A startup community is a network of individuals and organizations that support the growth and development of new businesses, often referred to as startups. This community typically includes entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and service providers who collaborate to share resources, knowledge, and experiences. The goal is to foster innovation and help startups succeed in their early stages. These communities can be found in various forms, such as co-working spaces, accelerators, and incubators. They often host events like pitch competitions, workshops, and networking meetups, providing valuable opportunities for startups to connect with potential partners and investors while gaining insights from industry experts.
