Upstream for Web - The next generation professional networking platform

Big last 24 hours for us at Upstream. We have officially released Upstream for Web & raised our $3.25M seed round. Upstream for Web is all the things that were great for Upstream but now from your computer as well (on top of iOS and Android support). The team will be around today to answer any questions. We had a bunch of press today: TechCrunch - https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/1... Axios - https://www.axios.com/upstream-v... Biz Insider - https://www.businessinsider.com/... Yahoo Finance - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u... ReadWrite - https://readwrite.com/2021/05/19... Refresh Miami - https://www.refreshmiami.com/mia... And feel free to check out Upstream for Web at Upstreamapp.com

Of the big three networking apps to launch this year, Upstream is by far the "stickiest". There are a lot of reasons I keep coming back: office hours with incredible professionals, video events with built in networking, gated and vetted communities, and more. Excited to see @ajt and the team expand the product to web and keep growing.

If you haven’t tried Upstream, you’re missing out on a fantastic community of open-minded achievers looking to support one another.

Upstream is the best way that I’ve met new people over the past year. My professional community (Serial Marketers) may have been the first existing one to launch a presence on Upstream, and through that, we’ve had hundreds of members make meaningful connections. Having hosted dozens of events and attended well over 100, I’m excited for Upstream to be even easier to access.

What are some of the less-flashy underutilized features that some people are getting a ton of value from?

Love what @ajt is building! - I'm the admin of Active Investors with 585 members - hosted 25 events - attended 100+ - met 300 people - connected 700 investors Learn, meet and connect with new people - best use of 30min all week! Download now

Love all of the communities on upstream and how helpful everyone is. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I'm a huge fan of Upstream. I found myself spending way more time on this app than any other audio or audiovisual communities over the past 9months because 1) I love the event format - focused on 3-5 minute speed dating type interactions that allowed me to meet high quality new people (way more productive & fun than a long zoom or an IRL event), 2) Loved being part of the topical micro-communities and 3) High quality, curated community. Other offerings just didn't do nearly as much for me. Can't wait to see what new features/formats the team has in store!

I've met some great folks on the app, looking forward to seeing how it progresses!

I enjoyed Upstream so much, I invested in it!
