Read & discuss
A book, an essay, a question worth sitting with. Talk about what you learned, what you disagree with, and how it changes your thinking.
Everybody’s
building.
Let’s learn together.
A volunteer-run circle to ask better questions, choose work worth your time, and help each other go further. Bring what you’re building, an idea you’re exploring, or experience someone else could use. Join in at your own pace.
Start a conversation
Starting with friends.
Growing through introductions.
The reason we’re here
We have experience.
We have questions.
We could use each other.
What deserves your time, investment, and focus? It helps to think that through with people you trust, especially when you’re building around a job and the rest of your life.
We’re starting a community where you can bring an unfinished idea, question each other thoughtfully, and get practical help. Reading, conversation, and testing give us more context to choose what to pursue and when to change direction.
AI expands what we can do. Human creativity, experience, and relationships help us decide where to put that ability. We’re stepping away from the accelerator model. No equity, pitch requirement, or selection committee. Just people learning and helping each other move forward.
Ways to join in
Bring your curiosity.
Find a better question.
Test & give feedback
Try a member’s app when you have time. Share what you attempted, where you got stuck, and what would make the experience better.
Ask & offer help
Is this problem worth pursuing? What are you missing? Think it through with the group, find someone to work alongside you, and offer what you can in return.
How we treat each other
Come as you are.
Be useful to each other.
Respect the person. Be honest about the work.
You can ask a basic question or show something that broke. Feedback should be specific, kind, and useful.
Build trust through what you do.
Respect each other’s ideas and unfinished work. Keep private conversations private, give credit, and ask before using or sharing someone else’s work.
Bring human judgment to powerful tools.
Use AI to expand what you can do. Bring your creativity, experience, and questions to the group so we can develop our thinking together.
Give some help. Get some help.
Try a product. Read a draft. Make a thoughtful introduction. Help each person reach people, knowledge, and opportunities beyond their own circle.
Keep the cost close to zero.
Start in living rooms and free spaces. Bring the tools you already have. The first circle is free to join.
Our starting point
One small circle.
Shaped together.
Built around working lives, with an initial focus on people in their late twenties and thirties. Builders, curious people, and helpful specialists all have a place here.
Your pace your way to take part
- Choose your involvement
- Join conversations, share feedback, or lend a hand as your time and energy allow.
- Help shape the group
- Tell us what you hope to get from WCFC, what you can offer, and how you’d like it to run.
- Find a rhythm together
- How often we meet, for how long, and what we do are open for discussion. We’ll keep listening and adjusting.
Volunteer-run, free to join, and shaped by the people who take part.
How we could grow
Small circles.
Shared possibility.
Start with people who help each other. Make room for new circles. Let what we learn in one place help people in another.
-
Form the first circle.
A few people, real questions, and useful help. Our first circle is forming in Seattle.
-
Make room for more.
As interest grows, people could bring a circle together around their own community.
-
Build on each other.
Ideas, introductions, and lessons could travel between circles, helping each group learn from what others discover.
A possibility to shape together. We’re starting with one circle; future circles would grow through people’s interest and initiative.
