What's happening in StartupExperts?
March is always a big month for us with Transform, and it’s been great to see many leaders choose to join StartupExperts during this time — we welcomed 70 new members in March alone! Beyond new member growth, we’ve continued to see strong engagement across the community, with thoughtful conversations, peer support, and knowledge-sharing happening daily.
It’s been especially great to see members leaning in to support one another as they navigate evolving challenges across HR, Finance, and Ops.
As part of Transform, two of our amazing long-time members and volunteer leaders, Payal Maheshwari, alongside Michelle Arieta, took the time to sit down with several people for a special version of our Becoming Better podcast series. All the interviews are now live on our YouTube channel and available on our website — feel free to watch them anytime!
Prefer listening on the go? The audio versions will be coming soon to Spotify. 🎙️
Here’s one example:

Beyond the recordings, Transform itself was a powerful reminder of what makes this community so special. Over the course of the week, we brought members together through a range of intentional experiences — from leadership workshops and curated dinners to wellness walks, live podcast interviews, and larger community gatherings.
With 150+ StartupExperts members in attendance, it was incredible to see relationships deepen, ideas exchanged, and new connections formed in real time. Transform moves fast — but creating space to pause, connect, and learn together is what makes it all meaningful.
A huge thank you to our partners who helped make this experience possible. We’re incredibly grateful to build alongside you and continue creating opportunities for our community to engage, collaborate, and grow together.
Transform was a reminder of the power of this community — and we’re excited to keep building on that energy. Whether you joined us at Transform or are engaging from afar, thank you for being part of this community.
Applications for new people to join can be found at www.StartupExperts.us—let’s keep building together!
