Nisha, after finishing her master's, tapped into the startup field. She was eager to make her startup a success. But, she was a complete newbie with no contacts. So, what did she do? 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁? Everyone's gotta start somewhere, right? But that doesn't mean you sit around waiting to meet people before getting started. Nisha took the plunge and landed her first client to kick start her business. In the business world, it's only natural that you'll make contacts along the way. But guess what? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁. Industry events are goldmines for making connections like never before. Nisha scored tickets from her friends and headed to the event, where she met Mohit. Not only did she make meaningful connections, but she also discovered that Mohit shared her values, and they ended up becoming partners. Pretty cool, isn't it? You never know how events can work wonders for you. _______________________________________________________ PS: I never miss an opportunity to attend events, and it's undeniable that they help me learn better each time from diverse perspectives. Have you ever felt nervous about talking to strangers at events? How did you handle it? #networking #industryevents #meaningfulconnections

You know what's really great about diving into local networking? It feels like you're part of a secret club where everyone's got your back. It's not just about handing out your business card; it's about forming real connections. For startup founders, this is truly invaluable. Picture this: finding your next big idea while waiting for your morning coffee or discovering a mentor in line at the supermarket. Local folks get the challenges we face here, and that shared understanding (which is pure gold dust). Let's not forget the power of face-to-face chats in our digital age. Sometimes, the most valuable connections are right here in our neighbourhood. #localcommunity #networking

Think community-building is just another buzzword? You’re dead wrong. Building a network of successful founders isn’t about fluffy meet-ups; it’s about creating real, tangible connections that drive results. Here are 10 gritty strategies I’m rolling up my sleeves for: 1. Ditch the Small Talk: Cut through the noise. Jump straight into meaningful conversations by asking about challenges and goals. 2. Serve Before You Get Served: Offer value before asking for something. Share insights, make intros, or lend an ear. 3. Create Ripple Effects: Connect people who can benefit from each other’s expertise and watch the magic unfold. 4. Authentic Storytelling: Share your raw, authentic story—not just successes. This inspires others to open up and build deeper connections. 5. Build Trust with Transparency: Be honest about your intentions and experiences—success or failure—transparency fosters trust. 6. Host Intimate Gatherings: Skip the mega-events. Opt for small, focused meetups where real connections form. 7. Leverage Digital Tools: Utilize platforms not just for mindless scrolling but to engage, share, and connect. 8. Encourage Chain Reactions: Inspire your network to pay it forward. One introduction can lead to a dozen more. 9. Engage Consistently: Show up regularly. Consistency beats occasional moments of brilliance every day of the week. 10. Embody Resilience: As a community builder, navigate the hurdles with grace, showing your network how to bounce back stronger. Building a community of founders isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon. But with strategy, intention, and a touch of tenacity, you’re bound to create a network that doesn’t just talk but transcends. #CommunityBuilding #Entrepreneurship #FounderNetwork #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Strategy #Networking #GrowthMindset

This past Saturday, I had breakfast with 4 amazing founders and snagged two leads for my own #MicroSaaS!🤩 In a small, relaxed setting like a cafe, conversations become incredibly focused and insightful. Here's why I loved it 👇🏻 ✅ Deep Dives: Each founder had the chance to delve into their product and their current challenges. It was a true exchange of ideas and experiences. ✅ Candid Connections: Unlike the usual "pitch perfect" environment, the breakfast table fostered open dialogue. Everyone felt comfortable sharing honestly, without fear of judgment. This "Breakfast Social" format proved to be a fantastic way to: Learn from Each Other 🙌🏻 We all gained valuable insights from hearing each other's stories and perspectives. Build Stronger Connections 🥂 The relaxed setting fostered deeper connections than a typical networking event. Understand the Ecosystem ✨ It provided a valuable glimpse into the current startup landscape. Who's interested in joining the next Breakfast Social? 👀 If you're looking for candid conversations, a friendly atmosphere, and a chance to connect with fellow founders on a deeper level, drop a comment below! #eChaiBreakfastSocial #Founders #StartupCommunity #Networking #BreakfastSocial #Chennai #OfflineEvent

● FOUNDER TIPS TOWNHALL ● With Townhall just around the corner, it’s time to drop some ‘Founder Tips’ to help you crush your networking game! This time, we’ve got some golden advice from Nicolai Danmark Johannesen, who's co-founder and board member of Reshopper, an Aarhus-based scale-up that has built a secondhand marketplace for families ⇪ Here is what Nicolai has to say about nailing networking at the event ↓ ► Build connections Networking can be a game changer for your startup. Use events to meet new people, share ideas, and get some fresh inspiration. Strong connections now can open doors later! ► Prep and reach out early Do some homework on who’s attending and who you want to meet. Shoot a quick message to key people before the event so you can skip the lines and get their full attention. ► Connect on LinkedIn right away After each chat connect on LinkedIn - it makes follow-up easier. Waiting too long means you might forget who’s who. So keep your phone charged and ready to go!

🤝 Ever wondered how to start collaborating with others to grow your business? In the early stages, I didn’t jump straight into big joint ventures or partnerships. Instead, I took smaller steps to build connections and grow my network, which eventually led to more collaboration opportunities. Here’s how I got started with baby steps toward collaboration: 1. Engage in Online Communities: I joined groups on LinkedIn and Facebook where other entrepreneurs in my field were hanging out. By actively participating—commenting on posts, sharing insights, and joining conversations—I began to build genuine connections with people on a similar journey. 2. Offer to Co-Host a Live or Workshop: One of my first small collaborations was co-hosting a live session with another entrepreneur. It was a great way to reach a new audience without the pressure of a full joint venture. 3. Support Others’ Content: Simple acts like sharing someone else’s post, commenting, or tagging them in relevant discussions can go a long way. It’s a low-pressure way to show support, get on their radar, and build a connection over time. These small actions build relationships that can naturally evolve into larger collaborations or joint ventures as your business grows. What’s one small step you’d like to take toward collaborating with others? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear your ideas and support you in getting started! #SmallStepsBigImpact #WomenInBusiness #Collaboration #BuildYourNetwork
