Планирую запуск стартапа в США и ищу полезные сообщества для нетворкинга. Какие онлайн-платформы вы бы посоветовали для общения с другими основателями? Хочется найти место, где можно получить практические советы и поддержку от тех, кто уже прошел этот путь.
Had a fintech client launching in the US who couldn’t get community engagement going. We completely revamped their email sequence - ditched the feature pitches and A/B tested founder stories plus regulatory challenges that hit American markets specifically. The compliance pain point emails crushed it with 3x higher CTR when we shared them in AngelList and ProductHunt discussions.
Worked with a European SaaS company breaking into the US market recently. The real challenge wasn’t picking the right platform - it was content localization. Their top-of-funnel content completely missed the regulatory stuff American founders actually worry about. We rebuilt their editorial calendar around US-specific pain points and what users were actually searching for. Engagement on Indie Hackers and First Round shot up after that.
Had a B2B client from Eastern Europe who couldn’t crack US founder communities. Turns out their social listening was way off - they were tracking generic startup hashtags instead of where real conversations happen. We switched to monitoring YC forums and AngelList discussions and found founders didn’t want another networking platform. They wanted tactical advice on regulatory stuff. Completely changed how the client engaged with communities.
In a recent audit of a Russian startup entering the US market, I found that their SEO issues stemmed not from technical factors, but from keyword selection. They had been translating Russian keywords directly, failing to account for the nuances of American search behavior. By analyzing SERP features and user behavior data, we pivoted their content strategy to align with US search patterns, which dramatically improved their visibility.
Ran PPC for a Russian ed-tech startup targeting US founders last year. Their LinkedIn and Google campaigns weren’t working until we figured out American founders respond totally differently to ad copy timing. Tested urgency messaging vs community-focused angles - US audiences converted 40% better when we mentioned specific communities like YC or Techstars instead of generic startup language.
