WHAT THIS CATEGORY IS FOR:
This is where we actually help each other. Not just talk about it - actually make connections, introductions, and collaborations happen.
Post here when you're:
โ
Looking for a cofounder - "Need technical cofounder in SF, building climate tech."
โ
Seeking investor intros - "Raising pre-seed for AI SaaS, looking for warm intros to angels."
โ
Want to collaborate - "Building in fintech, who else is? Let's share notes."
โ
Need specific help - "Looking for someone who's done SEO for B2B SaaS."
โ
Offering value - "Happy to intro founders to design talent I know."
โ
Making yourself available - "Angel investor in edtech, DM me if you're building."

WHAT MAKES A GOOD POST HERE:
BAD: "Looking for cofounders."
GOOD: "Looking for a technical cofounder in NYC, building an AI tool for real estate agents. I'm biz side, 5 years in PropTech. DM me if interested or know someone."
The difference?
- Specific (what you need, where you are)
- Context (what you're building, your background)
- Clear CTA (how to respond)
---
THE RULES:
1. Be specific - Vague requests get vague responses
2. Add context - Help us help you
3. Give before you ask - Share your LinkedIn, offer value
4. Follow through - If someone helps you, update the thread
5. No spam - This isn't for cold pitching your agency
---
LET'S START:
Drop your LinkedIn below. Tell us:
- What you're building or investing in
- What you're looking for (cofounders, investors, collaborators, advice)
- How can people help you
I'll connect with everyone who posts and make intros where I can.
Let's actually build networks, not just talk about networking.
