I feel like the copy is definitely directed at a younger generation (young gen Z), so I just figure it not for me because I've never been one of the cool kids. I'd probably get sick of it after a while, but that alone wouldn't likely turn me away if I really thought I could benefit from it.

My reservations about something like this would be:

1.) Your second concern. Just reading your commentary on it raised so many red flags.

2.) Lack of directed focus. Things that aren't properly niched and then promising "the right eyes on it" make me pause.

For example: Ship 30 for 30 is for people to write online, specifically Twitter, for 30 days. That's it. Everyone is there to write on Twitter for 30 days, so it's easy to show real support to those people (by engaging with their posts). Everyone's goal is aligned.

Even my Pitch Play is focused on pitching, whether it's cold email, a letter of introduction, a proposal on a freelance board, a grant, etc. I'm there to show people how to write an effective pitch, and that's it.

There's specificity in those things that doesn't seem to exist in Buildspace (from what I can see from their home page). How can you possibly help someone build literally anything? How can someone (or even a group of people) be an expert in everything? It just doesn't make sense to me. There's a way to do it (like create small pods of people building similar things or people who are interested in what everyone else in their pod is creating), but there's no way to predict who will sign up.

It seems like they're relying on hype more than anything, and I'm very wary about challenges/programs like that.

Going back to you, it sounds like Buildspace is created for people who need accountability to execute, which isn't your pain point. I don't see you getting much, if anything, out of it.

It'd be way better to spend your time on audience building, growing your referral network, and getting in front of the right people through cold emails/LOIs.
