People often ask me this question: How do I start building a community?
Don’t start from scratch.
Your first members are already in other communities.
Borrow their energy. Serve the unserved.
That’s how I built Grittiest community (peak COVID 2020), inspired by eChai & SaaSBoomi, HeadStart, TiE Local chapters, Super Morpheus, and more serving founders authentically.
My goal was to enable founders from 2nd/3rd-tier cities building Startups to get support in their journey to overcome challenges.
By the end of 2020, it had supported 170+ founders.
We generally forget ...
The most loyal members often come from the margins, not the mainstream.
