Why I started networkd
For four years I worked at a startup incubator, where I built a community of more than 200 mentors and worked with the founders, investors, sponsors and partners around them.
I noticed the best things happen between people who trust each other. Not in rooms where everyone collects business cards and moves on, but where people get to know each other properly and want to help.
So I started networkd: a community where the relationship comes first, and every introduction means something.
What people say
“Built on years of trust and solid connections, Jan knows how to bring together the right founders, mentors and investors.”
Andy EvansInvestor, Digital Founders
“networkd stands out because it feels refreshingly human in a world full of superficial networking.”
Eva PascoeMentor, The Retail Practice
“It's rare to find a space where everyone is so willing to help without keeping score.”
