Startups.com (styled StartupsCo) is an education-focused startup platform founded in 2012 by ๐Wil Schroter, consolidating a portfolio of tools that support founders across fundraising, planning, mentorship, and staffing.
The platform brought together Fundable.com (equity fundraising, over $300 million raised), Launchrock.com (early customer acquisition), ๐Clarity.fm (on-demand mentorship access), and Bizplan.com (business planning) under one roof. In 2015, Startups.com acquired Zirtual, a virtual-staffing service that had abruptly paused operations after running into utilization problems โ Schroter framed the deal as rescuing a sound product, not a broken one, and relaunched the service. All five products continue to operate under Schroter's leadership as a consolidated founder-support platform.
