Building Products & Communities That Truly Connect – AMA with Jonas Lindemann (@coapp)

Hi everyone, I’m Jonas – Co-Founder of coapp. We’ll be launching @coapp soon right here on PH, and I’m excited to connect with you ahead of the launch.

Over the past years, I’ve founded and built several companies at the intersection of community, technology, and new ways of working. From an innovation hub that became a thriving ecosystem for collaboration, to coapp – a platform designed for one purpose:

To help people organise, communicate, and collaborate in ways that strengthen relationships and create measurable impact.

At coapp, we asked ourselves: Why do so many of the tools we use feel like they create more noise than real connection? And why do we spend so much time and energy on platforms we don’t own, just to maintain our own communities? We believe it’s possible to build products that help communities thrive — and that support both authentic connection and meaningful KPIs.

This AMA is for anyone curious about:

• Building startups that balance human connection with business impact.

• Designing products where relationships and metrics go hand in hand.

• Growing communities and teams that are more than just numbers.

• Lessons learned along the way — including what didn’t work.
  

Looking forward to your questions and the exchange of ideas.

Topics I’m happy to talk about

• Starting and growing companies at the intersection of technology, community, and new work.

• Designing tools that help communities build value — not just engagement for engagement’s sake.

• Balancing focus, openness, KPIs, and values in early-stage products.

• Building teams that care about what they do and the people they do it for.

• Well, and everything else ;)

I hope this AMA will be a space for honest, open conversation about what it really takes to build products, startups, and communities that connect people — and deliver meaningful results.

Ask me anything — I’m looking forward to it.
