What services do you need as an indiehacker?
Hey IE Community,
I’ve brought on some people in my business to help me with design and marketing and thought other hackers wouldn’t mind having a microteam. It’s amazing since today I believe many companies with 1-3 founder teams could have microteams around them and wouldn’t need any additional employees if they hire a few key people to support the business.
I’m working on an idea that will help indiehackers and business owners work with curated experts in areas they don’t have strengths in without hiring them as employees.
Think of Toptal where you work with people on a weekly/monthly basis but the costs are way lower and non development services. We wouldn’t focus on development services more on marketing, content, design and business focused services.
I’m working on curating a group of people and experts based on different business needs that would be pre-vetted. It would eliminate the need of hiring any employees and I’d provide someone to manage the contractors.
I’m curious if anyone would be open to having microteammates vs just using random contractors or teams?
If so, reach out since I’d love to connect with you for feedback and thoughts. Please leave a comment!
Thanks!
This is an interesting topic.
Microteams, nimble and innovative is a good idea. Plus it’s a de risk if the microteam is wrapped around a service so that the individual can be replaced (as they jump to other projects)
I think brand / portfolios are important eg indiehacker experts all y combinator alumnis could be an interesting concept.
I like the idea of hacker/automation as a service for small startups wherein they can expect x deliverables per week/month using the most advanced tools

I’m interested in learning more. Eg, I could use a designer to spend a little bit of time on a cpl of projects from time to time.
