PartnerUp's core functionality centers around connecting entrepreneurially-spirited people who have common goals. PartnerUp helps entrepreneurs and businesses find the potential business partners, executives, board members, and skilled professionals that they need to make their venture a success. Concurrently, they help professionals (accountants, lawyers, and marketing people to name a few) find opportunities to become involved in helping to grow businesses by using their skills and experience. Finally, they provide a community for building lasting business relationships (and, in many cases, friendships) with others who share the same business and/or career goals.
