The best discussion forums for web entrepreneurs

When you’re building a web app or other type of online business you probably have a lot of questions. I think learning from others is a great way to become a better entrepreneur, no matter if you’re bootstrapping your way with your first SaaS product, or trying to build a great freelancing business selling yourself as a consultant.

Here I will be adding good online discussion forums that will help you build your online business. Please add your favorites in the comments.

Discussion forums

  • Discuss.bootstrapped.fm - Discussion board for the Bootstrapped Podcast, with new posts every day.

  • Bootstrappers.io - a community of business bootstrappers, freelancers and lifestyle designers.

  • Multi-Reddit for Web Entreprenurs - a collection of subreddits for the startup/business owner.

  • Sitepoint Business Forum - SitePoint has a forum, but recently it is mostly posts linking to Sitepoint articles. Has potential though, with Sitepoint’s large audience.

  • Quora - entrepreneurship - Q&A style discussion forum with entrepreneurship topics.

  • Growth Talk - Focusing on growth hacking. Not as active as the Bootstrapped discussion board, but occasionally a good topic or two shows up here.

  • Founder News - Just found this today and added it to the list. They’re mostly linking to news stories for founders.
