Looking for startups interested in community-led growth

Hi there! I'm looking for a couple of startups that want to build a community around their product or brand and could use some help with strategy and management in exchange for case studies.

My background is in digital marketing and strategy, and I've spent years working with early-stage founders on the 0 to 1 phase. I'm also currently building my own project (a maternal mental health platform), so I'm very much in the trenches too :)

What I'm really after is startup-specific community experience because I think it's a really underused growth lever at the early stage. So if you're building something and community is on your roadmap, I'd love to chat!

    Hi Anastasia,

    I'm currently building an AI SaaS product based on a very personal pain point: the difficulty of fully understanding and remembering conversations in a foreign language during meetings and calls.

    The product focuses on:

    • real-time transcription
    • live translation
    • AI summaries
    • conversation memory

    It's still in beta testing, but I'm already seeing that people care a lot about reducing stress and cognitive load during multilingual conversations.

    Your idea about community-led growth sounds interesting, especially because I think products like this benefit a lot from early user feedback and shared workflows.

    If this kind of project sounds relevant to what you're looking for, I'd definitely be open to chatting and participating.

    One of the biggest advantages early-stage startups have is closeness to users.

    Community-led growth turns that closeness into a long-term moat.

    People often focus only on acquisition, but communities create something harder to copy: belonging and trust.

    Also respect that you’re offering value first in exchange for case studies — that’s how strong long-term partnerships usually start.
