Hacka calls

------ What is it?

A group of indie makers doing video calls, sharing what they are working on.



------ Why?
‍
- share your work - the path of indie making can be lonely, but it doesn't have to be
- connect - more than in a few messages on the socials
- pitch freely - get better at talking about what you are building
- get feedback - more eyes on your product will help you improve
- stay accountable - we all drift off sometime, this will help you stay on track
- learn from others - we learn faster when we learn together
- get help - sometimes just a fresh perspective is enough to get over roadblocks
- stay inspired - see what others are shipping
- celebrate wins - share progress and milestones with people who can relate

‍

------ Schedule, Group Sizes & Frequency:
‍
- tbd based on schedule matching
(aiming to do at least 1/mo)



------ Structure:
‍
Round 1:
Live intros + demos (total: 2.5 min each)
- "what did you get done this week?" (1 min - show)
- what’s in for next week, month?? (1 min - tell)
- something interesting about yourself? (0.5 min - share)

Round 2:
Ask questions, talk challenges
‍(2-4 min each, depending on group size)

Round 3:
Open discussion at the end

The exact schedule, group sizes & and meeting frequency - to be decided based on matching and testing

- 4-6 people per group seems to be the sweet spot
‍- aiming to do at least 1 meet/mo

‍(if you ever attended YC online startup school calls before, this should be somewhat familiar. Except the aim here is to have longer term bonds, and obviously - all is indie, bootstrapped)
