Oh, man I love how Slack is turning into the IRC of the 21st century. #Startup wants to bridge the gap between founders across the globe, and build a support network at the same time. Join this global startup community and engage with select founders from across the globe. #Startup facilitates discussions, Q&A’s, AMA’s, feedback and braintrusts. #Startup is hosted on Slack, which enables cross platform communication in an elegant way. You can apply on the site to join the #Startup community, optionally you can give a contribution to accelerate the procedure. Love this initiative by @leonpals, @jcvangent & Co!

@bramk @jcvangent Is this just one channel on Slack? What happens if there are a lot of people?

@dh9kim there's a few channels in there to help keep things somewhat organised, including an 'off topic' for all the riff raff

"accelerate the procedure". Looking at this as a product, I'm totally confused by the idea that you "apply" for membership, and you can "fast track" by donating $10. Why not just charge $10 for everyone, period? Or don't charge anything. Or charge it monthly if you want to make it self sustaining. but $10? I found the whole concept so distracting I decided not to sign up.

Startup Curated

@surfy we've experimented with it (and still are). To make sure the peers in the community are committed, we have to screen them some way. We could just ask for an email address and google everyone which would take ages with the hundreds of applications we get, but it also wouldn't show us how committed someone is to contribute. The way it is right now is that it is a little cumbersome to apply, but that drives down the amount of applications (which we check manually). If you're sure you want in though, you can skip that by donating 10,- which we can use to invest in the community someway (time, bloggers, meetups or building new initiatives). Personally I found it a smart way to validate if some people would pay for this (they do) without excluding everyone that doesn't have a credit card. Also, please keep in mind that this is not much more than a very well working MVP. - FYI: about 10% of the unique visitors on hashtagstartup.co actually send in an application, and about 1% of the total amount of unique visitors pays a contribution.

Hi guys, I started @FoundedX together with @mvdheuvel just two months ago and we've got more than 200 members in our Slack channels from over 60 countries. We're focusing on local startup scenes (e.g. Bangladesh, Tunisia, Japan to name a few) which we try to uncover by curating the most innovatieve startups on lists like http://foundedinholland.com/ #Startup looks interesting, love to hear your experience @jcvangent @leonpals And thanks for the shout out @dh9kim :-)

@FoundedX @mvdheuvel @jcvangent @leonpalsAnd @punttim @teamstoryapp @dh9kim Great stuff, I think there is plenty of room for these initiatives and it just shows we are all looking for like minded people. Please send me invites :) #startup is set up by me and the community on it. Behind me and #startup is an independent non-profit supporting founders build more successful startups. We have been doing events and building communities since 2012. #startup can be seen as a global mastermind, we also run small (3-5 member) braintrusts on it.

@jmj @punttim Very interested to see where #startup is heading! @leonpals Quality control is indeed crucial. The extensive motivation is a good idea, we do a similar process @FoundedX. It's a lot of work though... Good luck! :-)

Is it now required to pay $24 to sign up? That's a big change from the comments where it says $10 or Free. "Get direct access with a one time donation of €20 which is about 24,- USD"

@dh9kim not sure, not part of the Slack channels from @FoundedX, but the group is quite diverse. Everyone is helping everyone and even though the group is getting bigger, by having the different channels so people can stay focused on certain topics we have not seen any problems yet with the size of the group.

@dh9kim @FoundedX @jcvangent @bramk Slack is an awesome tool. Although it's primarily designed for small teams and it does take some careful setting up to make sure that it remains functional when the number of members grows, initiatives such as #nomads, #startups and @FoundedX show that it's extremely powerful!
