Our new H2 WhatsApp Community aims to support cross Chapter community building and connections across H2's global member network. Please see below for additional information including our initial channel structure, sharing guidelines and launch timeline. 

 

Channels & Participants

Our H2 WhatsApp Community features the following initial channel framework to connect H2 members both within and across Chapters around key community sharing use cases (links lead to current participant lists by channel):

 

By Chapter

  • Chapters: H2 members affiliated with each of our global Chapters

By Region

  • APAC: H2 members affiliated with our Asia Pacific (APAC) Chapters
  • EMEA: H2 members affiliated with our Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) Chapters
  • LATAM: H2 members affiliated with our Latin America (LATAM) Chapters
  • NA: H2 members affiliated with our North America (NA) Chapters

By Profile 

  • Founder/CEOs: H2 members globally who are Founders and/or CEOs of active VC backed companies
  • Investors: H2 members globally who are investors with early to growth stage VC funds and PE firms

Note: to maintain the integrity of participant profiles by channel, H2 members will be added/invited to participate based on their respective profiles. Channel affiliations may be changed from time to time based on H2 member profile changes. Channels marked as open [O] may be joined by any H2 member.

 

Sharing Guidelines

Our primary sharing use cases across channels are listed below. Participants are expected to keep to the spirit of the H2 community and maintain a professional context (no advertising, jokes, religious/political threads, etc).

 

  • Leads & Needs
  • Industry News & Insights
  • Flash Sessions (Digital)
  • Member Welcomes & Successes
  • Event Opportunities
  • Research & Reports
  • Recommended Vendors

Additionally, we will be developing content initatives (e.g. Featured Member of the Week, polling streams, etc.) aimed at driving engagement and activity across our channels.
