Working for yourself doesn't have to mean working by yourself. The Trenches is a weekly co-working group for founders, nomads, remote workers and anyone building something of their own. There are no name tags, no panels and no forced icebreakers. You get four hours to get sh*t done next to people facing the same kind of problems you are.
How a Monday goes
14:00: The Huddle. We go around the table. Say who you are, what you're building and what you want finished by 18:00. Saying it out loud keeps you accountable, and it tells everyone else how they can help.
HUDDLE

building ... ?
by 18:00 ... ?
The in-between. Heads down. There's no agenda and no scheduled break. Get a coffee when you need one, and talk to your neighbor when it feels right. Stuck on a pivot, a technical problem or just the grind of working solo? Talk it through with the table.
After 18:00 (optional). If people still have energy, we close the laptops and go out for a drink or dinner. That's usually when co-workers become friends.
Is this your table?
It is if you're tired of meetups that are all talk and want to leave with real progress. Any industry and any career stage are welcome. Students too.
