Can I connect to other Startups members? How is member matching handled on Startups?
The Startups Members Matching page is designed to connect startup founders with compatible peers, mentors, and advisors within the Startups community.
When you set up your profile on Startups, you’re usually asked to enter your location (city, state, or country). The matching tool uses that data to:
-
Prioritize matches near you (if relevant)
-
Suggest local peers, potential co-founders, or advisors
-
Enable in-person meetups or region-specific opportunities (like pitch events or workshops)
You may also be able to filter or sort matches by location, so you can:
-
Find nearby founders for coffee or collaboration
-
Identify startup talent or investors in your area
-
Avoid timezone headaches when setting up calls
Location is not a hard requirement — meaning you’ll still get matched with relevant people globally, especially if your startup is remote or internationally oriented.
