friends of next play - guide to making the most
welcome to our community!
Hello and welcome to friends of next play, our premium membership that gives you access to a bunch more resources—a startup discovery platform, invites to virtual events, a directory of potential collaborators, and much more detailed below—to help you on your journey. (If you’re not currently in friends of next play, you can join here).
Some quick background: My name is Ben Lang—I helped start next play after spending nearly five years as an early employee at Notion because I’m passionate about helping people figure out what’s next. The purpose of our premium membership (friends of next play) is to give you extra resources (and to hopefully build a tight-knit community of curious people). So far, people have really liked it.
Making the most of friends of next play is not particularly straightforward because over time we’ve added a whole bunch of things that could potentially add a lot of value for you. So I wrote this quick guide to help you sort through it all.
Platform
Your premium membership gives you access to the “next play platform,” which shows you a hand-curated selection of under-the-radar opportunities and companies. The platform makes it easy to filter by important attributes like location, role, and other relevant tags.
