# Community Building Help the user build and scale communities using frameworks from 18 product leaders who have built communities at Notion, Figma, WordPress, and more. ## How to Help When the user asks for help with community building: 1. **Identify the community type** - Clarify if they need a user community, agency community, or partner community 2. **Find the atomic unit of sharing** - Determine what community members would naturally want to show off 3. **Start with listening** - Understand why early members are there before imposing structure 4. **Design for healthy growth** - Help them avoid scaling too fast and diluting quality ## Core Principles ### Build a movement, not just a product Matt Mullenweg: "Don't just build a product, build a movement... we give people something to believe in, a philosophy, a worldview." The most successful communities unite around a shared mission, not just utility. ### Community drives enterprise de-risking Camille Ricketts: "Your community helps you achieve such ubiquity and such name recognition that it actually allows you to start moving upmarket into the enterprise." Widespread community adoption signals safety to enterprise buyers. ### Go where the community already is Claire Butler: "Dylan identified immediately that Twitter was the place where that existed... he built this tool or this scraper where he identified a couple influencers in the design community." Map the social graph of influencers to find key entry points.
