Creatives need community.

Hey, this is Jay.

I've been self employed for several years now. And as a solopreneur, I can tell you that it definitely gets lonely from time to time.

Most days bring a number of challenges, and for a long time I didn't have many people in my life that I felt could relate to what I was going through.

But then I started to find my community.

I cannot overstate how impactful it has been to surround myself with other creative business owners.

It's provided me with the support, guidance, mentorship, and even camaraderie that I so badly needed.

And having an entrepreneurial community has been one of the biggest driving factors of growth in my business.

Unreal Collective is the online community I spend the most time in.

Unreal Collective is a community that I built for founders, freelancers, and creators. It's a beautifully mixed bag of kind, generous creatives who are all working independently to create better work and build their businesses.

I love being in the trenches with you. I love being just a DM away from being able to help you get through some of the hurdles you're facing.

I want to invite you to join us.

It's an intentionally small, and tight-knit community. We're just over 100 people, and we take membership seriously.

We require a short application just to ensure that it's a mutually good fit and that we can truly help you.

Your application will be reviewed within 72 hours, and if it's is accepted, you'll receive a formal invitation to join Unreal Collective for just $99/year.

Not only will you join our exclusive community platform, but you'll have access to the same resources and monthly community calls as members of the Unreal Collective Accelerator.

Hey, my name is Jay Clouse.

I'm the founder of Unreal Collective, host of the upside podcast, and author for Linkedin Learning / Lynda.com teaching product management and freelancing.

I've been both a founder and a freelancer. Previously, I was the Chief Operating Officer of Tixers, which was acquired in 2015. Then I spent time as a product manager at a venture-backed startup, and left that to freelance.

Through Unreal, I've worked with over 100 incredible individuals who have had multi-million dollar exits, six-figure crowdfunding campaigns, left their jobs to go full-time freelance, and bootstrapped technology companies.

I'm here to help you identify the important work and get it done. And not only am I here to lead the accelerator and facilitate our discussions, but I participate along side you with my own projects. I will be working through the same exact process that you are.

You can learn more about me here. I'm excited to work with you.

Join our exclusive Slack community.

We've been a part of over-grown Slack communities that become too crowded to be effective or helpful. We keep our group small and focused, staying under 100 members at a time.

Image

Take part in our monthly community video calls.

We recognize that being virtual cannot fully replace face-to-face interaction, and so we hold monthly community calls to get some face time and personal feedback.

Image
Image

Outside of the calls, we leverage Slack for communication. Your group has its own private channel, and public channels connect the whole Collective.

Image

Access to our members-only resource center.

Over time, we've accumulated offers, discounts, and perks for founders and freelancers.

Half off enrollment in Freelancing School

All community members can enroll in Freelancing School for 50% off.

Freelancing School combines all that we've learned from over 100 creatives in the Accelerator.
