A special thank you

To our founding members

None of this would exist without the people who showed up in the early days - when the community was just a few hundred people and a shared Google Doc. You believed in the vision before there was much to believe in, and you helped shape everything that IndieHQ has become.

From the founders

"We started IndieHQ because we wanted a place where building in public felt safe, honest, and genuinely useful. Fifty thousand members later, we think we are getting there."
