10 - The Homie Advantage: How a Simple Idea Became a Thriving Tech Community | Jared Robin
Description
Today we’re joined by co-founder and CEO of RevGenius Jared Robin. During COVID, Jared was ready for his next adventure. He had worked in the tech and start-up spaces for years and felt a lack of a truly useful and helpful neutral meeting ground for passionate professionals in those arenas. He had also run a fashion magazine for years that curated a ‘point of view’ based on he and his team's tastes. When Jared brought that experience of building a ‘vibe’ for the voice of the magazine to the tech world and focused on curating a tribe of homies, RevGenius was born.
Describing other tech communities he was a part of before starting RevGenius, Jared says, “They just weren’t helping me.” Jared focused on building a community that, uniquely, wasn’t tied to a product or larger company. He built fast, making a quick LinkedIn group at the start and asking people to add their friends before they moved to Slack. Two years later, they’re at 35,000 members!
