About this Event
You take home $50,000 a year. Probably more.
Maybe it's $4,200 a month from one US contract. Maybe $8,000 split across two. Maybe a salary at a remote-first company that pays you like you live in Brooklyn — except you live in Gulberg, DHA, or Bahria.
Either way, you already know the problem: there is no room in Lahore built for people like you.
Every tech event in this city is built for founders. Pitch nights, demo days, accelerator showcases — the room is rented out by people raising money. You — the staff designer, the engineer running two laptops, the IC who quietly out-earns the founders pitching on stage — show up as a background character.
Nobody on the panel is talking your language. Nobody on the after-party guest list is solving your actual problems.
AI Mafia-NO Founders Allowed is the room that fixes that.
Chapter 001 is forty operators in Lahore. One table. Three hours. Everyone in the room has cleared the same bar: $50,000+ a year from their own output. Not from a fundraise. Not from a title. From shipping.
We sit down and compare notes on the things nobody teaches you:
- How to run two or three remote contracts at once — and the AI stack that makes it physically possible
- How to co-invest with peers without losing the friendship
- How to keep more of your USD income, legally, while living in PKR
- How to ship your own product on the side without dropping the contracts paying for it
The rule of the room
No founders currently raising. No recruiters. No "I'm exploring AI." If you've cleared $50k/year on your own output — salary, contracts, or both — you're in the conversation. If you haven't yet, follow Nerdii. We run public events you'll like better, and we'll see you at Chapter 005.

What it costs
$50 (≈ PKR 14,000). Non-refundable. Transferable with approval. The price is the filter, not the revenue — anything beyond venue cost rolls into the chapter fund for Ch 002.
How to get in
Apply via the link below. We read every application personally. Forty seats, then we close. If you're in, we send the address 48 hours before. Chapter 002 is already on the calendar — get in this one and you get first refusal on the next.
