FAQ
Why focus specifically on indie developers/creators?
Empowered by AI, we’re entering an era where everyone can be an Owner & Builder. Anyone can build quality products and achieve profitability without depending on large organizations.
A sobering reality is that tough job markets are pushing more people into freelancing. While we all know this is often a euphemism for “unemployment,” it reminds me of a discussion on 𝕏: Most people who’ve lived on the shore their whole lives won’t go fishing at sea unless forced to. And going to sea doesn’t guarantee survival. But how will you know you can’t do it if you don’t try?
If it’s “indie,” why not just go solo? Why join a community?
It’s like running a marathon—everyone has to run the full distance themselves, but having a group of like-minded partners running alongside makes it easier to persevere and the journey more enjoyable.
Why does the incubation challenge require a deposit?
To ensure all participants have skin in the game 🤝. Three months may not sound long, but honestly, most people can’t stick with it that long. This threshold keeps the truly committed developers and adds a cost to quitting.
How does the ChuHaiQu community generate revenue?
Currently two revenue sources:
- Revenue sharing from incubated projects
- Paid content — memberships and observer seats
