90% of Indie Hackers fail alone. Here's what we're doing to change that
As the name "Solopreneur" suggests, we work alone.
But this is our biggest downfall
Because we win alone... and we lose alone
There's a research paper that showed that employees that had social support showed a significant increase in their motivation and performance
As Indie Hackers, we're no stranger to failure, but with each failure creates a snowball of demotivation, leading to eventually become the biggest threat to our journeys
That's why when I saw the post "Founder hours / Virtual Coffees" and the overwhelming number of comments of people that shared the same feeling, I knew that there was an issue here. That the key to this journey was finding the right people to succeed with
That's why I teamed up with Albert to create Foundermeetup.dev x Dailybot. A product geared towards Indie Hackers to find like minded people to work through this journey together.
As the truest form of the MVP, we created the IndieHackers Coffee Lounge that uses DailyBot's matching system to help Indie Hackers pair up and connect with others.
Join the discord and sign up at Foundermeetup.dev to get notified about the official launch
this is why communities like this and the Twitter indie space are so important
network with other founders, learn from them, and fail together!
some of the most famous people in this space have more failures than all of us, and it's important to remember that when facing hardships
Hard agree with this. The truth is, the best indie hackers out there have failed more times then most of us have even tried
Great idea, joined the discord
Thanks for joining, looking forward to seeing you there!
Thanks for sharing. I'll join the discord.
Bdw I'm running a product design subscription agency as a designer, will the discord helpful for me?
Yea it definitely is, spoke to another guy that's doing the same thing and purposely connects with other Indie Hackers to find clients
I not necessarily people to do things together, but I usually need to share. So talking to people about their and my entrepreneur journeys, and learnings is a good idea.
I've been solo for nearly 2 years. It's hard. The only advantage is that you don't have to pay anyone.
Thanks for your efforts creating this I’m one of those people who got recently burnt out trying to do many things by myself
Those who work together, thrive together. I'm glad you joined, I'm looking forward to connecting with you there!
I tied to join on the website but looks like something is broken and it doesn't work:
TRPCClientError: target: email-list.-.primary: vttablet: rpc error: code = NotFound desc = Table 'email-list.users' doesn't exist (errno 1146) (sqlstate 42S02) (CallerID: s6gi7u57o945cf4ys2qy): Sql: "insert into users(id, email) values (default, :vtg1 /* VARCHAR */)", BindVars: {REDACTED} at l.from (https://www.foundermeetup.dev/_next/static/chunks/223-3df9a476ca0c5551.js:9:30000) at https://www.foundermeetup.dev/_next/static/chunks/223-3df9a476ca0c5551.js:9:33897
