Which startup groups and communities for founders are worth joining? ๐Ÿค

Entrepreneurs and startup founders often join various communities and groups to extend their network, find new partners, and even investors. Forums and communities are also great for getting valuable advice, answers to questions, tips, and guidance.

    This is a great list of communities and groups for entrepreneurs and startup founders to explore! Apart from the ones mentioned, here are a few more recommendations:

    -> Revgenius
    -> RevOps Co-op
    -> Hacker news

    1. 2

      I'm hearing a ton of good things about Hacker News as well!

    2. 1

      Thanks for sharing!

    I didn't know about any of the groups you indicated [ except ProductHunt ], so, thank you !

    1. 2

      Glad to help!!!

  3. 2

    I'd recommend checking out the Trends community as well. The membership is pretty valuable for networking and generating new opportunities!

    Perfect timing! Just a few days back, I was scratching my head over this concept, and boy, was it a puzzle. Picture this: a platform where you can put your project out thereโ€”whether it's some cool SaaS thing or another gigโ€”and cherry-pick a template that's got everything covered: contracts, NDAs, the skills you're hunting for, milestones to hit, even test-driving that MVP.

    Now, here's the kicker: other hustlers who are already in the founder game or gearing up to be can jump in. They'll showcase their skills, and you, along with the co-founders, get to pick the cream of the crop.

    Can you believe it? Despite my scavenger hunt, there wasn't a single joint that wrapped up all these goodies in one tidy bow. So, what did I do? I dove right in and cooked up a landing page to test this MVP. I'm pumped to hear your thoughts and have you onboard by throwing in your email! (Edit: too bad I can't put a link here yet.)

    Nice! I find so many communities I join are very quiet or end up spammy so good to find ones that are actually useful

      Hi BenBruss, I too find it very difficult, were you looking for information or fellow starters? Can I ask you if find my other reply useful? Thanks a lot!

    Nice list, can you recommend which one is the best offer for 1:1 Saas Mentoring?

    1. 1

      I think you can give StartupSauce a shot (closed Slack chat, consultations, etc.). It has a paid membership though.

      But SaaStr has many resources and free courses.
