Don’t know about others, but Bluelearn started as a discord server for kids, they wanted to study together on voice channels and were quite active. 
  
 They eventually built out an app, don’t know about metrics, but it’s definitely an interesting idea

Opinion on professional social media startups- Grapevine

Hi everyone, 
Glad to be here! 
I know there are generic platforms like Linkedin and Naukri for Job search. I was wondering if there are any platforms that are more suited to searching jobs only in startups? Please advise.

Platform for Open Positions

Product Manager

A platform for long term mentorship where users can connect with professionals to get guidance for getting into their desired organisations or universities. 
It would be a close-knit community where only 3-4 students can only join for a mentor at a particular time and A mentorship can last up to 6 months. 
For better understanding there are startups like Preplaced in India and mentor.cam in US

Startup idea review

I am building a platform which would help aspirants get connected with peers and mentors to get guidance about their respective domains. 
How should I attract initial users?

Building a startup

I was previously working in a startup in a software/IT role. Now, after 3 months of searching for a job, I got an interview from an ed-learning startup in Bengaluru for a business development role. 

Please give me your takes on this. What would be the pros and cons of taking up this job?

How are ed-learning startups for work?

We all know it’s high time that we need an LinkedIn alternative. Which are those potential LI alternatives you have recently joined or heard of?

Are there any potential LinkedIn killers getting built?

Found these screenshots in my gallery while cleaning it. How many of these VC funded ed-tech startups exist today?

How many of these exist today?

Most edtechs have been infamous for mis-selling, poor teaching , etc but are there any good startups who are doing great work?

Any good Edtechs worth joining?

Software Engineer

Where you can connect with quality , relevant, legit mentors and ask career related queries. First call will be free and further calls will be paid. 
Do you think this kind of platform can work ? Will guidance seekers pay for career advice? I have my doubts .

Seeking feedack on an idea: A career guidance platform for professionals

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey guys! So I recently graduated from a non tech background but I have been coding since the last 1.5-2 years and have made some decent projects in frontend(react) (also past internship experience in Python/data analysis)

But I know with the current market conditions and my background getting a full time role might be a huge ask so my plan is to get an internship at a decent startup and then eventually convert to full time.

Do you guys know some decent startups that follow this exact model for freshers? Thanks!

Advice To Fresher Applying For Frontend Roles

A friend of mine is working at a leading financial services company with over 100k employees. 
He feels like he'd want to be part of something smaller, create more impact and help it grow rather than be just a part of the crowd.

Where should he start? How can he find the suitable people and jobs?

How does someone get into the startup culture?

Any opportunity for freshers in starups?

Which are the top Series A/B Indian startups to work?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi folks, I'm doing a product teardown on Topmate.io and wanted to understand some things from someone who is either a creator there or has taken a session there.

1) What advantage do you think it offers over its competitors? (Ex - ADPlist)
2) What can be improved for getting more paid sessions for creators?
3) Should it start co-partnering with creators to get sponsorships for the content they are expert at and offering it for free? (For the multiple learner type of sessions)
4) Does the absence of a search bar add to or reduce the efforts of learners while finding the right creator on the platform?
5) What made you use Topmate.io in the first place? (For both learners and creators)
6) Have you faced an issue due to difference of available time zones between the creator and the learner? If yes, what do you think is the best way to solve it?

Key Account Manager

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience)

Ps: currently running an edtech startup in pre-seed/seed stage

Feel free to ask anything, would be happy to help even personally

Which startup has the most toxic work culture?

I am a student and I am in the process of building a startup and as a part of that process I am asking professionals about how they think of providing paid long-term mentorship on the skills of their domain to students in a close-knit community of 3-6 folks for better learning outcomes. 

Skills eg. - Android development, SDE, Excel in finance,etc

To professionals out here

Let's list down all the startups which are hiring.

🧵 thread on - Who's hiring

Quite a lot of employers are posting online claiming to be hiring, but candidates seem to be not getting any response after sending email/DM to that HR who posted. 
  
 I myself have applied to an entry level opening at a very well known and establish vehicles related product company. Literally entry level role with 6 months to 1.5yr YoE (I have 1YoE), yet I've not got any response. And they keep reposting the same opening over and over and over, to the point where I feel they are actually not hiring, but just updating their hiring work quotas as they were lazy AF HRs all through the FY23-24.
