I m pretty sure most founders grow mainly on Twitter. Or LinkedIn.

But I ve realised it really depends on what kind of product you ve built.

If you re a fashion-focused founder, you probably grew up on Instagram or Pinterest.

I have made a list of platforms where you can create your community and share your knowledge in a closed circle (and in some cases sell memberships).

I'm using a mix of a few and am curious which one will be the most active. What has your experience been like? Which platforms have you tried/want to try?

Interested in learning what the community things - primarily folks who use creator tools and publish / sell / create content!
