One of the hardest parts of building a startup isn’t the idea or the tech — it’s finding the right people.
I kept running into the same problem:
People are interested, but not consistent
Conversations start, but don’t go anywhere
It’s hard to find others who are actually serious about building
So I started working on something to solve this for myself — Startives.
The goal is simple: Create a space where people don’t just talk about ideas, but actually collaborate and build together.
Instead of random networking, the focus is on:
Connecting with builders
Sharing ideas with intent
Finding people to actually execute with
Still early, still improving, but already seeing better quality interactions compared to typical communities.
Would love to get feedback from other founders here: How are you currently finding people to build with?
