Inside the iHub
Lisbon. The physical hub.
4A Rua Leite de Vasconcelos. Workshops, founder dinners, live builds. Members get the recap, the recordings, and an open seat when they're in town.
Joined six weeks ago. Shipped my first MCP server within ten days. The Sunday debrief alone is worth the membership ten times over — and there is no membership fee.

From skills to revenue
Members ship products. And post the numbers.
AI skills are leverage. Inside Synapse, members turn that leverage into newsletters, courses, AI services, and side products — and share what's actually working with real money attached. Three current examples:
Product
$4K / month
Templates
A member sells a Claude Code template pack on Gumroad. Built in 3 weeks, posted the build log inside.
Audience
$1.2K / month
Newsletter
A member runs a B2B Beehiiv newsletter. 2.3K subs, $1.40 CPL on paid acquisition. Numbers shared weekly.
Service
3 new clients / month
Services
A member ships AI agency services using a cold-outreach playbook posted in the Sales room. Closed-won numbers in the thread.
Real members. Anonymized on this public page — full screenshots, threads, and the founders themselves are inside the Skool community. We don't post numbers we can't back.
Platform choice
Why Skool, not Discord.
We tried all three. Skool wins for founder communities past month six. Here's the honest math.
Skool
What we use
- Search actually works — full-text, by author, by date.
- Long-form post format encourages substance over noise.
- Built-in events, courses, calendar.
- Email digests for the lurkers.
- Mobile app that doesn't suck.
Discord
Why not
- Search is broken. Threads die in twenty-four hours.
- Chat format kills depth — every post is two lines.
- No native events or calendar.
- Notification chaos drives lurkers off.
- Built for gamers, retrofitted for founders.
Slack
Why not
- Free tier loses messages after ninety days.
- Channel sprawl — thirty channels, none used.
- Built for teams, not communities.
- No public discoverability for newcomers.
- Paid tier is $8/user/month minimum.
What you get on Skool
Six things behind the click.
- Daily threads on what's shipping with AI — prompts, results, what broke.
- Sunday debrief — what worked, what failed, real MRR / traffic / opt-in numbers.
- Monthly 90-min office hours with Maxime + a guest $500K founder.
- Live builds 2-3x a month — founders walk through their actual AI stacks.
- Mobile app + email digest, so lurkers stay in the loop without doom-scrolling.
- Five searchable rooms — not thirty Discord channels with three lurkers each.
47 founders. $0. One-click leave.
If you're using AI as leverage — across business, marketing, sales, productivity, or money-making — and you want to ship in the open, you're invited.

FAQ
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.
