Startup × StayingBee
Founders, investors, and operators — the people you already build with.
A conference, a market trip, or a new city is different when the person across the table already speaks startup. StayingBee gives that network a place to meet — find founders and operators, join Hangouts, discover Experiences and stay with someone in the ecosystem.

It was the founder you met at SLUSH. The operator in another city. The investor who actually knew the market.
Web Summit. A demo day. A week of customer visits.
Then the trip ended. Everyone flew home.
Your network still spans cities, stages and roles.
Someone from that ecosystem might be in the city you’re flying to next.
“I’m in Berlin for the week. Who’s around?”
The network stayed.You just need a way to find them.
Your startup network isn’t just a stack of business cards. It’s people you can meet between sessions, and a welcome from someone who already speaks the work.

The startup network isn’t only useful when you’re travelling. See who’s already in your city and keep the conversation going after the event.

Maybe you’re also an AIESECer, a CEMSie, or a Global Shaper. Join the other communities you belong to from one place.
Your network should work in those cities too.
