“The location and the activities
happening at StartingBlock have been
great, because our people enjoy being
in the physical space... It’s actually
a benefit for us when it comes to
acquisition. People see it and think,
‘this is cool, we’re right here.”
Elly Kruse, Co-Founder
DataLily AI
"Before StartingBlock, we were learning off of ChatGPT or watching YC videos. But you couldn’t ask a question and get a real answer. Here, if you have a problem with something, you just connect to the right person. It’s like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game, there’s always someone.”
Ben Camp, CEO & CoFounder
Recovery.com
"Choosing to build Recovery.com at StartingBlock was one of the most consequential decisions we’ve made. As a first-time founder, I immediately benefited from the events and programming, but the greatest value came from the serendipitous connections that happen when you’re surrounded by other builders."
