The startups community has been amazing, it was everything I needed as a founder early in my career. Imagine having access to ask your hardest business questions to a group of founders who have already done it. Yeah that’s startups.com boiled down, worth every dollar

I’ve been looking for a community of founders for maybe a year, but all the Slack or Discord online startup communities I joined—despite having thousands of users—were basically dead.
I also tried a few other platforms where you can find a startup mentor, which ended up costing me a sh*t ton of money because I needed more than just advice—I needed actual mentorship.
Then I discovered the Startup Therapy podcast and literally started listening every time I had a spare second. The advice and quality of the content Will and Ryan share is just incredible. Y Combinator is obviously great too, but they only drop new episodes like once a month.
So, when I finally joined startups.com community, I seriously did not expect the level of support I got. We have daily calls with the startup advisor team—everything from weekly goal-setting and executive coaching to industry-specific groups and pitch practice sessions, and it’s all super hands-on.
Our main conversations don’t happen over Slack. Honestly, I think huge online communities don’t work that well because, first, everyone’s tired of endless messaging, and second, I personally think it’s easier to process and retain info when you’re having a real conversation. But the best part of everything is the sense of community—knowing you’re not alone in your struggles because other people have been there or are going through the same thing. And you just keep learning because when you listen to the advisors’ answers, you end up picking up a ton along the way. It is unique. And definitely a needle in a haystack.

I’m incredibly grateful for all the expert advice and support I’ve received from Startups.com. Their team truly goes above and beyond to provide invaluable insights and actionable guidance that have been transformative for my business journey.

One of my favorite parts of being with Startups.com is the incredible community of startup founders. I’ve made so many great friends and connections, and the support from the group sessions has been invaluable. It’s inspiring to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who are on similar paths and are always willing to share ideas and encouragement.

The personalized advisory sessions have been particularly impactful, offering clarity and strategic direction in areas where I needed it most. The wealth of knowledge they bring to the table is unmatched, and they genuinely care about helping entrepreneurs succeed.

If you’re looking for a resource that empowers you with the tools, knowledge, and community to grow your business, I highly recommend Startups.com. They’ve made a significant difference for me, and I’m confident they will for you too!

Tremendous group of professionals offering various resources to founders. The community supports all that join. Pleased to be part of Startups.com.

Will has been great, consistently helping beyond
my pitch deck
I learnt the art of pitch deck from him
we collaborate weekly over phone and slack

It hasn’t even been a month since I started working with Ryan, and I’m already seeing incredible value. He’s not just a coach, he’s deeply invested in helping you succeed. Ryan takes the time to dig into the real challenges and keeps you on track with unwavering support.

I love how this community is built around real innovation, sharing, support, and learning through the balance of talking AND doing, in real practical ways to meet needs. It is truly a unique place - I have not experienced anything quite like it, and I have been in many groups. The advisors' expertise, down-to-earth access, and help are invaluable. They really show up consistently for all founders which I find incredible. I want to name them all, but want to give a shout out to Ryan Rutan and his wkshp and dedication to each person attending, and Ed Kang who doesn't cut anyone off but continues to ask "any other questions" until every last question is addressed, as well as all the workshop peer leaders who are so gifted. I truly feel blessed to be a part of this community. =)

My experience has been great so far. Especially with Wil, he has helped me a lot. The workshops are excellent, I attend a few each week and even though they go over some things I have already learned from being in previous workshops (same course), there is always something new to learn, and its great to hear the problems of other founders and Wil and Eds solutions. The foundation that you learn is absolutely essential, not only for new founders but for experienced leaders and high level execs as well. what you learn here will transform your decks and thinking to be much better than it is now. I wish I found them sooner (like 20 years ago)!

I’ve found great value in SU so far—from the coaching to the community as a whole. I’m glad I joined and would recommend it to any founder, new or seasoned (like me), looking to roll the wheel and not try to re-invent it.

I joined Startups.com originally in 2021 when I had big plans to take on the world. Only one problem, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do. I just knew I wanted to make a positive impact. Despite not having a specific business or experience or a plan….. all the mentors at Startups.com gave me their time and full attention as if I was the next Bill Gates. I finally realized I was not yet ready to dive into the amazing world of entrepreneurship.

However, three short years later, I was able to take all of their teachings and guidance from 2021 and create a business that is now in warp drive. I rejoined Startups.com a few months ago and have received even more support and education than before as they continue to improve and increase their offerings.

