what it is
Founders Network has run invite-only peer mentorship since 2011, splitting its 600-plus members into Bootstrap, Angel and Series A+ groups so advice comes from someone one step ahead rather than ten. Startup perks and a success coach sit on top of the forum.

what it is
Indie Hackers is where solo founders post their MRR, their churn and the month it all went sideways. Free to read and post, with an optional IH+ tier on top. The default first stop for anyone building without funding.
