10 online communities for solopreneurs who reject the status quo

For solopreneurs done with hustle culture and the traditional grind, these 10 communities offer support and rebellious energy as you build your business your way.

How to find the right mix of solopreneur communities for you

  1. Start searching with your values in mind. Maybe you're craving a slower pace, 1:1 mentorship, or a sense of solidarity over coworker jealousy and competition. Knowing what you need emotionally and practically makes it easier to find the right fit.

  2. Reflect on the price and what’s behind it. A paid community like The Playhouse can be well worth it if it offers things like live events, curated resources, or genuine support from members.

  3. Free spaces can be just as valuable when they’re welcoming, generous, and well-moderated.

  4. Look for depth beyond surface-level chat or course-selling gurus. Communities led by someone with real frontline business experience means you’ll get business advice from someone who can actually give it.

  5. Access to breadth of expertise within the community: Look for panels with more experts beyond the host, co-working sessions, mentorship programs, or coaching opportunities so you can have more valuable conversations.

Joining is just the start

  1. Test the vibe by showing up authentically. Ask the questions no one else is asking. Share a bold idea or a frustration. See how the group reacts — are they open and helpful? Are you connecting with people who share your mindset?

  2. DM someone you click with, follow the founder’s work, or show up to a call. Relationships build faster when you engage – even when its at your own pace.

  3. It’s okay to follow quietly and take breaks when needed. Focus on quality over quantity by showing up where it feels good, and if you’re ready to step back, consider letting someone else jump in.
