The Kermit Collective
The Kermit Collective is a community made up of leaders of boutique software agencies who share a passion for doing great work for their clients while providing fulfilling careers for their employees. This is a safe space where we connect with trust, respect and openness. We recognize that we are competitors AND collaborators and seek to share best practices that will help all of us grow our businesses and create even better places for people to thrive. Below are some of the ways that our members stay in touch, interact, and support each other.
Our Member Organizations
calls with global participation
Every month we’ll have a call organized around a specific topic. We’ll share the topic in advance, and occasionally share recommended readings on the topic before we get together. We may bring in experts, we may convene a panel of members, we may just have a facilitated discussion. Each call will follow the same format:
0:10 introductions and celebrations - we’ll go around the “room” and give everyone the chance to introduce themselves and celebrate any recent wins
0:30 monthly topic and deep dive
0:20 breakout groups - we’ll break into smaller groups for freeform networking and conversation
Weekly polls / questions within the community
Each week, there will be two facilitated topics in Slack - Work Wednesdays and Fun Fridays. These conversations will allow us to gather insights, take a pulse of the state of the industry and get to know each other as people. Kermit Collective members can bounce ideas and questions off of each other to see where they stand compared to the other leaders in the industry.
Kermit Slack Channels
Our slack channels focus on collaboration of all kinds: resourcing, staffing, partnership opportunities, Fun Friday discussion topics, and whatever else y’all want to share.
Retreats and Gathering
Whenever it is safe to do so, we will gather as a community to bring leaders and executives together. These retreats are a catalyst for future collaboration, connection, and cooperation. The contacts made at Kermit Camp will provide insight, support, and feedback to you as you grow your career (and invest in the development of your fellow leadership team members).
