25. • One pain to kill, ask WHY, before HOW and WHAT
• Start with dense community of users, even if very local,
then scaleup
• Give value (services, visibility, business opportunities),
improve and increase commons before expecting
results back
• Be scalable, provide tools and identity that will be
reused by the members of your community
• Be financially sustainable
☑ Know what’s the pain to kill, start with the WHY
☑ Start with local but dense community of users, then
scale up
☑ Give value, increase commons to get results back
☑ Provide a toolbox and a strong identity
☑ Be scalable
☑ Be financially sustainable
Similarities between building a
community and building a startup
