There's a ton of coding bootcamps out there, but I'm not aware of any camps that teach you everything else you need to know to launch a successful product: idea validation, branding, onboarding, UX, user acquisition, sales, launching…
Now of course it would be hard to teach all of that in a single camp, but maybe you could at least teach the basics?
I think it's an experiment worth trying, which is why we're organizing IndieDojo, a one-week bootcamp this fall in Kyoto, Japan:
I have a lot of experience bootstrapping and launching projects, and my partner Maciej has run a lot of coding camps before. And we're currently searching for a third instructor to complement our skills.
So altogether, I think this could be a very cool opportunity. And I would love to know what the IH community thinks!
P.S. Just to clarify, we're not affiliated with IH itself. We just thought that "indie" perfectly described our audience (that would be you!). And yes I checked with Courtland first :)
please add me to your mailing list zack@codefor.cash and let me know how it goes. My friend/coauthor Jay and I were thinking about launching something similar.
I really like the idea. This bootcamp seems like a more opinionated version of an incubator, focused on staying independent. Travel/location is a concern for me but if I can sort it out and identify a project to take to this bootcamp I will sign up.
