🧠 Mastermind Groups for Indie Hackers

Hello Indie Hackers 👋

So last month I piloted the mastermind program for solopreneurs -

  • SaaS founders
  • Content Entrepreneurs
  • Service Business Owners (Freelancers, Consultants, Agencies etc.)

The concept is this -

  • You become a part of a group of 4 founders.
  • Every week the group meets for an hour long zoom call.
  • 1 founder has a hot seat every call.
  • They can share their challenges, pain points, new ideas.
  • Rest of the group brainstorms solutions to their problems during the call.
  • This repeats every week for 4 weeks.
  • There's a slack community for asynchronous feedback and accountability for your weekly goals.

There's an external facilitator (me) to manage the logistics so the experience is hassle free for members.

Groups are assigned based on time zones, business model and business stage.

12 people signed up for the pilot in July. So I had 3 groups of 4 people each.

The program for the pilot groups ends today.

And I'm glad to report that the results have been really good!

Everyone has got tremendous clarity in their work because of the hot seat sessions.

Depending on each individual's challenges, we've discussed every aspect of solopreneurship -

  • Finding a niche
  • Product Ideas
  • Validation
  • Pricing
  • Positioning
  • Sales and Marketing

The whole range.

1 of the members reached $0-$200 MRR within 3 weeks of his hot seat 🤩

You can read more testimonials here, here and here.

And a detailed review in this thread.

I've opened up registrations for the August masterminds now. I think there is value in this idea so I want to pursue it further and make it even better for the members who join.

If you're looking for honest feedback, accountability and support in your indie hacking journey, then you will benefit tremendously from the program.

You can find out more details about how the program works and all the bonuses on the landing page 👇

I'm also introducing async chat hot seats, 1:1 founder intros and co-working sessions very soon.

Let me know if you have any questions/comments/suggestions around what you will like to see in the program.

Cheers,
Ayush

    Hey this is a great idea 👍 If it's not too crazy, can we try hosting them on Vibehut.io?

    We can make a video call room for IH masterminds specifically and we can make public events that IH'ers can RSVP for.

    Vibehut.io is a video platform like Zoom

    Why Vibehut.io:

    • persisted video calls
    • rooms can be limited to 2,4,8,16 ppl
    • events you can RSVP for
    • Login with their Twitter, LinkedIn, MetaMask makes for warm introductions
    • record your calls
    • download your calls in TikTok (vertical), YouTube (horizontal), audio only
    • built in call count tracking to build up a reputation for being a conversationalist
