You've read the articles. You've watched the videos. You might have even paid for a course or two.
And you're still stuck.
Not because you're not smart enough. Not because your idea isn't good enough.
Because figuring out how to raise funding, land customers, find the right co-founder, recruitadvisors, build your product, and hire a team — simultaneously, with no roadmap and no one in your corner — is genuinely hard.
Most founders do it alone. Most founders make the same expensive, avoidable mistakes.
Real talk: that doesn't have to be you.
Startups.com, and especially Wil, is where I go when I need real founder-level perspective. It's the kind of insight only someone who's been through everything can give. Around here, we call him the startup god.
Andrew Gazdecki
Founder/CEO, Acquire.com
We didn't build Startups.com from the sidelines. Across our founding team: 6 acquired companies. 3 companies built from scratch. 6 exits. We know where founders get stuck — because we've been stuck there too.

This is the core of the platform — and there's nothing else like it.
1
Fundraising? Customer acquisition? Finding a co-founder? Building your first product? Post a Request — one specific goal you're trying to achieve right now.
2
Our system matches your goal to advisors who've solved this exact problem, investors who fund companies like yours, and tools built to close the gap. No cold outreach. No guessing. A plan.
3
Show up to daily workshops. Use the tools built for founders at your stage. Connect with members who've done what you're trying to do. This isn't a network you join and never use.
Building a startup is incredibly lonely. Startups.com changed that for me. The community gave me a place to be understood, get real help, and support others. It's become a group I trust deeply - people who would drop anything to help.

Post a specific goal — funding, customers, a co-founder, an advisor, a hire — and get matched to the people and resources that solve it. This is where the work actually gets done.
Find co-founders, talent, peers, and mentors. Directly contact up to 10 members per day. The right person for what you're building is already on this platform.
Unlimited access to all Guided Courses and Video Series. Built by operators who've done the thing they're teaching — not academics who've studied it.
Access to daily workshops and community events. A global network of founders who are building right now. Not a ghost town.
Over $25,000 in partner perks on the tools founders actually use. Plus unlimited access to Bizplan.com, Fundable.com, and Launchrock.com — included in your membership.
The worst thing you can do as a Founder is go it alone. This is the missing piece of the puzzle - a tribe that you can grow with.
Dan Martell
Founder, SaaS Academy
Fair. Most are. This one has 100,000 active founders per year because the Requests feature gives people a reason to show up. You're not joining to browse. You're joining to get something done.
No catch. We make money when you stay. You stay when you get results. The model works because the product works. We've been doing this for 15 years — it's not a side project.
Most members spend 2-3 hours a week. Post a Request when you're stuck. Show up to the workshops relevant to where you are. Use the investor tools when you're raising. Use the member matching when you need a co-founder or a hire.
Cancel anytime. No contracts. No hassle. If you don't get value, you leave. We'd rather earn your membership every month than lock you in.
No equity. No application. No wait list. Start today.
