Shuffle Collective
Seeking to collaborate? There’s a waitlist, but the Shuffle Collective aims at “giving artists and creators the missing social and professional infrastructure they need to make their projects successful. We designed tools that help you take an idea and make it real. We've developed tools that not only help you be more productive but also organized. We have spent hundreds of hours alone working on ambitious projects which is why Shuffle Collective is well, a collective. You get to tap into a global network of ambitious creators with whom to collaborate, learn from and grow with.” This might be the thing for you.
