10 things making Startup Alliance special
- Inclusive — Membership is open to all committed entrepreneurs regardless of level of experience or the type of business they operate. Membership is also open to advisors, mentors and investors.
- Affordable — Startup Alliance offers low-cost subscription memberships and a free tier with benefits beyond what others charge for. We never want money to stand in the way of our members working towards their entrepreneurial dreams.
- TrueInsight Member Profiles — In addition to adding our social profiles and mission statement, we rate ourselves on a standard set of 18 startup skills and 12 personal traits. This way, we learn more about the people we interact with and we’re better equipped to make optimal connections with the right people. These profiles are publicly accessible and sharing it throughout your social media is a great way to help people get to know you
- We’re all about collaboration — Our roots carry all the way back to founder peer groups in Seattle starting in 1999. Today, like then, we believe that all committed entrepreneurs have knowledge and ideas to share and help to provide their peers.
- Virtual Offices — More companies all the time are geographically dispersed and forego the traditional physical office. That’s why we provide our members with access to the Global Virtual Office and numerous private virtual offices for real-time co-working and hangouts.
- Multiple levels of privacy — Sometimes you want to keep your discussions private. Sometimes you want to ask a question of the entire community. Startup Alliance offers community wide discussion forums in The Nucleus and private forums in each Private Alliance and Company Workspace. There are also private member-to-member direct messages for when you need to go one-on-one.
- Live Events — Events are organized by members, staff and guest experts and include lectures, AMAs and hangouts on topics of interest to all of our members. These events occur online using your webcam or mobile device.
- Private Alliances build better entrepreneurs — Inspired by Mastermind Groups, a Private Alliance is an online gathering place with collaboration tools where you can work privately with a small group of entrepreneurs to ask questions, get answers, participate in live events, gain deeper insights and broader perspectives. There are topic specific Private Alliances you can join, plus you can create your own and decide who to invite.
- Collaboration Workspaces make companies more effective — This is where business leaders unite the efforts of their company staff, advisors, consultants and investors. This is where they team up to set objectives for the company, discuss and overcome challenges and track their progress towards their ultimate success. Learn more about the tools within each Collaboration Workspace.
- We are accelerating the globalization of entrepreneurship — The Startup Alliance Foundation provides services and technology to incubators, accelerators, governmental and non-governmental economic development entities. Our work helps them improve the entrepreneurial landscape in their communities and augment the skills, knowledge and abilities of the entrepreneurs they support.
