For Partners

Your reach.
Our runway.

Universities, corporations, and economic development organizations use OSN to reach founders, entrepreneurs, and tech investors they can't reach alone — through a shared calendar, a shared directory, and a shared audience.

What You Get

Three ways OSN extends your reach.

Calendar Visibility

Submit your events to the shared OSN calendar — pitch nights, workshops, demo days — and reach founders and investors who aren't already on your list.

Directory Placement

Get featured in the OSN directory alongside the startups and investors actively searching it.

Network Access

Tap into a statewide audience of founders and investors instead of building one city at a time.

Anchor Partners

Building the ecosystem alongside us.

University Partners

Where OSN meets the classroom.

Ecosystem Partners

The network behind the network.

Work With OSN

Three ways to plug in.

01

02

Host a HustleBus stop

Bring the road tour to your city. Stops are added on a rolling basis based on local demand and partner support. See the program →

03

List your programs

Register, then manage your listing and submit your resources so founders find them. Members can send you intro requests. Register as a partner →

Submit an Event

Get on the calendar.

OSN's events calendar runs on Luma. Submit your event there and it becomes part of the shared, statewide calendar every founder and investor in the network can see.
