Remote work is awesome... except for when it's not

"I'm going to be an Indy Hall member for life if I have anything to say about it. What a wonderful community."

Remote work can get really lonely

Sure, working from home has its perks, but the WFH life comes with a cocktail of unexpected side-effects.

Hours vanish too quickly. Time loses all meaning. Some days, the only people you’ll see your bosses and coworkers. Some days, the only structure in your day is a barrage of endless meetings...ugh!

🎢  Workplace flexibility is great, but the ups and downs of working remote can feel like a rollercoaster ride — one that you’re riding all by yourself, and with no station to hop off.

If you crave a little structure, a sense of mutual support, and the opportunity to chat with adults you don’t owe deadlines to, you are not the only one.

Work from home, but not alone

Our community was started by people who loved having freedom and flexibility but missed the sense of community that came from being with and around like-minded people.

Here are a few of the ways we make that sense of community happen online:

Like-minded people with different experiences

Our community is home to independents, freelancers, solopreneurs, and remote employees from all backgrounds, age ranges, industries, and interests. They’re here when you need them the most, in the ways you need them the most.

Support when you need it, from people who actually listen

We're generous with sharing what we know and quick to support a member in need. Going through a personal or professional transition? Indy Hall is one of the best and most supportive communities you'll find.

Events & activities designed for curious people

You’re always invited to daily, weekly, and monthly members-only events designed to help you meet great people and shake up your routine. Favorites like Show & Tell, wide-ranging educational workshops, and specialized Discord channels create tons of opportunities to share and gain new skills in a supportive community environment. Participate at your own pace, there’s no minimum for jumping in.

Meaningful convos > Corporate small talk

Share vibes and build bonds with people over your common interests outside of your career. Take a break from the hustle to share what’s making you happy right now, like music, movies, cat gifs, crafting, and more. Whatever you’re into, you’re not the only one.

Rediscover some serendipity in your workday

When you’re missing the joy of casually stumbling into a conversation about something you love, our online spaces and activities are built with that sense of discovery at their core. Coworking sessions, work sprints, coffee chats, and more bring surprising, delightful conversations back into your life.

More than one way to stay connected, from anywhere

Some members enjoy their entire Indy Hall experience through our online spaces. Others post to to stay in touch between visits to the clubhouse. Whether you’re always logged-on or just checking in, you’re guaranteed to meet a wide breadth of members every time you post online.

Our Guiding Philosophy

Since 2006, Indy Hall has always had a vibrant online community, and we’ve spent 16+ years building a first-class experience for freelancers, remote workers, students, professionals making a career pivot, and all types of independent people.

Now more than ever, people are looking for human connection that isn't tied to an employer, or even a specific place.

We need people to talk to who aren’t relying on us for work, deadlines, and deliverables.

We need friendly faces and commiseration, cheerleaders in our corners, and coaches leading us forward.

We need help from experts to build valuable skills so we can blast through obstacles.

We need optimism tethered to reality.

We need to feel a sense of ownership, a sense of comfort, and a sense of home (even if we’re already technically there.)

We need each other, sometimes in ways we don’t know how to ask for.

We focus on trust instead of “networking”

Unlike a lot of professional communities, you can leave the hustle culture at the door. You don't have to puff up and impress people here. We put trust before transactions.

Our community thrives on the energy of learning and growing together, lifting each other up, and encouraging each other to take the next leap.

So if you are looking for new gigs, new work, or new friends, the Indy Hall community is packed with diverse and trustworthy people.

People from all backgrounds, interests, industries, and disciplines are welcome, and we take your safety seriously.
