Problem

Scattered tools, lost connections

Applications live in forms, mentor matches in spreadsheets, events in separate apps. The valuable connections between founders, mentors and investors get lost in manual tracking.

01

Deal flow lives in someone's inbox

Warm intros between founders and angels happen over random DMs and forwarded emails, so good deal flow quietly slips past the ecosystem team.

Solved with PlademyMember directory + intros
02

Mentor matching is a guessing game

Pairing founders with the right mentor still means scrolling spreadsheets by hand, so strong matches happen by luck, not by design.

Solved with PlademyRule-based + AI matching
03

Demo day logistics eat your week

Registrations, reminders and the investor guest list for pitch day get rebuilt from scratch in a new tool every single cohort.

FAQ

Entrepreneurship: your questions, answered

What is the best software to run a startup ecosystem community?

Plademy is a closed, invite-only platform built for ecosystem builders: it combines a member directory of founders, mentors and investors, rule-based and AI matching, events for demo days and meetups, and 1:1 intro scheduling in one place, so you stop stitching together separate tools.

How do founders and mentors or investors find each other?

Members get rich profiles that surface what they are building, what they need or what they invest in, and a searchable directory with filters lets founders, mentors and investors find the right match themselves, alongside the platform's own matching suggestions.

Can we run demo days and pitch events through the platform?

Yes. You can publish one-off or recurring demo days with registration, waitlists and automatic reminders, host the pitch session itself in a built-in LiveKit video room, and sell paid tickets for larger showcase events.

How do we schedule intro calls between founders, mentors and investors?

With Let's Meet, any member can offer open slots and another member books one in a click; the call can run through the built-in video rooms or sync to Zoom and Google Calendar, so there is no email back-and-forth to set up an intro.

Is the ecosystem platform private and invite-only, not public like LinkedIn?

Yes, Plademy is closed by design: members join only by invite or admin approval, access and visibility are controlled by roles and permissions, and the whole space can run on your own domain and branding so it reads as your ecosystem, not a public network.
