Ask HN: How to get pitched by startups
So I work for a pretty awesome consumer products company, and we like to try new things that aren't proven by the big guys yet. Any tips on a place to get pitched by startups?
I track HN/TC/etc daily, but I have this feeling that theres probably a lot of startups that could help our business, and likewise we could help validate/grow. I might not be thinking about what they're offering, or frankly understand the proposition.
Any ideas?
- g0atbutt 15y agoI see a lot of startups on a day to day basis (I run The Startup Foundry) and would be happy to pass along some info your way. What are you looking for specifically?
- brianjolney 15y agoI suppose thats the problem, I'm not quite sure. Our company is Vita Coco (http://vitacoco.com http://vitacoco.com), and we're always looking for ways to increase our social media fans, analyze where and what our fans are doing, optimize our web/fb pages, etc. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to opt-in as a person willing (and looking) to be pitched ideas by fresh companies.
- nantes 15y agoI would suggest AlphaList except that I just realized I haven't seen anything from them in a couple weeks. Still, worth a shot. http://alphalist.co/ http://alphalist.co/
