The kagom\'e metals RbTi$_3$Bi$_5$ and CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$ were synthesized both as polycrystalline powders by heating the elements an argon atmosphere single crystals grown using a self-flux method. compounds crystallize in hexagonal crystal system isotypically to KV$_3$Sb$_5$ (P6/mmm, Z = 1, CsTi3Bi5: 5.7873(1) {\AA}, c 9.2062(1) {\AA}; RbTi3Bi5: 5.773(1) 9.065(1) {\AA}).
