The Net-Do Virtual Community. Launching October 2023.

In a world filled with countless communities, each vying for attention and engagement, I embarked on a mission to build something truly exceptional β€” a virtual haven called Net-Do.

Why Net-Do, you ask? Well, let me take you through the journey that led to its creation.

Two years ago, as a budding entrepreneur, I yearned for a space that could serve as a multifaceted resource, a source of community, a trusted accountability partner, and an unwavering support system. Yet, in my quest, I encountered a common challenge: the noise of communities, cohorts, incubators, and fellowships, many of which seemed to prioritize financial transactions over holistic growth.

The gap was clear β€” an absence of a diverse, inclusive space that nurtured the complete self of a business owner, professional, or founder.

After a 16-month journey filled with learning and connecting with brilliant minds from all corners of the world, I realized that many were quietly seeking what I had envisioned β€” a new table, a fresh community.

Thus, the concept of Net-Do was born β€” a virtual community that integrates a 5-year business vision of bringing together Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to collaborate, partner, and empower trusted members.

Fast forward to early August 2023, when I embarked on a transformative journey in Buildspace β€” a 6-week program to transform my idea into reality. My vision? To create a virtual community that empowers and inspires Professionals, Founders, Business Owners, & Disruptors. Our mantra? β€œStop Networking, Start Net-Doing.” Our mission? To create an exclusive space for those typically excluded.

As I write this, we’re in week 4 of Buildspace, and the progress has been exhilarating. The waiting list for Net-Do keeps growing, and our social media presence is expanding by the day, with 21 followers on LinkedIn and an impressive 23 followers for the virtual edition on Instagram, plus 46 followers for the Austin edition.

But the most remarkable achievement? I built a landing page that doubles as a website in just 5 days, thanks to valuable feedback about end-user usage of Notion. This accomplishment is a testament to our commitment to responsiveness and community-driven design, where every voice matters.

Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for weeks 5 and 6, planning a short Q&A/information session. By the week of the 18th, our goal is to have the soft launch scheduled, with the official kickoff for the virtual community set for October 5th.
