted by Young Guns Studio, a Vancouver art and design institute focused on training original thinking and cultivating agency. For 18 years, YG has helped ambitious students turn curiosity into direction, with more than 900 acceptances to top schools and over $10M in scholarships.
Portfolios come out of that work, but the real training is in identity, rigour, and independent thinking. Build Club opens the same room, and the same habits, to anyone with a project worth finishing.
