How it started

It began with a camera and three questions.

I went to Upstream Festival to record a YouTube video interviewing founders, investors and builders. I asked everyone the same three questions:

1. What are you building?
2. What challenges are you facing?
3. What is your ask to the people watching?

And I got great advice in return:

“Talk to your customers.” “Never play safe.” “Do something that moves you.”

That video was not just content. It was the first step towards something bigger: a network where sharing what you are building, what you need, and who you want to meet actually leads to the right introductions.

That is the idea behind Conectora.

The first video — Upstream Festival: founders, investors and builders share what they’re building and what they need.

How it works

Real needs, matched with real offers.

Most networks collect contacts. Conectora matches what you need with what someone else offers — whether that is a person, an event, a course or an experience.

Share your offer & your ask

Create your profile and tell us what you offer and what you are looking for — professional or personal, big or small.

We match you

We curate the network by hand and connect you with the people, events, courses and activities most relevant to your ask — personally, not algorithmically spammed.

Get visibility

Interviews, matches and stories get featured on YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok — so the network grows and you get seen.

The scope

Not only business. Everything.

Any real need can find its match here. These are the kinds of connections happening in the network:

Investors ↔ Entrepreneurs

Capital looking for projects, projects looking for capital.

Cofounder ↔ Cofounder

Technical meets commercial. Vision meets execution.

Researchers ↔ Researchers

Peers in your field — for papers, projects and labs.

Private equity ↔ Succession

Funds meeting companies looking for their next owner.

Recruiters ↔ Talent

The right role and the right person, without the noise.

Japan lovers ↔ Japan lovers

Planning that trip to Japan? Meet the people to do it with.

…and events, courses, workshops, masterclasses, dinners and experiences. If it answers a real need, it belongs here.

🎓 Already in the network

We also run masterclasses.

Like this marketing masterclass with Nina Welt (monoko media): three real growth cases, broken down live — a bachata academy in Amsterdam fighting fierce competition, a B2B M&A software entering a closed, relationship-driven market, and Conectora itself.

Masterclasses, workshops and live sessions are part of what members get access to.

The content engine

Visibility is part of the deal.

Every event we attend, every person we interview, every match we make becomes content. That content brings notoriety and visibility to the people in the network — and brings new relevant people into it.

From pitch nights in Amsterdam to festival interviews and masterclasses: there is a lot of talent out there, and what people need most is visibility, conversations, and access to the right network.

“Events like this give founders something extremely valuable: visibility, conversations, and access to the right network.”

“Building a highly connected human network where people can share what they are building, what they need, and who they want to meet — and actually get connected with relevant opportunities.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Conectora? +

Conectora is a curated human network. Every member shares two things: what they offer and what they are looking for. We then match those real needs with real offers — introducing people to each other, but also to events, courses, workshops, masterclasses and experiences that answer their ask. It is not another social feed: it is a matching engine run with human judgment.

Who is it for? +

Anyone with a real need or a real offer: professionals looking for their next role, recruiters looking for talent, investors looking for projects, founders looking for cofounders or capital, researchers looking for peers, public institutions looking for innovators — and also people planning a trip, learning a skill, or looking for others who share an interest. If your ask is genuine, there is a place for it here.

How do matches actually happen? +

You create a profile with your offer and your ask. We review every profile personally and, when we find a relevant counterpart — a person, an event, a course — we make a direct introduction. Your contact details stay private by default: your email and phone are never shared, and introductions always happen with your knowledge.

What does it cost? +

Joining the network is free. Create your profile, tell us what you need, and you are in.

Why the videos and the social content? +

Content is how the network grows and how members get visibility. We interview members at events, feature their projects and asks on YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok, and publish the matches and stories that come out of the network. Being featured means new relevant people discover you — and discover Conectora.

Which is the one connection you are looking for?
