Hi Product Hunt!
Excited to be here and to get your feedback. 😸
Propel is the community for future builders. Emily, Scott, and I started it when we realized that peers and mentors had been crucial to our own (moderate) success, but there was no dedicated place for people like us to come together without spending a ton of money or quitting our day jobs, which none of us were ready to do yet.
Since launching this summer, we’ve grown into a tight-knit community of a couple hundred members and dozens of advisors. We were excited (and pleasantly surprised tbh) to see members of the community hire each other, invest in each other’s companies, team up to start side hustles, and build an incredibly positive support network. We’ve built out a cohort system, mentorship, mini-courses, a curated job board, off-the-record events, and more thanks to lots of input from the community itself. We’ve also started working on this full time! 😬
As we head into 2021, we know a lot of folks are thinking about their next step, whether that’s getting a promotion, switching to a new role, or starting their own thing. We wanted to start talking about Propel more publicly to invite new members to take that journey alongside all of us.
If you apply to join, you’ll get access to everything mentioned above and more. What else would be helpful to you in your journey to be a builder? We’re always looking for new things to build for the community. 🚀
Propel has been a great way to grow my network with people all over the company, in different stages of their careers, and in different industries. Propel currently has a few learning tracks. After the first few sessions of the learning track, Launching a Business, I was inspired to start thinking more critically about my ideas and knew I was not alone. Emily and I created a new group called Idea Propeller. This enabled me to share my ideas with a group of other propellers in a very open and safe place. What is most exciting about Idea Propeller is that it creates a forum for propellers to share and receive feedback on tactical next steps along with big picture questions about where the world is going in regards to their idea/industry. Definitely recommend joining this community
Connecting with others is one of the deepest human desires we have, yet we've seen at Weekend Fund that builders at the earlier stages are lacking community. Way to go, Propel!
