Using Upstream has become my favorite way to build my professional community. ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2021-02-10, version 1.7.91* Can’t get enough of this app. It’s been more than helpful both professional and personally. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2021-01-21, version 1.7.88* Great communities, people, and product design in this app. A really great experience for professionals who have only experienced Linkedin ### 5/5 — Super cool app! *2021-01-12, version 1.7.87* If zoom, linkedin, and meetup had a baby, it would be Upstream! So nice! ### 5/5 — Meet new people *2021-01-07, version 1.7.86* One of the best resources to network. This company is one to watch! ### 5/5 — 😛 *2020-08-22, version 1.7.53* 非常好👍🏻 me like it ! ### 5/5 — Excellent professional resource *2020-04-30, version 1.7.22* I’ve met tons of quality connections through upstream— an invaluable resource. Better quality of connection overall than twitter/linkedin. really great tool for people who work in tech, VC. ### 5/5 — Amazing professional tool *2020-01-29, version 1.0* This app is incredible! Everyone is so helpful and it’s great to be able to help others as well. I even got a job with the help of the amazing people on Upstream! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-01-27, version 1.0* This has been an amazing community to tap into for recruiting. Everyone is super helpful and it almost feels like all candidates are pre-screened. Makes my life a lot easier lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No referral code so I’m spam? *2021-03-12, version 1.7.94* I made an account to network but I was identified as spam before I could join a group or message anyone. I emailed help@ and support@ but neither has replied. I was really hoping this would be a cross between Meetup and LinkedIn. 🤷‍♀️👩‍💻 ### 1/5 — NOT MY JAM *2021-02-28, version 1.7.94* This app is focused more on making my own groups than joining others. Requested to join several other groups and they’re still PENDING after 3 weeks. Also trying to filter out by region or group you want to network with is a total pain. On a positive note I did like the work hours feature. I was hoping for a LinkedIn alternative. But, for me, this is NOT a good app to help build my business. ### 2/5 — No real point to this app *2021-04-19, version 1.7.96* I joined this app excited to find a professional community but I honestly don’t get the point of the app. It’s just a bunch of “rooms” you request access to and then people just ask for intros/advice. It’s like a Twitter for questions but most of the time people don’t respond. Why would I scroll through a bunch of strangers’ questions in my free time? Bottomline there’s not a lot of community-building, it feels like it’s more of a transactional space. Only nice thing is that there are office hours but that’s about it. ### 5/5 — Best High-End Professional Networking App *2021-09-07, version 1.7.109* Upstream is, bar none, the best networking app since the early days of LinkedIn. Whether you’re an entry or mid-level employee, an investor, an exec, a gig worker or the founder or CEO of any company, there are great communities on Upstream for you. I participate in eight of them and just founded my own community. I meet great new colleagues at every online event I attend. If you don’t join, you’re doing yourself a disservice. ### 5/5 — 10/10 would recommend! *2021-03-31, version 1.7.95* Upstream is the best networking resource I have encountered. It’s a very powerful professional networking platform and I am so excited to see what the future holds for this company. It’s going to reach such high heights. Watch this space. ### 5/5 — Real relationship-building, not fake networking *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* The BEST way to learn from experts AND build real, strong, values-aligned relationships with people who are genuinely are looking for ways they can support each other. ### 5/5 — Great community-centric networking *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* Upstream is the best professional networking experience I’ve had. Connections are more genuine, productive, and personal, and the product itself is clean and easy to use. ### 5/5 — The most helpful place online *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* Upstream is the most helpful place to be online, full stop. The platform has fostered an environment where communities are supported as accessible, inclusive spaces and the events are the best use of your time minute for minute than anywhere else I’ve seen. ### 5/5 — Best networking app! *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* This is what LinkedIn wishes it was. It’s been such a godsend for networking in this isolated period! Love the communities and so excited about the future of Upstream! ### 5/5 — Amazing for community engagement *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* The best app to meet people and create your community! ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Favorite App! *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* Upstream is such a great resource. It makes networking fun and has allowed me to meet fascinating people who have become friends & collaborators. The community on Upstream is positive, warm and eager to help when I ask for advice. Cannot recommend it enough! ### 5/5 — Great App for Genuine Connection *2021-03-29, version 1.7.95* Upstream is an incredible app for genuine connection. It is wonderful to be a part of the joy soldier community on upstream.
