The Messy Manifesto
We're solo founders, side-hustlers, indie hackers, devs, creators, and dreamers.
We're writing code at midnight, sketching ideas between jobs, launching half-built products from kitchen tables.
We're not backed by millions. We're backed by persistence.
We've missed goals. We've burned out. We've launched things no one noticed.
And still — we build.
What we believe:
- • Momentum > perfection.
- • Progress is lumpy, nonlinear, and deeply human.
- • Showing up matters more than showing off.
- • Scrappy is beautiful.
- • Building quietly is just as valid as building in public.
- • There's no one right way to do this.
What we reject:
- • Founder theater.
- • Hustle culture that burns you out and calls it ambition.
- • Gatekept advice and overpriced access.
- • Metrics that don't mean anything.
- • The myth that everyone else has it figured out.
What you'll find here:
- • Real talk.
- • Honest stories.
- • Builders helping builders.
- • Tools that work.
- • Feedback without ego.
- • A community that lifts, not performs.
This is not a club. It's not a funnel. It's not a flex.
It's a vibe. A home. A collective permission slip to keep going.
We're not perfect.
We're not polished.
We're messy.
And we're still building.
