Ask HN: Online communities for early stage tech leads?

I run https://wip.co which is a community of mostly bootstrappers working in public. Members usually start sharing the progress from the very first day so definitely early stage.

https://indiehackers.com is a really helpful and active community too. Definitely check out their podcast as well.

I have a reddit called Clothing Startups. It's probably not exactly what you are thinking of, but sort of similar.

I would search Reddit for starters. I'm sure I've seen other subs about "startups."

Have you checked out: https://www.indiehackers.com/?

The best one so far: https://microconf.com/

patio11 hangs out there.

Lots!

Indiehackers has a very active forum.

There are also telegram communities like wip.chat (paid) or makerlog (free)
