Hey everyone! I run a community here on Skool called Claude Code University. I teach business owners how to use AI to automate or streamline their business, get more customers and lower costs. The community is oriented around transparency and value, especially because of the niche I'm in! So many of the YouTubers or "AI people" have become entertainment creators now that AI is super popular in the mass media. They focus on getting clicks instead of solving problems and so that's my entry point and UVP. I make boring, yet undeniably valuable content that's actually real-world applicable for business owners, then I get them into my community where they learn everything they need to know to make their own software, get customers, and build a brand with AI - especially for those who don't want to pay for the fabled "AI Agency" and would rather do it themselves. I got my first $150 MRR ($400 cash collected) in my first 2 weeks from a lucky viral YouTube video that got about 45 trials into my community. Sadly, most of the cards were denied due to insufficient funds, so I'm increasing the price and turning off the free trial to increase the perceived value of the community (honestly it was too cheap anyways, made it seem low-quality). Looking forward to continued growth and to helping as many business owners learn and grow as I can! It's great to meet you all, and now that you know a little more about me, I'm looking forward to hearing more about you!

We’ve opened several new sections in the Classroom, with the most important one being Talent Scouting. I’ve also shared on LinkedIn why we decided to get into this. If you’re looking for a better job opportunity or community-related projects, take inspiration from my personal intro and we’ll add you to the section, then start matching you with opportunities and selling your services. You deserve a better job and better pay for what is expected of you.

I’ve been in the Community Industry since 2014. Today, I focus on Community M&A, acquisition scouting and community investment. I connect community owners, buyers and investors, scout established communities for acquisition and evolving Community M&A. The next event for community professionals where we can meet is Lisbon Community Week, where I’ll be speaking about Communities as investable assets. The best offer I can make today is Tycoon’s ultimate package for €50,000 per year. I have capacity for a maximum of 3 additional companies. My expertise: Community M&A · Acquisition · Valuation · Scouting · Investment · Dealmaking

We talk a lot about AI, growth, automation, acquisition, and building great products. But are we paying enough attention to community? In 2026, products can be copied faster. Content can be generated in seconds. Features can be replicated. But relationships are much harder to copy. A strong community can help a business with: - User retention - Product feedback - Customer education - Advocacy and word-of-mouth growth - Support - Trust and loyalty Yet, some companies still treat community as an afterthought. They invest heavily in acquiring users, then spend very little thinking about what happens after people sign up. For me, community is becoming even more important—not less. As AI and automation continue to change how we work and communicate, genuine human connection may become one of the biggest competitive advantages a company can build. So I'm curious: Is community underrated in 2026? Or are we finally starting to take it seriously? Would love to hear your thoughts. 👇
