Hey everyone, we've also written a blog post telling the backstory of this community that @jon started 9 years ago.
The Secret Community of 20 Kids That Spawned 5 YC Founders, A Theil Fellow, & Dozens of Startups: http://needwant.com/p/secret-com...
@marshal I signed up for the mailing list and now will *never have to make my bed again* - fyi: it takes you back to the SmartBedding site as that's probably the default for that MailChimp account.
I've been part of #Launch for the past few months (my face even made the site!), and it's a great community. I definitely recommend applying.
The quality of the original #Launch group is insane. I've met a good number of them, and it's like a mini startup mafia. (Here's a list: http://cl.ly/image/3F3j3k0b0C0r)
I think what you guys have here is very valuable. I'm a big believer in digital communities especially those with a ton of awesome founders, creatives, and entrepreneurs spread out all over the globe living the digital nomad life (@levelsio).
I have a small Facebook group I started myself with 600+ entrepreneurs but building a house on FB's turf is really difficult because of the way they handle group notifications/etc. Let me know if there's any way I can help.
I've had the privilege of being a longtime member of #Launch and through it I've expanded my network to include some amazing people from all over the world.
Launch is filled with people from all walks of life, locations, experience levels, interests, and skills that are ready and willing to help all that join.
If you have a desire to launch something in your life whether it is a product, business, career or skill set then I highly recommend applying to join the #Launch community.
Report
I've been fortunate enough to be a part of the #Launch team since well into its first incarnation. It's great to see how what began as a small chat room for a bunch of friends become a thriving community for like minded individuals from all aspects of work and geographics.
Report
Joined launch 1 or 2 years ago in IRC and never looked back. If you're looking for a community of talented people who have your back, this is the place.
Recently joined Launch and the community is an interesting and helpful as it is diverse. People working on a range or projects, and for a range of companies, from a diverse range of locations and backgrounds. Come join!
