Your startup's journey

From your first idea to funding, with founders beside you at every step.

  1. Validate your idea

    Not built yet? Post your idea in the circle and get honest feedback from founders before you build anything.

  2. Get it built

    Need a technical co-founder or a team? Post what you need, and the circle helps you find the right people.

  3. Test it with real people

    Founders try what you built, poke holes in it and tell you the truth. Improve it until it is ready for the market.

  4. List it on Discover

    Give it a page of its own on Discover, where every founder can find it, follow it and try it.

  5. Win your first customers

    Your first customers can come from the circle itself: founders who need what you built. Then reach more people as you grow.

  6. Pitch for funding

    Pitch your startup at our state and national events, where selected startups can get funding.

Facing a problem as a founder?

Browse Discover for a product that already solves it, or post your problem in the circle. Founders who have been there will suggest a fix, and some may even build it for you.

Contribution score

Help others build. It shows.

Every product you test, every piece of honest feedback and every session you host adds to your contribution score. It sits on your profile, so the circle can see who shows up for others.

  • Test a founder's product
  • Give feedback that makes it better
  • Host a meetup or an online session
