Our Startups is a community built around mentors and peers who are civic-oriented and interested in building authentic relationships.

The community is a safe, welcoming space for good-natured people who align with our values and mission of collaboration, support, compassion, empathy, respect, authenticity, honesty, and selflessness.

You may notice pushback on common "best practices", advice, and mentalities you come across in other professional communities or across social media, where grifters and the foolish perpetuate toxic mentalities and behaviors designed to manipulate and exploit the overeager, inexperienced, or desperate to achieve their professional dreams and ambitions.

The community is heavily moderated and curated to remove people who are selfish, transactional, disruptive, bigoted, hateful, exploitative, and otherwise harmful to themselves or others.

The quality of support, resources, and relationships found in our community is the main priority and a huge source of pride.

Those who give to the community will receive.
