Definitely depends on the kind of startup! A lot of more mainstream startups that aren't super techy or gamer focused are using using Geneva :) https://geneva.com/

@samliebeskind nice, Geneva looks cool :)

Depends on your userbase. Our product/service is for stock traders, and soon crypto- which for stocks in generally a higher age than what you would expect to be on Discord. But our userbase moreso targets a younger audience- and Discord has also exploded with users who are trading stocks/crypto since the pandemic started. But our product also started as a Discord bot. We wouldn't even attempt to move ot another platform- we're 14,000 strong right now.

@richw I see, totally makes sense. Love what you're building at theTradeHub.net. How did you get your first 500 community members?
Rich Watson
@dhruv_bhatia Mostly through promoting, offering incentives to users who invited users to the server.
Peter Kowalczyk
@richw Great points, I think the question is nightmare for early founders as they are not sure what their users use... Maybe then anyway it is too early to start this group 🤔

It really depends on your industry, but I'd look for a platform with good video functionality. if you're looking to drive engagement, video is where it's at.
Dhruv Bhatia
@gavin_hammar interesting suggestion! Video does get good engagement :)

@rosiesherry Agreed! Nothing beats email
