Startup Pro

A private MeetUp for early and mid-stage entrepreneurs

You are here because we invited you to apply to be a member of Startup Pro, a private MeetUp for early and mid-stage entrepreneurs.

Membership and all services are free, sponsored by DLA Piper. You don’t have to be a client of DLA Piper.

What you get as a member

This is an experiment. We have lots of ideas for programs. But most importantly, we’re looking to you for guidance so that the programs we create are what you need and want and will show up for.

For starters, we plan to offer:

1) Pro Coaching: advanced investor presentation coaching—deeper and more specific than the first-pass coaching you get at Open Coaching.

2) Fishbowls: CEO round-tables, where you share your questions and issues and get help from other members.

3) Jammin’ with the Experts: topical sessions guided by subject-matter experts

3) Online connections: a private, members-only Slack channel for messaging and a repository of resources.

What we ask in return:

All we ask is that you commit to being an active member. Show up and share. Very important: follow directions.

This is not an incubator or accelerator. Startup Pro is not offering any type of capital investment. Nobody will ask you for a piece of your company. There is no “Demo Day” graduation. No revolving-door cohorts.

To finish signing up as a member:

Fill out the intake form below. Agree to the Terms.

If more than one person from your company will be participating, you only need to fill out this form once for the primary contact (CEO or founder) and then list the other people in the Additional Members fields at the end of the form.
