Keep it fresh

Return to this page to update details any time.

  • If we have one or more partners who can help with your need and geographic region, you should get an intro email from Nick for each relevant partner within 24 hours.

    Otherwise Nick will answer your request as soon as we secure a partner who can help you (even if it’s been a while - we won’t forget about you).

  • Whether we’ve sent one or more recommendation emails for partners, or we’ve yet to find one who can help your need and region, your request will remain in our system until you tell us otherwise.

    That said, we feel requests are generally valid up to six months, but we could reach farther back at a partner’s request.

    You can use the form on this page to update your needs or even to opt out altogether.

  • We curate and vet our partners before we recommend them to our community.

    These partners form an ecosystem to help the needs of early-stage startups

    You can see all of them and get more info about each one in our Backstage Marketplace.

  • We do not sell lists of data, we provide introductions to curated partners who can help you with the needs you indicated on the form. We CC our partner on these emails so they can join the conversation once we’ve introduced them.

    Once we’ve sent the introduction, the partner can see the basic company information you provided (website, LinkedIn, funding stage, etc.) in their dashboard. We only include the info you have sent to us as part of your request.

    You may withdraw your request for help at any time by opting out using the form on this page.

  • If you ever indicated you needed help on a form like the one on this page, during event registration, event voting, or when applying to pitch, we are actively trying to help you solve those needs as part of this program.

    You can opt out any time via the form on this page.

  • If you are a serious business with real solutions for founders, sign up to get more info about this paid program to connect with founders seeking what you’re selling.
