A little about us

01 / Why we’re hereOpen to every degree

A place to find the people you want to build with.

You might have a product and need help reaching customers, or understand a problem and be looking for someone who can help you solve it.

Startup Society brings students from different degrees together to work through those questions. Our founding group has experience building businesses while studying, and we want to make that experience useful through honest conversations, practical feedback and relevant introductions.

You don’t need a company or previous startup experience to get involved. We want this to be somewhere you can find collaborators, make friends and keep working on an idea as it develops.

We come from different degrees and have plenty to learn from each other.

02 / What we’re putting togetherBeyond the first conversation

We’ll work through the early stages of starting a company together.

Find people whose skills complement your own.

We’re planning cofounder matching sessions and informal gatherings where you can meet people beyond your degree, discuss what you want to build and work out whether you would enjoy building it together.

Cofounder conversations

Get your product in front of people who might use it.

Product demonstrations and user-testing evenings will give members a chance to show their work, hear where people get stuck and learn whether their idea solves a problem someone actually cares about.

Demos & user testing

Have people to turn to as the work continues.

Working sessions and smaller conversations with experienced founders will give members somewhere to ask questions, share what they’re learning and get help with the decisions that come after the first version launches.
