Question 1

Am I too early for this?

Accepted Answer

If you've shipped something, or you're close, you're in the right place. If you're still deciding what to make, sidething will get you to an answer faster, but you'll get more out of it once there's something real to point at.

Question 2

Won't the AI just give me generic advice?

Accepted Answer

No. sidething does one job: getting a side project from zero to revenue you can live on. The plays are our own philosophy on how that happens, and the brain is yours: what you sell, what you charge, what you have shipped and when, how you work. Most tools need weeks before they feel like they understand you. This one starts knowing your business from the first message.

Question 3

I'm not sure I'll stick with it.

Accepted Answer

Most side projects end in a quiet fortnight rather than a decision, so the whole thing is built around that. Your check-in arrives whether or not you opened the app, your roadmap holds your place so coming back isn't a re-planning exercise, and you're in a small group who notice when you go quiet.

Question 4

How long until this works?

Accepted Answer

Depends what you're making. A freelancer can land a client in week one. A SaaS is months rather than weeks, and we'd rather say so than sell you a timeline. What comes quickly is a straight answer on whether the thing has legs, so you stop pouring years into something that was never going to work.

Question 5

Is this right for my kind of business?

Accepted Answer

Mostly SaaS, apps, and people making things with AI tools. It works for freelancing, content and productised services too. If you're running an ecommerce store or something local and physical, there are better communities for that and we'd rather point you at one.

Question 6

Why do I have to apply?

Accepted Answer

So we can put you with founders at your stage, in your timezone. That's the part that makes a group useful instead of another feed. We read every application ourselves, which is also why places open in small batches rather than all at once. Apply here.

Question 7

What if I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

do the first thirty days. if you're not further along than the day you joined, email us and we'll refund you in full. you keep everything you made. No forms, no exit call, no talking you out of it.

don't just build.make revenue.

the part where it becomes a business.
