Ask HN: Would you join a private tech community with 30-50 members?

from the ask-hn dept.

I didn't want to post a 'Show HN' for this because it's still in development - but I'm trying to see if HN users are interested in joining small communities (30-50 users) of tech-minded people with a goal of making more meaningful connections.

Anyway I'm calling them HackerPods, https://founderpanel.com/articles/full/hackerpod and you can sign up at the bottom if you want to.

I'd love to hear any feedback, positive or negative.

Why not? If small startups have great idea, funding, good team, etc. I think tech-people will join such startup.

I hope so. I wouldn't call it a startup - I'm much more interested in figuring out how hard it is to create meaningful small communities of tech people. Really I just want to join one, and it's not like making a discussion board is hard, so I figured I'd give it a go.

That being said, I do think it's likely that some of the members of such a community would eventually partner up on a startup just as a function of knowing each other and having similar interests.

Are you willing to take junior developers like me for this community, I would love to join?

Yeah for sure. Feel free to pass the link along to anyone else you think might want to join.
