Find the people to build it with.
A members-only community for young founders, mostly 18 to 25, anywhere in the world. Post what you need and what you can do, find co-founders and collaborators, and get introduced.
Example: Rhian, who is building a business in Cardiff, sends Tomás in Lisbon a short introduction. Tomás accepts, and a private conversation opens between them.

- Every conversation starts with a short note the other person chooses to accept.

- Idea
- You’ve got an idea and want honest feedback before you commit to it.
- Building
- You’re building it and need a co-founder, a collaborator or a skill you don’t have yet.
- Launched or growing
- You’re trading and want customers, a mentor, or people a few steps ahead of you.

How Nextroom keeps it useful
- Members only
- Profiles, posts and conversations are only visible to people who have joined.
- Introductions before messages
- Nobody can message you until you’ve accepted their introduction.
- Your email stays private
- It’s used to sign you in and is never shown to other members.
- Block and report
- Blocking hides you from each other everywhere. A person reviews every report.
