Which are the best peer groups for startup founders?


I was going through Sam Altman's blogs and found a heavy focus on a peer group like YC. I am building an agency that caters to developer tools, so probably YC isn't an option. Are there any peer groups that could help me grow faster, learn more, and provide a sense of competition?

Microconf's Slack channel can be a good start.

They run mastermind groups a few times per year where they match you with founders in a similar state to you. It can be very helpful if you are looking to build deeper connections with other founders.

One suggestion: reframe "We Create Content for DevTools" to "We generate leads for DevTools."

Check out angel investor networks in your area. They often hold events that are a good place to meet other founders, and are a great place chat with peers going through the challenge of building a business.
