Community Matching Early Access

Colado Connects

Whether you met someone at a Colado event and want to go deeper, or you've never been in the same room, Colado Connects pairs you with someone in the network for one real, intentional conversation. Meet someone new or keep a connection going. Virtual or in person.

We're building this. Submit your profile now and you'll be among the first matched when we launch. We'll reach out personally.

Submit Your Profile

How It Works

Three steps. One real connection.

01

Tell us about you

Fill out the short form. It takes about 5 minutes. The more you give us, the better the match.

02

We make the match

We review every submission by hand and find the person in our network who makes the most sense for you right now.

03

You connect

We'll reach out by email when your match is ready. From there it's yours - virtual, in-person, coffee. Whatever works.

Colado Connects is open to anyone in the Colado community, whether you've been to one of our events or you're brand new to the network. We're collecting profiles now and will start making matches once we have enough members. You'll be first in line.

Question 1 of 8 Pregunta 1 de 8

01 What are you building, doing, or working on right now? ¿Qué estás construyendo, haciendo o trabajando ahora mismo?

Your business, your side project, your idea - whatever's taking up your brain space. Be specific, there are no wrong answers.

Tu negocio, tu proyecto, tu idea - lo que sea que ocupe tu mente. Sé específico/a, no hay respuestas incorrectas.

02 How would you describe where you're at with what you just told us about? ¿Cómo describirías dónde estás con lo que acabas de contarnos?

03 What would make a connection actually useful for you right now? ¿Qué haría que una conexión fuera realmente útil para ti ahora mismo?

Be specific. "Someone who has figured out how to get clients" lands better than "networking." The more real you are, the better the match.

Sé específico/a. "Alguien que haya descubierto cómo conseguir clientes" funciona mejor que "networking." Cuanto más real seas, mejor el match.

04 What do you bring to the table for someone else? ¿Qué tienes para ofrecer a otra persona?

What could you teach, offer, or help with? Don't be humble - someone out there needs exactly what you have.

¿Qué podrías enseñar, ofrecer o con qué podrías ayudar? No seas modesto/a - alguien necesita exactamente lo que tú tienes.

05 What's something about you that has nothing to do with work? ¿Qué hay de ti que no tenga nada que ver con el trabajo?

A hobby, something you're obsessed with, something people wouldn't guess. This one matters more than you think.

Un hobby, algo que te obsesiona, algo que la gente no adivinaría. Este importa más de lo que crees.

06 How do you want to connect with your match? ¿Cómo quieres conectar con tu match?

07 Anything else we should know before we make the match? ¿Hay algo más que debamos saber antes de hacer el match?

Optional - but the more you give us, the better we can do.

Opcional - pero cuanto más nos des, mejor podemos hacerlo.

This one's optional. Skip it if you're good.

Esta es opcional. Pásala si ya está.

08 Last thing - what's your name and email? Ultima cosa - ¿cuál es tu nombre y correo electrónico?

We'll reach out when your match is ready. We don't spam. Ever.

Te avisaremos cuando tu match esté listo. No enviamos spam. Nunca.
