Re: Solo.im – A single founder peer group
#32I am a single founder and I was really tempted to apply. But I decided I won't. I read all the copy, it is interesting. I went all the way filling the form, until the last question before the submit button. And there it was, the one question that made me (i) stop, (ii) wonder if this was for me and (iii) decide it wasn´t. (i) What made me stop? The field was asking my Google+ account.

#33It's a good idea. G+ was a barrier but I filled out my profile and submitted (even though not required).

#34People interested in this kind of thing, but a bit more open, may appreciate this site: http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm/
There are a number of us from HN there - the kind of people really interested in bootstrapped startups.

#36I previously tried to start a posterous-based med tech discussion group, right before posterous announced it was pulling the plug. I am still interested in talking with others about that type of thing. I am open to suggestions as to platform, etc.

#38Good points and you are correct (I'm the creator of solo.im) The group is full of founders who all have different experiences and knowledge to pass on.

The big thing is contribution. solo.im / mastermind groups is just one thing of many you can get involved in…
I applied about three weeks ago but haven't heard anything as to whether I was accepted. I'm sure you have a backlog of applications so I'm not sweating it but would love to hear one way or another soon!
Really appreciate your information. Looks like the rest of the web pages are not ready yet. It depends on how many people sign up. A list of signed up solos should be posted for people to choose from, I guess.
Re: Solo.im – A single founder peer group
#39I just signed up - seconding the comments about using text area for longer answers.
Edit: received the confirmation email, just took a little longer
