Building a small self-funded searcher cohort to meet virtually 2x a month

[UPDATE : Had a great response and have sent notes to folks to start a small group of folks with varied profiles. If you didn't get a reply from me, you should connect with the folks in the responses below and start another cohort!]

I'm a self-funded solo searcher in Seattle. Based off good advice from a former searcher, I'd like to put together a group of 5-10 folks to meet virtually as a cohort every two weeks -- for brainstorming, moral support, learning exchange etc. Someday we can be a CEO peer mentor group. :)

For cohesion and accountability purposes, you are:
- Searching full-time, early-ish in search
- Self-funded
- Dependable with attendance and community contributions
- Supportive and friendly

- Will try to find folks in different locales

DM if you're into it and we'll see what we can put together.

Hey ^redacted‌ - I'm organizing a meetup tomorrow for self-funded searchers on Zoom. You're welcome to join us. I'll be sharing some of my experiences - both search and running an acquired business for the past 4 years - on the call. Zoom group call details: https://www.searchfunder.com/event/view/1269

Add me in. I closed and run a business in Portland so I'd try to hop on once in a while. We used to do a veteran call like that. It's great to meet other people trying to get off the ground with ETA.
