Indie Hackers Peer Groups
Grow your startup in six months.
"You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." But most indie hackers work alone. Struggle alone. Even celebrate alone. Because they don't know others who are following the same path.So we're putting together peer groups of ambitious indie hackers. We'll meet up in real life, at regular intervals, and accelerate one another's progress. These are groups for people who are serious about learning together, holding each other accountable, and breaking through barriers to grow their businesses to the next level.We'll be starting with three intimate groups of 6-12 people. One led by Courtland in Seattle, one led by Channing in NYC, and one led by Kaia Colban in SF. The groups will each meet every other week, for six months.
