Upstream - The best way to grow your professional network

by
Upstream is what LinkedIn Groups would be if it was started today. Join communities, give and get help, attend events to meet other professionals, and spend meaningful time together.

By far the best way to meet new people. Saw “LinkedIn Killer” in another comment and it’s spot on. Great product from a great team

Upstream has got to be one of the best "social networks" I've come across in years. I have been on the platform for a few months now (I was part of the first round of Beta users I believe), and check it literally daily. I've closed 4 deals (totaling over 6 figures) and have made a handful of new business friends through the platform. My favorite feature? I've seen them all roll out one by one, but the one that knocked my socks off was the networking roulette - where you get matched with random people into a virtual one on one conversation and can make a new connection in under 3 minutes. The quality of the feature was so crisp and impeccable (from the video streaming quality, to the types of people you were matched with in the virtual meeting rooms) and its by far one of the best ways I've met new people and networked during covid thus far. Kudos guys! Amazing work and I'm so honored to be part of this beta journey!

LOVE this product. The Helping and Hiring community is amazing + the Office Hours are something that so many startup founders can benefit from.

Upstream has been amazing at recreating the serendipity of making new professional connections at in-person events, which of course, we haven't been able to do for most of the year. Hopefully, this will be a temporary restriction. Even after we can resume in-person events, Upstream provides a far easier, more efficient, and more targeted way to expand your professional network than attending in-person events: no travel time, no long time commitments, no awkward hello's; just short, focused opportunities to meet other people who all there to do exactly the same thing!

@geoffscott Thanks Geoff!

I really love all the people I've met so far at the Upstream events. Alex and his team have done an amazing job developing the technology, process, events, and community to make sure it's an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. In a world of "Zoom-fatigue," I look forward to my weekly Upstream events! Great job team!
