Use startup communities as a GTM channel without spamming: community selection, trust-building, founder asks, launch posts, feedback loops, and referral capture. Use when entering founder communities, posting launches, finding early adopters, or turning community participation into pipeline.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Startup Communities

## Overview

Your location and network determine your startup's trajectory more than you
think. The right community gives you: co-founders, first customers, early
employees, warm investor intros, and a peer group that understands the grind.
The mistake: building in isolation because "the internet makes location
irrelevant." The internet distributes information but not trust, not
serendipitous co-founder meetings, and not the informal advice that saves
your startup. This skill maps every major startup community globally, the
accelerators and incubators worth applying to, and the online communities
that connect you regardless of geography.

## Authoritative Foundations
- **Brad Feld — Startup Communities (Boulder Thesis)** — Communities must be led by entrepreneurs, take a long-term view, include everyone, and run continuous activities.
- **David Spinks — The Business of Belonging** — Tie community to a business outcome (support, product, acquisition, success) and measure it.
- **CMX — SPACES model** — Pick the community's primary value: Support, Product, Acquisition, Contribution, Engagement, or Success.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/startup-communities@sha256:be04d7cf97cd2b31

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
