I decided to start a Discord for it, it's been on my mind for a while. I'm not interested in the VC moonshot culture, and frankly am not in the location for it anyway. I also don't care for SEO marketing ploys and hustle bullshit. The community values I would want in a community like that are: * A focus on building products that meet real world problems * Pragmatism, stability and longevity in your products * Discussions about bootstrapping with real customers * Investment can be useful but it shouldn't be a stand in for a real business model * Realistically these are businesses, money is a real factor, but no get rich quick schemes, we're just trying to get sensibly rich slowly * No narcissistic hustle bullshit, no marketing ploys

Count me in! I’d very much be interested in joining such a community.

  I popped a link in my profile. It would be good if it were a nice smallish community so I am trying not to spam it around.

Where can I join this? :) This goes into the direction of something I heard of in the past as "slow business". I started a (now rather small) list, together with the lost manifesto: https://v01.io/2021/01/13/slow-business-list/ https://v01.io/2021/01/13/slow-business-list/

  Slow business is a great term for it, that is the antithesis for grow-fast or burn out trying style companies. I love seeing businesses that grew naturally out of a grass roots need, tied directly to real world industry or community needs. Check the link in my profile!

      Yep, try the new one! Thought I would limit the first invite but it's already expired.
