Four years ago I was a nomadic indie hacker looking for some way to connect with founders and make friends wherever I was in the world.Today, Indie Worldwide is exactly the community I wish existed back then. If you're a bootstrapped founder, then I'd love for you to join the crew.Not sure? We have a three-month money-back guarantee. If you change your mind any time in the first 3 months, just message me any time for a full refund.
- Anthony Castrio, Host & Founder
