Challenge Description

Start a community around any topic — Discord, Slack, forum, subreddit — and grow it to 500 active members in 30 days. AI helps with content strategy, onboarding, community management, growth hacking, and engagement. You bring the vision and the human touch. "Active" = posted or engaged at least once in the last 7 days.

Rules

  • Must start a new community (can't use existing ones)
  • 500 members must be real humans (no bots)
  • Active = posted or engaged in the last 7 days
  • AI can help with everything except pretending to be members
  • Must share growth metrics weekly
  • Community must have clear purpose and rules
