Features
Event Based
IRLYBRD is driven by events. Startup and entrepreneur events are all around. In-person events are where quality connections are made. Your community is built around them.
Socialize & Chat
Our platform allows you to pre-connect with attendees of events. Get to know your future contacts. Then use our social features to keep the conversation going after you make a great new connection!
Grant Money
We need capital to move the ball forward building a startup. Pitch competitions are hosted to award 1 startup with a $5K micro grant per quarter. Make a bet on your fellow local entrepreneurs.
Co-Mentoring
We all have our areas of expertise. Meet other entrepreneurs in the community to ask questions on your startup journey. Help others by sharing what you know. Success comes from collaboration.
About
Social media has given us all the chance to build vast virtual networks and grow business relationships online. But REAL connections happen in REAL life. Of course, that doesn't mean we need to take perfectly good -- and incredibly useful -- technology out of the equation. In fact, the answer is marrying the two, bringing virtual and real life together, so you can network like never before. That's where IRLYBRD comes in.
