Ask IH: how to meet other indie hackers / first time founders new to the bay area?
Hi all!
Moving to the SV bay area has been on my agenda for quite some time. Due to life etc, I haven't committed to that yet. Now that I'm building a business, I'm revisiting that idea.
I've been to SF a few times, but haven't been impressed in terms of meetability.
So I'm thinking of going out there again, but this time centering on places south of SF, like San Mateo, Palo Alto, etc, with small but vibrant walkable downtown areas. Do I have the right idea about these places?
Or are they dead and is SF the best place to be to meet indie hackers? Basically I'm curious if there's a place with the same kind of vibe as this community, but IRL. Would the best place be a specific cafe, or a particular WeWork, or is this newcomeer meeting environment usually just contained to the university campuses?
Sorry if I'm not wording this properly. I don't see a lot of posts on this topic, so it may be a weird set of questions to understand.
SF is probably the best place. There are tons of startup-related events all over, however.
The whole Bay Area is mostly high-growth startup people rather than indie hackers, to be honest, but there are always some people with profitable companies that aren't raising money or can't.
Thanks for the reply. That's good to know. I guess I haven't really hit the meetup circuit in SF, so next time I go I'll go hard with that :)
You're right, the indiehacker community is probably still kind of small. Most people are in the mindset that raising VC funds is the only way (and I was one of them until just last year!).
SF is probably the best place. Wow, Thank you so much as i was exactly looking for this. Keep it up.

I'd suggest coming to downtown Oakland @post. I put together a monthly meetup group in Oakland for software developers. If you're in town for a future event definitely come through https://www.meetup.com/Full-Stack-Development-Meetup-Group
