Indie Hackers Minneapolis
Indie Hackers Meetup in Minneapolis, MN
Running the meetup continues to be rewarding with new and interesting conversations every month. Attendance has been relatively steady numbers with new people and a couple people returning.
For the future, I'm planning to work with tech.mn, an online publication for MN tech, to promote the event.
I want to make an impact for entrepreneurs in my community and organizing the meetup and getting more people involved feels like a good way to do that.
Despite low attendance this meetup was the most fruitful one that I've hosted so far. Absolutely loved the insights shared by the attendees.
It was a leap for me to put myself out there and say that I would be responsible for organizing this meetup for my city but it's been one of the best decisions that I've made in quite a while.
It has been awesome to make connections with other indie hackers in the area and share the ups and downs of starting self-funded businesses.

Keep it up. I lived in Minneapolis from 2007 to 2015. Amazing city and people. I wish there was this Meetup when I was there. Kudos!

I always get the most out of small meets. Having conversations it often the best part of it and often it is so hard to do that with big meetups.

So true, some of the best indie hacker conversations I get are one on one.

congrats. meetsups are kind of like startups, pretty hard to get off the ground, but once you get them rolling, remain consistent, and provide something of value the attendance numbers usually grow.
The efficacy of word of mouth endorsements I think is seriously underestimated.
I appreciate the response and I'm looking forward to hosting many more
