Week 12 update for cohort15.com. Almost there...builder pie is in sight. Post-hackathon the actual product itself needs a bit more experimentation and pivoting. @gimbalabs #hackathon #PieceOfPie
Week 11 update for cohort15.com. This week was about more research and deciding the next experiment to understand small group formation and continuation. But first, I'm going to try and hit the acceptance criteria for Piece of Pie. @gimbalabs #hackathon #PieceOfPie

What if multiplayer game economies had player-written contracts? Server owners could let players create companies, jobs, banks, loans, etc. Looking for server owners, admins, game devs, and modders. Relevant to Minecraft, FiveM, Rust, etc. 👇 cohort15.com/cohorts/8ce7a0d…

First third-party cohort request is live! A founder/designer is building NOVAVOX, a private creative network for emerging artists, and is looking for one serious developer collaborator. Self-funded for now. Show interest in collaborating! 👇 cohort15.com/cohorts/ea498b8…

Small cohort15.com update: The first serious request reached quorum. Meta test: co-founder search for Cohort15, hosted on Cohort15. Since it’s high-commitment, quorum was set to 1. Next test: does the committed member actually show up?

I dug through ~20 public posts from people looking for accountability partners, study buddies, founders, or small serious groups. Small sample, but the signal was clear: People were not asking for “another community.” They want few serious people who would actually show up.

Quick question: For learning, job search, interview prep, or building something — what has failed more often for you? A) Finding the right people B) Keeping people committed C) Agreeing on schedule/cadence D) Group being too broad/noisy

I wrote up the research here: cohort15.com/research/why-sm… (Sorry about the tracking 😓) The thing I’m trying to learn: Would people rather have 1:1 accountability or a small pod of 4–8 people?

Week 8 update for Cohort15. App launched for idea validation. Current version does not have auth or payment gate. App hosted at: cohort15.com Note: Still buggy, will squash as I find them. #gimbalabs #pieceofpie #hackathon @gimbalabs
