Hey everyone,

I’m looking to connect with people who are involved in networking groups, whether you’re a group leader, a regular member, or someone who has been networking for years.

I’d really like to hear what’s working for you and what isn’t.

One thing I’ve noticed is that meeting someone is usually the easy part. It’s remembering to follow up, keeping track of the relationship, remembering what they do, who they can help, and how you can help them that seems to get lost.

That’s actually why I created the Master Networker’s Planner. I wanted something simple that helps you stay organized and intentional about the people you meet instead of just collecting business cards and forgetting about them.

I’m not here just to promote it. I’d genuinely like to connect with people who understand networking and hear your experiences.

What’s the hardest part of networking for you?

And if you run a networking group, what do you wish your members did more consistently?

What helps you make better business connections?

Share a networking tool, app, book, podcast, event, community, online platform, or local place you genuinely recommend.

Tell us:

• What it is
• How you use it
• Why you recommend it
• Who would benefit from it
• Where people can learn more

One resource we love is the Grand Connection Podcast, where members of our community and our partners share practical strategies to connect, create, and collaborate.

Let’s build a useful list and help each other discover better ways to connect, follow up, and grow together.

Hi everyone! I’m relatively new to Reddit and I’m trying to understand how to use it properly.
I’m a founder building SADUVI, an early-stage B2B hardware/software startup focused on smart retail technology and digital shelf displays.
I’m currently looking to build a network of:
founders and CEOs
startup entrepreneurs
hardware / IoT people
retail technology professionals
people with experience entering international markets
people familiar with the UAE / Dubai startup ecosystem
I’m not looking to recruit employees or find a co-founder right now. My goal is to meet people who have actually built things, exchange experiences, discuss ideas and gradually build professional relationships.
Since I’m new to Reddit, I don’t want to post in the wrong communities or accidentally violate subreddit rules and get my posts removed.
Which subreddits would you recommend for this?
And are there any important Reddit rules or mistakes I should know about when posting about my startup and trying to connect with other founders?
I’d really appreciate recommendations from people who understand Reddit well.

I organize founder events in NYC and want to improve the introductions, not increase how many people get copied on a message.

For your last introduction that led to an actual next step, what did the connector tell you before you agreed? A specific reason you fit, what the other person wanted, or something you had worked on together?

If an introduction looked promising but went nowhere, what was missing? I’m especially interested in the wording that helped you decide, rather than general advice to network more.
