I'm 20. Last year I launched a fairly successful SAAS startup. I recently dropped out to work on it full time and moved to NYC. I have friends here but they're all in college and I'd really like to meet people who went down the same path as me in life.<p>How can I meet other people like me?
In NYC, there ought to be at least one meetup group for startup founders?! I would have a look on <a href="https://www.meetup.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.meetup.com/</a><p>BTW, did you consider applying to YC? You don’t have to move permanently to SF to join.
"How can I meet other people like me?"<p>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 .
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.<p>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.
You're on a rare vector, no doubt about it. It'll be tough.<p>You can try milling about various startup accelerators, I guess. You might find a few who did what you did, and they tend to have a younger crowd.
Meetups, happy hours around conferences and events, and lean our your VC contacts they should have their own events/dinners, and can intro you to like minded founders regardless
