Propel

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. 🚀

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!

Incredible product. Can't wait to join.

Super cool idea. Communities (particularly online ones) are only going to increase in their importance moving fwd

Joining Propel has been a bright spot of 2020! I've been able to connect with other operators at early-stage companies and talk through challenges that they have worked through before. It's a group of bright and ambitious builders!

I've been on the OneJob Newsletter for maybe a year now and it is consistently one of the best ways to get an interview. Interesting jobs but not ones that see hundreds and hundreds of applicants so you have a shot at getting noticed. Propel is interesting to me because it is full of people in what @skidder cals "person of leisure" phase where they are thinking about what's next for them. I have found in my experience these communities are the best place to make conenctions and figure out next steps.

Great idea - reminds me of the Bay Area. But totally remote. From my family of entrepreneurs to yours, best wishes in this endeavor.
