Upstream provides users with the opportunity to join communities based on shared interests and connect with like-minded professionals through events and discussion. There are many different types of communities on the platform, including “Founders Friday in NYC,” “Startup Lean Coffee,” ”Partnerships Community,” and “Helping and Hiring.” On Upstream, you can attend events and office hours with experienced professionals, and get matched with people for five minute 1:1 video chats. Upstream will help you expand your network and learn from others. While it’s currently in beta, you can download the Upstream app for free from the App Store.
