What's inside
A working group, not a content drip.
Daily
Real ship logs
Members post what they shipped today with AI — prompt diff, results, what broke. Specific, dated, no theory. You'll see what's working before it hits a blog.
Weekly
Sunday debrief
What worked, what broke, what we'd skip. Members share numbers (MRR moves, traffic, opt-ins). Maxime drops a "one thing to try this week" anchor.
Monthly
Live office hours
90 minutes live with Maxime + a guest $500K founder. Stack walkthrough, Q&A, no slides. Recording stays in the community for members to revisit.
Who's there
From "just installed Claude" to $500K solo founders.
The mix isn't an accident. New AI users learn from operators. Operators learn from founders. Founders learn from each other. Three roles in one room, all using AI as primary leverage.
Builders
Solo SaaS founders, indie hackers shipping product features daily. Cursor + Claude Code + Supabase stack. They know the unit economics of every line of code.
Operators
Marketers + agency owners productizing with AI. Cold email pipelines, content factories, customer-research workflows. They turn one Maxime into ten.
Founders
$200K-$1M solo or 2-3 person teams. Already past PMF, scaling with AI, looking for what compounds. They drop the most leveraged playbooks.
House rules
A community founded on signal, not noise.
- Cite the number. Posts with specific dollar / time / conversion figures get engagement priority. Vague wins are fine; specific wins are gold.
- No reposts. Don't drop the same X thread or LinkedIn post here. If you wrote it, link it. If someone else wrote it, attribute and add your take.
- Sell elsewhere. Pitching products, courses, or services without explicit sponsorship slot = you're done. We protect this hard because it's the rule that keeps Skool communities alive past month 6.
- Help first, ask second. If your first 3 posts are all questions, your 4th should be helping someone. Compounding only works both ways.
- Be wrong out loud. "I tried X, it failed because Y" is more valuable than "I tried X, it worked." We learn faster from disasters than wins.
How to get the most out of it
First 30 days, week by week.
- Week 1 — Lurk + introduce. Read the pinned threads. Drop one intro post: who you are, what you ship, what you're stuck on.
- Week 2 — Help one stranger. Find a question you can answer with specifics. Reply with one paragraph + one link. That's your first compounding move.
- Week 3 — Post your weekly debrief. What you tried, what worked, what broke. Numbers if you have them. This is where members start tagging you.
- Week 4 — Show up to office hours. Even if you don't ask a question, just hearing other founders' stack walkthroughs is the highest-leverage hour of the month.
Common questions
Who is the community for?
+
Builders, operators, marketers, and solo founders using AI as primary leverage. From "I just downloaded Claude" to "I run a $500K solo SaaS." Both ends learn from each other.
How much does it cost?
+
Free. There's no paid tier today. If we ever add one, it will be 100% optional and existing members keep everything they have.
Is this on Skool? Why not Discord / Slack?
+
Yes — Skool. We picked it because (1) the search actually works, (2) the post format encourages substance over noise, and (3) it has built-in courses + events that we use for the monthly office hours.
What's the cadence inside?
+
Daily threads on what's shipping with AI. Weekly "what worked / what broke" debrief on Sundays. Monthly office hours with Maxime + a guest $500K founder. Live builds 2-3x a month, founders walking through their actual AI stacks.
Do I have to be active to stay?
+
No. Lurking is fine. We'd rather have someone who reads thoughtfully than someone who pads their thread count. Engagement metrics aren't a thing here.
Is the language English or French?
+
Both work. Most threads are in English; some founders post in French. Posts in either get answers in both.
How is this different from the newsletter?
+
The newsletter is one-to-many — Maxime writes, you read. The community is many-to-many — peers ship, share, and debug live. They compound: newsletter readers who join the community ask better questions; community members get the editorial backbone from the newsletter.
Will sponsors / brands pitch me here?
+
Brands aren't allowed to post promotional content unless explicitly invited (sponsorship slots, transparently labeled). The default rule: if you're here to sell, you're in the wrong place.
Free. No catch.
