A community is never made up of just its founders or organizers.
Some come because of an event; others show up with an unfinished project. Some are willing to share their experiences; others are good at connecting scattered people and opportunities.
Participant
Participants are everyone who walks into TechFlows for the first time.
You might have just started paying attention to AI, open source, hackathons, or tech entrepreneurship — or you might just be curious about a topic without a clear project or direction yet.
You can attend an event, meet people in motion, hear different experiences, and ask questions that don't have answers yet.
Here, participating is not just watching. Many new directions begin the first time you show up.
Creator
Creators are those who have already started trying.
You might be developing a tool, joining a hackathon, pushing forward a campus project, maintaining an open-source work, or just starting your first entrepreneurial attempt.
Projects don't need to be mature enough, or already have a complete team and impressive metrics.
What we care more about: why you started, how far you've come, what problem you're solving, and what kind of fellow travelers you still need.
Sharer
Experience in the community shouldn't belong only to a few experts.
A failed team formation, a competition that didn't win, a product direction overturned again and again — any of these could be an important reference for someone else.
Sharers can be tech practitioners, project initiators, hackathon participants, or ordinary members who have just completed their first practice.
We welcome mature approaches and respect explorations still in progress.
Recorder
Many projects stop updating after competitions end, and many valuable conversations disappear as events wrap up. Recorders pay attention to these easily overlooked processes.
Through writing, imagery, interviews, design, and content creation, they document what really happens at events, and how someone generates ideas, forms teams, faces problems, and keeps moving forward.
Recording is not simply promotion. It's about preserving shared experiences for the community, and giving those not yet seen a chance to be understood.
Connector
Someone has an idea but lacks a technical partner. Someone has development skills but hasn't found a project worth committing to long-term. Someone else has venues, competitions, mentors, or industry resources, and is looking for the right team.
What a connector does isn't simply exchanging contact info. It's first understanding a person's abilities, project, and real needs, then helping a meaningful encounter happen.
TechFlows can't guarantee every connection will produce results. But we believe that before many things begin, it's just one right person you haven't met yet.
Co-builder
Co-builders are those willing to move from participant to contributor.
They might help plan and execute an event, document a project's story, maintain the community's technical products, connect universities and partners, or start a new exchange in their own city.
Becoming a co-builder doesn't mean getting a title. It means being willing to take responsibility for one concrete thing, and to complete it together with others.
TechFlows is still a young community. Future events, projects, and city networks won't be decided by just a few core members — they'll be shaped together by each person willing to participate.
Roles are not ranks, but ways to participate
At TechFlows, there is no fixed promotion path from ordinary member to core member.
One person can be both a creator and a sharer, or first come as a participant, then become a recorder, connector, or co-builder.
What we care more about is not what identity you hold, but how you're willing to participate.
Everyone participates differently, but all are making new things happen
