Join Founder Communities
Socialize with other founders, find people who share interesting insight, learn from them. 💡 Make the journey more productive and effective. 🤝
►
𝕏: Startup Community -
Startup community on X. Very active, keep an eye on rules (I got dinged for posting something unrelated to startups). 😅
►
Discord: Our Startups -
Active and well curated (by founder) discord with welcoming members. 😊 Regular online events and office hours (mostly law questions).
Note: Be careful when introducing yourself, dont link your product. You can do it later in other channels.
►
Reddit: r/startups -
A great, rather serious, community of founders working on their startups. Remember, no self-promotion.
►
Slack: RevGenius -
Slack group like this is great because there is no anonymity which makes any connections
more real and actionable. Find more about people looking them up in LinkedIn.
►
Founders Network -
A paid membership group for established founders and startups. Have regular pitch practice events, talks and in-person events.
$75/mo, yes I am a member. 💪 Only worth it if you are all-in and need to build connections in the industry or get a professional advice.
►
Slack: Ramen Club -
A curated community of early and pre-revenue founders.
►
Slack: Online Geniuses -
A community of real marketers often happy to help/advice those who just starting. Yes, it is paid but
you are likely get a more relevant professional advice rather than generic slop you get in most of online groups.
Not Worth It
►
WIP.co -
Community of builders, posting their progress. Similar to X. Active but I don't see much benefit over X.
►
CoFoundersLab -
Lots of posts but no engagement.
►
IndieHackers: Newest -
Used to be a great place, not so much lately. 😔 A lot of people post-and-forget. Hard to get likes or replies due to firehose of content.
►
BuildSpace -
Community no longer active.
