Good morning @everyone! We're excited to announce our brand new through Nexus and founder @Casey Davies-Bell! Last week you all received invitations to claim your individual profiles so thank you to those that have already set theirs up.
You can view the directory link here: and through Slack + your Gildre member page. The directory now has a search functionality to recommend individuals across the community where you can also request time to connect with them directly.
If you can't find the email to your specific profile claim link just message me directly via Slack and I will re-send it. Looking forward to continuing to improve the way we form relationships!

Hey everyone- I am looking to chat with someone on the subscription based model. What is the legal entity that needs to be established and if you could share some ins and outs. Thanks!
I'm looking to apply for AWS Activate credits and see that I need to be affiliated with an AWS Activate Provider. Was looking to see if Gildre was a provider but not seeing any info on that. Anyone know how the process works to be eligible for the $100k AWS credits? Is there a good startup incubator you would recommend?
Amazing looking app, @Liam Foley thanks for sharing!
