Ask HN: How did you find your online mastermind group?

7 points by br0ke 11 years ago | 4 comments

After hearing about mastermind groups in various podcasts and blog posts, I read up and went to meetup.com to look for one. Unfortunately, my area is a bit lacking, so I tried googling for some mechanism to join an existing group (lots of "how to start a", no "how to find a"). Instead of submitting to the urge of coding a mastermind dating service, I thought I'd ask here.

How do you find a (n online) mastermind group?

Thanks!

Stick around long enough and you will find one, or start your own. I am part of a group of about 15 other people, all business owners and most of them are developers or were CTO's at one point, some are VC's. I was introduced after someone felt I had something to offer them. After that I stuck around and contribute what I can. My group usually meets on Skype.

Twice I formed an on-line group. The problem seems to be that when you are not 'face to face' it's very hard to keep members accountable. As motivated as I was to stay on track, others in the group easily fell off. Perhaps we can help each other? find me on Twitter @Defmall and let's consider working this out together...

What is a mastermind group? When I google for it my screen gets filled with buzzword soup.

If you are a single founder with an existing up and running product/project, you can try applying to join solo.im.
