We believe experienced professionals deserve better businesses.
More and more experienced professionals are leaving traditional roles to build consulting, coaching, or fractional practices—seeking more freedom, more income, and more alignment with the work they care most about. But without the right support, they’re often left isolated, efforting, and stuck trading time for money. We’re here to change that.
Why IndeCollective?
More than 60 million professionals in the U.S. have made the leap to independence—bringing with them years (often decades) of hard-won experience. But building a business around that expertise? That’s a different kind of challenge.
Too often, the path is lonely and inefficient—full of trial and error, scattered resources, and missed opportunities.
IndeCollective was built to offer a better way.
We help experienced professionals translate their skills and track record into thriving consulting, coaching, or fractional businesses—what we call better businesses.
Ones that:
- Align with your strengths and values
- Attract right-fit clients who are ready to pay for the value you create
- Unlock more income, greater impact, and newfound flexibility in your work and life
We combine proven playbooks, seasoned mentors, AI-powered tools, and a high-trust community to help you skip the guesswork—and build the business (and life) you know is possible.
IndeCollective is here to help you build smarter.
We've helped 650+ consultants and coaches launch and grow better businesses—ones that maximize income, impact, and free time.

Why we built IndeCollective
IndeCollective was born from the same pain many of our members face: going independent without a roadmap. After leaving a senior leadership role and launching his own consultancy, our founder Sam Lee realized just how fragmented—and lonely—the journey could be.
He built IndeCollective as the solution he wished he'd had. And since 2020, it’s helped 650+ professionals do the same: build a business that reflects their worth, and a life that reflects their values.

Frequently asked questions
Each of our three programs is designed to meet you where you are—and grow with you as your goals evolve.
Self-Guided is perfect for independent learners who want immediate access to our proven playbooks, AI tools, and community—at their own pace.
10-Week Bootcamp is ideal if you want structure, expert coaching, and real-time accountability. You'll get live instruction, weekly group coaching, and a curated cohort to keep you in motion.
Annual Experience is best for ambitious consultants and coaches—whether launching, growing, or scaling—who want sustained, strategic support with 1:1 coaching, an advisory board, and thought leadership training.

Yes—many of our members start with the Self-Guided Program and upgrade as they go.
When you're ready for more structure, coaching, or accountability, you can apply your full Self-Guided investment toward the 10-Week Bootcamp or Annual Experience. No pressure, no wasted spend—just a smart way to start now and grow into the support you need.
Pro tip: If you’re eager to get moving today but want the option to join a future cohort, Self-Guided is the perfect launch point.
We run live cohorts twice a year—typically in the spring (March–May) and fall (September–November).
The 10-Week Bootcamp follows a structured weekly curriculum, with expert workshops, group coaching, and peer accountability.
The Annual Experience includes one 10-week cohort at the start of your year and a second cohort 6 months later—plus ongoing access to coaching, visibility sprints, and your personal advisory board in between.
Spots fill up quickly, so we recommend applying early. You can also start with Self-Guided anytime and upgrade into a live cohort when you're ready.

The typical time commitment is approximately 3 hours per week—whether you’re participating in a 10-week cohort or progressing through the playbooks independently.
For most consultants and coaches who are serious about building their business, this time is already being spent—researching on Google, experimenting in ChatGPT, reaching out to advisors, or revisiting partially completed workstreams.At IndeCollective, we help you use those same 3 hours more strategically.
Each week, you'll focus on a specific building block of your business—supported by a proven playbook, custom tools, action worksheets, and expert coaching—so you can move forward efficiently and confidently.
The result: less time spent searching or second-guessing, and more time making meaningful progress toward your goals.
Yes. Whether you’re brand new to AI or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, IndeCollective is designed to meet you where you are.
All of our members—regardless of experience—gain access to custom GPTs, curated prompt libraries, and live instruction that show you exactly how to apply AI in the context of your consulting or coaching business.
You’ll learn how to use AI to:
- Sharpen your strategy
- Streamline your delivery
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Save hours each week
Our tools and trainings are practical, business-specific, and beginner-friendly. You don’t need to be “tech-savvy”—you just need to be open to working smarter.
Not at all. Our members include both those who are just launching and those who have been running independent businesses for 3, 5, even 10 years.
Roughly half of our members join IndeCollective at the launch stage, looking to go to market with confidence. The other half are experienced consultants and coaches who have already built a good business—but want to unlock their next level of income, impact, and sustainability.
Whether you're launching, growing, or scaling, our program equips you with:
- Proven playbooks to structure and scale your business
- Far-ahead mentors to help you apply those frameworks strategically
- AI tools to streamline your operations, delivery, and decision-making
If you're serious about building a business that reflects your value and supports your life, you're in the right place.
Even if your business is thriving, the landscape of professional services is shifting—and AI is accelerating that change.
IndeCollective is designed not only to help you grow, but to future-proof what you’ve already built. We go beyond theory, offering hands-on training and custom GPT tools that show you exactly how to:
- Integrate AI into your client delivery, marketing, and back office
- Save hours each week without sacrificing quality
- Stay ahead of industry disruption—rather than reacting to it
- Position yourself as a next-generation expert with leverage
Our programming brings together proven playbooks, experienced mentors, and practical AI integrations to help you streamline, scale, and sharpen your competitive edge.

Whether you're refining a good business or preparing to evolve a great one, we’ll help you stay ahead—without falling behind the curve.
