Market size isn't a consideration here.. I just like building communities and getting people to help each other. When you're talking about small groups of a dozen people, it doesn't matter so much if there's only 100 or a million in the world.

And I'm certainly open to suggestions on the domain, if you have any ideas!

How about a mentee program for prospective engineering leaders to learn from those in those positions. There's a huge gap in mentorship for this kind of skill set. I can easily find people to teach me the tech side of things, finding information and wisdom on the leadership side has major barriers, in my experience, and a very high noise to signal ratio for finding this info without direction from a mentor.

I'm in the process of building something currently, it will be an online course teaching the basics + mentor/mentee/general career advice forum.

Feel free to email me: anthony@makerleader.com w/ any specific questions, I am happy to help (I am currently in a leadership role in the high frequency trading industry).

It's not exactly the domain, but rather the exclusivity based on title/status that I think is a problem. Someone could be a PM and know 10x more about managing people than a CTO, but would be excluded because you didn't build a meritocracy.
