Jarrod Stisher bet on himself, and it paid off. No tech background, just curiosity and a willingness to show up. Now he's Marketing & Communications Manager for TechBirmingham (@tech.bham), helping run @sloss.tech , one of the Southeast's premier tech conferences.

We talk building a career outside the traditional tech path, staying relevant in the age of AI, and what grounds him outside of work soccer, fatherhood, and a good book. ⚽📚.

Episode 2 out NOW! 🤩

The saying goes, some opportunities are hard to come find. Well, here’s some good news, THIS OPPORTUNITY is not hard to find at all. Want to learn why you need to be in the room? Swipe and see 🔥.

Just being in the room, is not enough. You want to ensure you’re in the right room at the right time.

That’s what the Summer Mixer is all about. Being in a room full of Founders, Creatives, and Innovators shows the support and backing necessary in these entrepreneurial streets💪🏾.

At POLARIS, we are all about community, and when you combine two innovative communities together, there’s no limits on what can happen🔥🔥.

Real talk, we’re tired of all the fluff talk, and we know y’all are as well. When you’re networking you want to be as real and honest as possible so people feel the authentic vibes.👏🏾

Come in the room and let your hair down (but not too much), the pressure is not on, but the room will be. 🔥

We OUTSIDE with it! We are ready for the in person opportunities and all that comes with it. Collaboration, Partnership and Community Engagement is what we strive towards, always. ⚡️

The details on the flyer. This is the Summer Mixer you DO NOT want to miss. Beat us there 😎. taken in POLARIS by @healnothidepod

Every city has talent. Not every city has a room where that talent actually finds each other.

Birmingham’s founders, creatives, and builders are out here doing the work, often alone, often wondering who else is building too. That’s the gap this night closes. Not another networking event. A room where a conversation turns into a collaboration, and a bold idea finally meets the person who can move it forward.

@tech.bham × Polaris BHM present the Summer Mixer ☀️
📅 Wed, July 22 | 5:30 PM
📍 Polaris BHM — 5521 1st Ave S, Birmingham
🍽️ Light bites + beverages while supplies last

Your next opportunity might already be in this city — it’s just in a room you haven’t walked into yet. RSVP on Partiful. Pull up. 🔗 in bio

What. A. Week. ⚡️

Sloss.tech '26 brought the energy, and we had the best time teaming up with Sloss.tech and TechBirmingham to keep the momentum going all week long at The Depot.

From treats around the building to packed conversations, founder pitches, panels, and nonstop networking, the entire week was a reminder of just how strong Birmingham’s startup community really is.

Our Tech on Tap x Startup Showcase was a major highlight, with founders showcasing throughout the building, big ideas on display, and people from across the city, the Southeast, and beyond coming together under one roof.
We’re especially proud of the Innovation Depot founders who pitched in competitions, spoke on panels, showed off what they’re building, and represented this community so well.

This is what makes Sloss.tech so special: it brings people together, shines a spotlight on the work being done here, and gives founders a chance to connect, celebrate, and keep building.

Huge thanks to everyone who came through, showed up, shared ideas, and made the week such a blast. Birmingham’s startup energy is real, and it was on full display. 🚀 taken in Innovation Depot by @healnothidepod

Admin Wednesday is heading to Sloss Tech and we couldn’t be more excited! 👩🏽‍💻😆

From the pitch competition to the after-hours networking activations, we can’t wait to soak it all in — including hearing from Everett Taylor (Co-Founder of Kickstarter) and Jimmy Wales (Founder of Wikipedia).

Hope to see you there!

Every meaningful change begins with an idea. 💡

An idea shared in a conversation. An idea sparked by a challenge. An idea that grows when people come together with a common purpose.

Today, that journey continues as we kicked off Ideas to Impact Week 2026.

Throughout the week, changemakers, leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community partners will gather to share insights, build connections, and explore new ways to create lasting impact. Together, we'll celebrate what's possible when ideas are transformed into action.

We're excited to continue this week of learning, collaboration, and inspiration…and we're grateful to have you along for the journey.
