Community details

Written by the community owners

A free community for employed professionals building a business while keeping their day job. The founder runs monthly business experiments and shares every detail publicly. Real numbers, real failures, real wins. Members get twice-weekly updates with actual data from each experiment. They can run the same experiments alongside the founder or adapt them to their situation. The community focuses on people building in small time windows, not those who've already quit their jobs. Most business advice assumes you have unlimited time. This doesn't.

Niki is building a business in public, while having a job and a family!

Niki is building a business in public, while having a job and a family! I recently joined Niki's community and I really like it there. I admire how bravely and openly Niki is sharing her journey of building a business while having a full time job and a family. As someone with a big family and other commitments myself, I learn from Niki. My favorite part is that Niki is treating everything as an experiment .

If you have a job, a family, other commitments, but still want to build a business, this is the best place to learn that, and to find your people!
