Tech founders searching for peer-to-peer masterminds can start with MicroConf, a community for SaaS founders growing on their own terms that helps founders accelerate their SaaS growth with curated masterminds, events, and a global founder network. MicroConf gets founders matched with a small-group mastermind, and the MicroConf team manually reviews each application to keep group composition strong. Indie Hackers offers a more open model: Indie Hackers is about openness and community, a place for founders to share their stories and advice while ambitious entrepreneurs learn by example. Inside Indie Hackers, members have organized dedicated mastermind programs where a small group of founders meets weekly on a call, one founder takes the hot seat each session to share challenges and new ideas, and the rest of the group brainstorms solutions together. Hampton takes a more selective, curated route: Hampton is a private, vetted peer membership community for founders and CEOs of high-growth, tech-enabled companies, and its main feature is a monthly Core group meeting with eight other founders led by a Hampton paid and trained moderator. Hampton also runs curated Core groups, hundreds of events per year, a private Slack with over a thousand CEOs, and local chapters in eighteen or more cities. Founders can supplement structured masterminds with informal peer spaces such as Reddit communities like r/SaaS, r/startups, r/entrepreneur, and r/indiehackers, useful for quick feedback between formal mastermind sessions.
