āØ Meeting up in the meta-verse (no goggles required)
We're trying out some new meeting spaces this week. First up is an in-browser 3D space called Huddle. It's basically a video game where we can meet and hang out for an hour. Nothing to install. No goggles necessary.
Join the 20+ indie founders who've already registered to talk shop, get inspired, and maybe meet your next co-founder, partner or mentor.
Here's what it looked like with just two people in it when Mash and I demo'd the space last week:
š§ Butter, Toast, & Bootstrapped Startups
Second up, we've got Paul Back to co-host our APAC-timed meetup. We're trying out a new venue here too called Butter which promises to be something likeĀ Zoom on crack.
Rumor has it there might be an interesting speaker on their way to spark off the good energy.
See you there š
š£ Indie Worldwide is looking for sponsors
If you're interested in reaching 5,000+ bootstrapped startup founders and indie makers, I'd love to hear from you.
This newsletter reaches indie makers from all around the world, from founders just starting off to companies making millions every month.
Thanks to one of our members, it's now easier than ever to become a sponsor. Big shoutout toĀ JensĀ & his team for building great software and letting us be one of the first communities to use it.
Last week I co-hosted a strategy call withĀ Samantha WilliamsĀ (data analyst) diving deep into the strategies I used to grow from 0 to 1,000 followers and from 1,000 to 10,000 followers on Twitter.
We covered what it takes, how to get there faster, and why you should (or shouldn't) invest your time into audience building.
You can watch the full recording here (unlisted link):
If you prefer to read, one of the attendees took the trouble of doing a full write up as well whichĀ you can read here.
