Our concept is simple. We meet regularly, we talk about what we are working on, we help each other, and we build stuff. It could be a business, a social enterprise, an environmental project, or just something fun. Build a website, an app, a community garden, a pop-up shop, or anything else you can think of. We are not limited to software projects!

Which would you choose, given a choice? Going solo or working together with others? You might have everything it takes to succeed, but the reality is that most people don't. You might just need a little extra motivation when things get tough, or you might need a co-founder with complementary skills. How much easier is it to create something when you have the right support network around you?

Good ideas need money. You might have the skill and the time, but bootstrapping with little to no money is hard. That's why we help each other with crowdfunding. Create a pitch and put it on our crowdfunding page and together we will spread the word. With money behind your idea you can afford to pay for the things you need to get started. Crowdfund your startup, social enterprise, environmental initiative or a creative project.

We don't have all the answers yet. That's kind of the point. We'll build something that actually works for the people who show up. So, if you're interested in being part of something collaborative in Colchester just people actually helping each other make progress on real things - then join up and come to our first meeting.
