From Zero to Signal: Building a Community From Scratch
Community Lead @ Rillet
Darragh Collins has built three thriving B2B fintech communities from the ground up — Off the Ledger at Airbase (scaled to 7,000+ members), the Zip community for procurement leaders, and now Close Club at Rillet, which hit 600+ curated finance leaders in under 8 weeks. In this session, Darragh shares what he's learned about getting people to actually care about community — why application-only beats open-door, why meeting people in person changes everything, and why the secret to a great community isn't content or programming — it's getting really, really good at people.
