What is it?

start.city (pronounced start dot city) is the city in the cloud for young people in technology to navigate their journey together with intentional discussions and meaningful relationships with peers.

Why?

start.city is an open, honest, and real community to learn and grow together with other young people in tech.

the opportunity to form a community peers shouldn't be constrained to a physical city, employer, or school affiliation.

we're starting out and might be a little short on career and personal capital- we can all use a little help from our friends!

Community Values:

Inspiration
Inclusivity
Empathy
Intentionality
Ambition
Curiosity
Openness
Cooperation
Inquiry
Growth
Warmth

<aside> 📍 start.city will become the place you turn to when making career decisions, learn cool shit, and where you build trusted relationships with other young people in tech.

Kinda like college, but not. More like SF, with less gentrification, in the cloud. ☁️🚀

Ok... so what is it?

An inspiring and inclusive village of people who didn't go to your school or work at your company.
A place to get honest answers to hard questions about your career and the intentional decisions that go into it.
A city to hear & learn about new things. Discuss curated content from the most thoughtful young minds in tech and find people to build with.
start.city is the home of our city. It's non-selective as long as you're at the right stage of life.
It's hosted on community platform circle.so, and will be a markedly different experience than any Slack group you're in. By joining, you're committing to contributing to the City and sharing your thoughts and perspectives. If that all sounds good, we'd love to have you as a Citizen.

<aside> 👋🏼 Note for future Citizens: We'll bring new people into our city each week! We experienced a huge amount of inbound interest around launch, and we're expanding slowly to preserve a high-quality community and ensure that each member can have a great experience— it's well worth the short wait, and once we get the ball rolling, resources and discussions will be visible publicly! Please bear with us as we try to build something special :)
