Who's behind this?

It's me - Nityesh, from Curated Connections where we build self-driving software for communities.

We're basically a tiny bootstrapped startup. Everyone on the internet said we should be doing the "smart" things – you know, cold emails, seo stuff, ai-generated content, paid ads. All those marketing tactics that help you hack growth itself.

We tried it but realized that it was all boring, if not soul sucking. So we said f*ck it. We'll do marketing the hard way.

Instead, we decided to take a journalistic approach and create the single best piece of educational resource on building a community business.

Here's our process:

1. Find the wizards: that's founders/operators who have created magic in their communities.
2. Make them spill their secrets: we invite them on a podcast and dive deep until they share their secret sauce (NGL some of their insights make me feel stupid for not knowing them earlier)
3. Distill their magic sauce: Finally, I distill their magic sauce into bite-sized lessons that people ​get for free​.

We're doing it because building communities is hard AF. You've got the constant upkeep. The churn problems. The endless work.

But...

We've all been in those communities where magic happens. Where members create value for each other. Powerful connections are made unlocking life-changing opportunities for its members.

Our world needs more such communities.

That's why we're doing ​Beginner Maps​.
