What is the "Goal" Feature on Startups.com?

What does the "Goal" Feature on Startups.com do? What will I get from the "Goal" feature? How does the goal feature work?

On Startups.com, the "Goal" feature serves as a personalized intake tool that allows founders to outline their current business goal, enabling the platform to create a tailored roadmap to help them move forward.

When you create a goal, the system uses your specific objective to connect you with the right resources, experts, and tools within the Startups.com ecosystem.

How it Works

Define Your Goal: You start by selecting what you want to accomplish. Common categories include:

  • Raising Funding

  • Getting Customers

  • Building a Product (MVP)

  • Finding a Co-founder 

  • Finding an Advisor
  • Hiring Talent
 
Personalized Gameplan:  Based on the goal you select, the platform creates a personalized, step-by-step game plan to help guide you toward achieving it. 
 For example, if your goal is seeking funding, the system will:
  • Identify potential investor matches (often pulling from a database of 1,000+ matches).
  • Prompt you to upload your pitch deck for expert analysis.
  • Schedule 1:1 reviews with pitch deck specialists.
  • Provide templates for investor outreach emails. 

Direct Connections
Your goal also serves as a signal to the Startups.com team and its AI-powered matching system, helping connect you with relevant mentors, advisors, and fellow founders who have faced and solved similar challenges.


In Short

The "Goal" feature is the starting point for their accelerator service. Instead of browsing through thousands of articles and videos manually, you tell the platform exactly what you need help with, and it filters their "Master Classes," "Expert Answers," and "Investor Matching" tools into a guided path specifically for that goal.
