Nexus Matchmaking & Co-Founder Matching
Nexus 1:1 Networking
We have successfully kicked off a 1:1 facilitated matchmaking program to help Nexus members connect with other like-minded members. If you missed out on this round but want to be included in the future… just ping Jimmy, George, or Sarah Longley in slack.
Co-Founder Matching
Santiago Zindel at the Roux Institute put together a very simple co-founder matching tool to help connect people who:
Have a startup idea/business and are looking for cofounders or a founding team
Don't have their idea/business but are interested in joining someone's team as a cofounder or founding team member
Slack Community Spotlight
Slack is where the Nexus community comes together to discuss new ideas, find events, and get connected. Here are some spotlights from interesting conversations.
A detailed overview of Apple & OpenAI’s partnership and an outlook on what this means for the tech industry
A MaineBiz profile of Kittery based startup Pumpspotting (Their founder is a Nexus Maine member!)
Planning and organizing a work from home/outdoor retreat at a hostel around Sugarloaf for Nexus Maine members. (This one already happened, stay plugged into so you don’t miss out on the next)
A discussion on how to build Webflow apps
Recommendations for local CPAs
