Do a quick Google search for “young entrepreneurs” and sure enough you’ll come across a wide variety of entrepreneurship forums for you to bask in. I think that entrepreneurship forums are absolutely great for all entrepreneurs – especially young ones just starting out – to share ideas, thoughts, and get feedback. It’s all a part of the learning process.
Here’s a list of some forums that I have recently encountered:
Startup Nation is a full-blown entrepreneurship community. From articles, blogs, podcasts, events, and forums, you’re sure to find plenty of resourceful information there. Though their focus doesn’t seem to be on young entrepreneurship, I would tend to think that many young entrepreneurs also frequent this community.
If you’ve been an active young internet entrepreneur, you have surely heard about Young Entrepreneur forums. It’s a well established forum with a thriving community. Based upon the questions being asked on the forum – “With a brand-new site that I have just gotten on-line, and the need to generate some quick revenue to continue on, would it be a reasonable idea to buy traffic to my site, and, if so, whom would you all recommend?” – it seems as though the community has plenty of fresh entrepreneurs looking for advice.
Last but not least, we have Young CEO Forum. It doesn’t really stand out from the rest, but I am sure that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot and see what happens. You never know, someone on one of these forums may be your next business partner that you will go off to make millions with.
All in all, I think that entrepreneurship forums can be extremely helpful to the budding entrepreneur. However, I feel that they are all one in the same. I see no originality or “wow-factors” from any of them. It’s always the same old topics and same old bulletin board software – usually just another template thrown on to change the design. I have yet to see one forum that has truly separated itself from the pack. Hopefully someone will create that forum one day.
Forum on!

We’ve tried our best to separate oursevles from the pack you speak about, and are pretty content with the relationships we’ve helped develop over the past few months.
It’s a really competitive market, and I think it’d be best if we all just worked together. YGG, Mind Petals, YE, and Startup Nation could be the ultimate panel for insightful discussions if someone was willing to organize a get together. *wink*
Hey Travis. Yeah, I’m sure that it’s definitely a competitive market, indeed. Hmmm.. excellent idea: we should have a nice discussion, possibly a podcast, eh? Now that would be interesting. Let’s talk about this further. Keep up the good work.
