We’re excited to present our new podcast, Lone Geniuses! Hosted by our very own @michaelsaloio!!
It highlights the lives and careers of builders behind products and brands you love. They also happen to be Huddle members.😉
Ep1 is @DanBatten, Creative Director @ Hims & Hers...
recently, I’ve met designers affected by recent tech layoffs and enroll in Go From Designer to Founder.
it's SO cool to see designers using the gap as an opportunity to pursue entrepreneurship.
to encourage more to do the same, I'm offering "pay what you can" to enroll...
Excited to spotlight Huddle member: Melanie Platt! ✨
Melanie has empowered founders to raise over $500M to-date through strategic guidance.
She helps early-stage startups get investor-ready, turning potential oversights into funding success...
if you're a designer dreaming to start your own company, check out my episode @joindiveclub w/ @ridd_design in the link below.
we cover a bunch of things that can help you make the moves like I did.
ps. my course focused on designer founders just opened up a Spring cohort. 🤗
Some data on @withhuddle in 2023:
⭐️ 100 startup teams built
⭐️ 50% of customers purchased 2x
⭐️ Doubled membership to 1.5k
⭐️ Members earned ~$1M
Much more below. LFG 2024.
As we close the book on 2023 (literally and figuratively), it's really cool to reflect on what the Huddle community created together and the startups we partnered with.
We put together the wins + top designers into our annual Huddle 2023 Wrap-Up 🎁

kicking off 2024 with my favorite activity... helping designers starting companies :)
cohort #2 of Go From Designer to Founder starts next week!
if you want to join, there's still time! enrollment closes this weekend... grab your spot below 👇
Why we built @withhuddle this way:
- We’ve modeled Huddle as a decentralized agency. @michaelsaloio and I spent a lot of our careers in traditional product/brand agencies.
- Like an agency, Huddle is a trusted place where companies can spin up a team and expect great work...
“Community” is a word that gets thrown around a lot.
At Huddle, the builder community literally runs and grows the business.
These are things that are community-powered today:
The course is 3-weeks long.
Live sessions twice a week to attend or watch recorded and journaling prompts.
It's packed with my learnings going from a Product Design Manager to Designer-Founder of @withhuddle, getting the company off the ground and raising >$3.5m.
Aaaand we're back for round 2!
This past fall I launched a cohort-based course w/ @MavenHQ & @joindiveclub to empower more designers to become founders.
It was a hit! And it was so fun to do. So I'm opening up my 2nd cohort – kicking off Jan 9, 2024...
