We're finally done. It took us some time from the original announcement on Hive53 blog but at least we have done this well. We hope!
Without further ado - we have sat down with a bunch of Hivers and noted down what we think defines us. Thus were born our Spirit and our Mission. They are both work in progress - it's unlikely we've nailed it all in the first iteration. But they make sense for us as of December 2012. Feel free to send us feedback if you think something is (1) terribly wrong or (2) missing. Thanks!
Moreover, we have prepared a list of Resources, "Starting Your Hive 101" and put all our graphic elements in a Dropbox folder, ready for your use. Browse through it, send us feedback and hopefully start your own Hive. All it takes is a little commitment and filling out a quick form.
How is this Hive thing going to work?
1. We're going to keep doing our thing and patiently wait for you guys to start some Hives. We know of a few already!
2. We'll be coaching new Hivers so we'll have to be slow with letting new Hives and Hivers in. Apply now to be in the queue,
it literally takes 30 seconds.
3. When you get a green light, you're free to give your Hive a number ;) We will help you set everything up. We will coach everyone who wants to start their local Hive, do our best to help with introductions to speakers and we will make sure someone from Hive will attend your first event.
And remember what we said before? We mostly just want to start and see what happens. Try knowing that it's all an experiment. That's what this game is all about--daring.
Entrepreneurial energy is like honey. It's sweet and inspiring. It's a fuel that can feed your local community. And it's sticky, making more people gravitate towards each other.
Good luck!
