Readme
How a group chat started in March 2025 ended up with a hundred people in it.
The noise
Discord servers with ten thousand members and four active conversations. Slack communities with five hundred channels and nothing worth reading.
The people sharing the most have built the least. The builders are heads-down. They need a smaller room.
So Matthew Blode, Luca Bonelli, and Ryan Hendler started one.
The group
Around 100 builders. Phone-verified. Manually approved. No open sign-up. You join, introduce yourself, share what you are building and how you built it.
Small enough to recognise every name. Small enough that the noise never wins.
The members
Founders, CTOs and engineers from Linktree, Canva, Airtree, BuildPass, me&u, Vercel and OpenAI. Most of them in Melbourne, and they hire each other.
Not a platform. A room. A small room, with the right people in it.
