Piotr Gaczcowski and Marcin Mlynski | Co-working hub to an online community?
Hackerspace Trójmiasto founders tell how they were able to reinvent an IRL-community as a Discord server.
Good Tuesday,
Last week Lera, Karina and I talked to Marcin and Piotr, the leaders of Hackerspace Trójmiasto co-working about real-life communities vs online communities and the best ways to monetise both.