With all these new additions, including their Startups advisory program and community support groups, we have a solid business plan with an app launch date accelerated by six months due to the connections we have made through this amazing company.

If you are considering starting a business, have started a business, or are starting another business, Startups.com is the partner-mentor every entrepreneur dreams of having. The educational resources alone are worth the nominal monthly fee, but the networking is priceless. Accelerate your business with solid guidance and build relationships you’ll keep forever.

Can’t wait to meet you in the community!!

I spent about $1,000 with Startups.com, and for founders interested in fundraising, I can say that it was a complete waste of money. You’ll have better luck with YouTube.

The first couple weeks were great, but as I had more time with their team, I came to realize that it was a dysfunctional racket. None of the advisors seem to be on the same page and frequently gave me conflicting advice. One would tell me to move fast and set aggressive fundraising goals when the other would tell me that we didn’t have enough traction and had no business pursuing fundraising in the first place.

They also offer to help you refine your pitch deck. To their credit, their video guides were very helpful, but they aren’t providing any information that you can’t find for free on YouTube. When our deck was ready, none of the advisors had time to review our simple 12 slide presentation that we had designed for investors to digest in less than 2 minutes, which was ironic considering they are the ones insisting that we keep it brief, but then they can’t even make the time to review it themselves. They instead told me that they’d only be open to reviewing 1 or 2 slides at a time, and they were only available once a week. I jumped through the hoops for a couple weeks getting feedback, and the advisor regularly forgot the context of the remaining slides and gave me contradictory feedback from week to week.

Finally, they also like to lure you in with the promise of providing referrals to an exclusive network of investors to help pitch your company. They do have a list that you can review, but it lacks any contact info for direct outreach. When I asked several times about the promised referrals, their advisors danced around the subject and were unwilling to help or let us know what was needed to actually get access to the contacts on this “exclusive” list.

After 5 months of spinning our wheels, my co-founders and I cancelled our subscription. Contrary to other reviews here, they were not helpful at all, and my best business decision was when I chose to cancel the membership.

I've been a religious follower of the Startup Therapy podcast by Wil and Ryan for several months before joining the platform - my only regret was not signing up earlier!

The podcast's strongly resonated with several of my "contrarian" startup approaches and beliefs that I wasn't able to verbalize early on. I felt few people understood my perspective, and people from Startups.com are among the few who get it.

It took practically no convincing before I signed up for the full plan, and I was completely blown away by the value I was receiving relative to the cost.

On my first group call, Ed the facilitator, already knew my name, even though I'd just signed up the day before. Within a week, subsequent coaching calls resolved several month-long challenges. I received personal attention through office hours with specialized advisors, and have been leveraging the platform's resources heavily.

I still can't believe I'm getting so much value. It still blows my mind how they accomplish it all, and any founder would be silly to not sign up.

The team has been great. A lot of knowledge and energy. If you are a founder, Startups is a crucial part of your journey. The mentors and the community support are phenomenal.

Startups.com has been a great community environment as a startup founder. The video courses are a great starting point and the zoom workshops are usually manageable sizes to get specific questions asked and answered for the basic monthly level and all the advisors are very responsive. If you upgrade to the next level they also offer more (1 on 1) options to address additional questions and get more specialized feedback. They use a Slack channel for a majority of communication and I've been able to get alot of my questions answered between advisors and other founders. I'm only finishing my first month but would definitely recommend Startups.com for founders looking for feedback and support.

I've been really enjoying the platform. I've learned a lot, met a lot of good people, and I'm starting to feel a bit more confident about being a founder. So much so that I'm leaving this experience review. I really enjoy the daily live streams for questions. And the networking has been way more than I expected.

Amazing team, the right support for startups of all profiles, Founders get access to everything they need at the same place.

Ed Kang is King! His analysis is spot on!
I enjoyed Greg Welch's post pitch breakdown. He had great pointers.

The team really care. They give you personal attention even when it's really a group program. I've had enormous value from being in the community also, and it's great to be able to ask questions and get answers. The training sessions also amazing.

About a week ago I found startups.com and the community. How awesome! Everything that I see (and have already utilized) here relating to startups and founders is helping to shorten my learning curve on a number of topics. There is so much more value to the subscription than what I first anticipated. The website, courses, live office hour meetings, introduction to and talking directly to experts, perks, etc., etc are really top notch.
