A story of merging indie businesses :)
--
As of today, the Indie London and IndieBeers communities join forces to create one place for London Indie Hackers to learn, connect, and help each other.
The community now lives under the unified Indie London name with a newsletter, a Slack community, flagship Indie London events, social IndieBeers events, and much more to come.
I first met @charlierward through Indie London, in 2018, just after he had hosted the first IndieBeer event. It was exciting to see new initiatives spring in the community: it meant that whatever happened to Indie London meetups, the community would stay alive through Charlie and the work of others.
Now that I have moved to Oslo, I will be phasing out my involvement in the London community (but still hang around!). I am excited to partner up with Charlie and leave the community in his hands.
There is a lot we are working on as part of this transition, and there will be more to come. 馃敎
See you all soon :)
Excited and grateful to have been featured on the Indie Hackers podcast to talk about the Indie London events.
(It's my first time on a podcast and I have been grinning like a Cheshire cat every time I open the Apple Podcasts app and see my name there 馃槄馃樃)
Running the community has brought me so much over the last year, among all new friendships.
Thanks @csallen for starting it all online with @IndieHackers
so that we can make many new friends offline 馃
And thanks to all that helped along the way:
@dmitrigrabov for his advice, @RossySheil for the early support, @MrGrillet for helping since day 1, @charlierward for taking London to the next level, @NiteshSharoff, @alexterenda, @anthilemoon, the team @inreachventures, our speakers and all
that helped throughout our events 馃檹
The podcast conversation prompted me to write up all my learnings from running the community.
As I mention, there is a great amount of positive energy coming from bringing passionate people together. I encourage everyone to start their own group. 馃敟

I welcomed again last evening a great crowd of entrepreneurs and bootstrappers for the 7th Indie London event.
The event emphasized stories of success that do not come from technology but first and foremost from solving real customer problems.
Our first speaker Johnny Boufarhat shared how he started with a purpose - to genuinely create real connection online - and iterated until he solved a real customer problem with Hopin.
Second, Masibu Manima shared how his side-projects have gone on to generate 拢1m in revenue - with no code; by focusing on solving real people problems rather than trying to lead with a software solution.
Finally, we were lucky to have a lightning talk from Holly Leslie of Adla - just back from the latest YC Summer batch in Silicon Valley.
I am very grateful to have the opportunity to host such inspiring speakers at the Indie London events and get support from companies such as Cloudflare, Inc.
A new home page featuring more pictures.
I wanted something warmer that highlight the energy that you get from meeting other indie makers at our events.
The page feature pictures, reviews and links to the different way you can join us: Meetup.com, Slack group...
