Welcome to the 58th edition of Community Digest. Today, we talk about the growth journey of Sharetribe. You will also find updates, jobs and resources that you shouldn’t miss! Stay till the end to spin the wheel of fortune!

Hey everyone! 👋

Before we get into the serious stuff, here are some memes of the week that got us giggling at work! 🤐

🚨 Community Jarvis Activated: Launching soon!

The Community Jarvis is designed to be actionable templates for the jobs-to-be-done by a community builder and an automation assistant resource to help you find the best ways to scale your community. It's FREE, easy to duplicate and here to help you get more productive at building great communities!

📈 In a world of VCs and investments, Sharetribe cares more about social impact

With a social mission in mind, the founders realized that to offer a truly democratized platform on a shared economy, the best possible solution is to make it open source. And that’s exactly what they did, but things are easier said than done. It wasn’t viable in a grand scheme of things to build an open-source platform and inherently survive for the foreseeable future. They realized that in order to fulfill their purpose, they needed Sharetribe to become sustainable and have the necessary resources to improve over time. This meant that they needed to make money in order to do so.
