(Re)announcing our new digital community 🔥
For a while, Discord has served as the successful online network of V1 – it embodies our talented and active members. However, as we grow our in-person experience at the University of Michigan, we’re excited to announce our new digital community on Slack!
We’re preserving all the great channels of Discord + more!
Announcements 📣 – All upcoming events, shoutouts, and initiatives.
Building 🔨 – A space for everyone to share what they’re working on -- drop progress updates, receive feedback, and showcase your talents!
Links 🔗 – Any interesting articles or links for everyone to check out!
Opportunities 🤝 – Stumble across something cool? Looking for something to do? Drop it and find it all here.
Recruit 📈 - find your next co-founder, founding engineer, or lead designer!
Social 〽️ – Meet up and chat with other builders, hear about great events around campus, and more.
If you’ve just joined, just graduated, or aren’t an active member, we’d still love for you to join our Slack and stay connected with our members. The V1 Community extends beyond campus and remains with you!
Recap: Builder Showcase 🏗️
Thanks to everyone who attended our builder showcase! Special shout out to our speakers for sharing their expertise with our community, including the founders of Preet, Canopay.co, Tabs, Shade, Tour.video, and more!
If you didn’t get a chance to meet everyone, you’re in luck! We’ve compiled a builder showcase directory with what each of them are working on, how to get in contact, and any opportunities they have at their ventures.
Pro tip: we’ve added a “Hiring 🚀” badge to any founder looking to recruit top Michigan talent – reach out to them to potentially land a job this semester!
We hope that you all made valuable connections with our community. We’ll be hosting more open community events throughout the semester – make sure to join our Slack to stay up to date with future opportunities coming your way!
