Founders helping Founders (Potential?)

Posted by jwatters3 on Wednesday May 30, 2012 @12:13PM
from the self-post dept.

Are startup founders interested in helping one another validate or bring awareness to their infant-level startups and ideas?

We've release an alpha version of our web app (http://www.qStartupApp.com/) and want to get the your thoughts on our concept.

Right now we simply need more startups to join to get the system going. We've gotten some advice from Dana Severson (Founder/Wahooly) and he thinks it is logical and has growth potential.

Weigh in if you'd like - thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up. Maybe we could get an early copy of your book to aid us in privacy/transparency?

Hey, I'd say this is a brilliant idea; we are already doing this ~ founders network is 1 year old and our tagline is in fact, "founders helping founders" tm. :) Check us out: www.foundersnetwork.com Cheers, Kevin

Nice slogan :)

Just checked out your site and while our methods are different, our goals are the same. We could be an asset to one another!

Correction, the only thing that was the same was the tagline. Nice app. Looks really useful.

Very cool Kevin! I just checked out the site. I think with sites like qstartupapp.com (I am biased I helped work on it :)) and companies Founders Network, people with ideas can get through the feedback loop even faster. As I am sure all of us have learned this journey can be discouraging at times and having some help does work wonders.

Thanks - we've still got some growing to do, but if the founders and startup teams adopt it we could be onto something.
