Ask HN: Which are the best peer groups for startup founders?
I was going through Sam Altman's blogs and found a heavy focus on a peer group like YC. I am building an agency that caters to developer tools, so probably YC isn't an option. Are there any peer groups that could help me grow faster, learn more, and provide a sense of competition?
- caruizdiaz 3y agoMicroconf's Slack channel can be a good start. They run mastermind groups a few times per year where they match you with founders in a similar state to you. It can be very helpful if you are looking to build deeper connections with other founders.

- bcrl 3y agoCheck out angel investor networks in your area. They often hold events that are a good place to meet other founders, and are a great place chat with peers going through the challenge of building a business.
- Vishal19111999 3y agoThanks for the suggestion. Although, as I work remotely from a lesser-known place as of now, it is difficult for me to participate in angel investor networks. I am looking more into online meetup/discussion groups.
- skmurphy 3y agoOne suggestion: reframe "We Create Content for DevTools" to "We generate leads for DevTools."
- Vishal19111999 3y agoThanks for the suggestion. Never thought it that way. Would definitely be looking into reframing it.
