A home for intentional connection
networkd is a curated community for founders, mentors, investors and trusted partners. We move away from the transactional by focusing on three things.
Rooms built for every stage
We curate a community of people at different points in their journey, so there's always someone further ahead who can offer advice, and someone earlier on worth knowing.
Shared experiences
Events built for conversation, not networking laps round a room.
High-value conversations
Our community keeps talking after the event ends, so advice and support don't stop at the door.
Everything here is designed to feel personal, not transactional. Trust builds fast when the people around you are there for the same reasons you are.
Why I started networkd
I've always enjoyed connecting people. Whenever I meet someone new, there's a part of me thinking, who should I introduce them to? It's not a strategy, it's just something I genuinely enjoy.
I spent four years at a startup incubator, where I built a community of over 200 mentors and worked closely with sponsors, partners, founders and investors. Starting networkd felt like the natural next step.
Transactional networking, collecting business cards and moving on, was never for me. I didn't want that in my own community, so I built something different: a space where relationships come first and the connections actually mean something.
