If you find people in the last year of college, perhaps at least some of them will go on to launch a startup…?

Hoping for that. I mostly hang around NYU kids and everything there is very internship-based. Maybe I should've met more people at Stanford haha

Out of curiosity, have you considered relocating to SFBA?

I considered it but for my business there are more opportunities in NYC especially since I'm not looking for VC funding. NYC is way more fun than the bay anyways. SF is alright but everywhere else is so boring, suburban, and overpriced.

Makes sense. Slightly envious that you get to live in NYC, seems like a very nice city!

"How can I meet other people like me?" Do you really want to restrict yourself to meeting people in their 20s ? If you expand your horizon a bit, plenty of exciting founders in their 30s,40s or even 50s .

No not at all and I like meeting all kinds of founders, usually much older ones. I'm just saying it would be nice to meet people who are in the same stage in life as me

Great. I am an almost 42 year old bootstrapped founder and always happy to meet like minded people. I am not quite in NYC but in Southern New Jersey (almost philly). So I can get to NYC in 1.5-2 hours (give or take traffic situation). Happy to connect. Details in profile.

Hi, I am 21. First I didn't want to comment as I am not a founder (yet), but I actually had an idea: My university actually runs a rudimentary founders program/startup accelerator for students.

Maybe the institutions near you do the same, I am sure your input would be invaluable there and also the (future) founders would be right in your age range.
