I’ve been building tech communities for almost 15 years and I continue to learn new things every time I work with Jono. He’s amazing. The value and engagement in Stateshift is phenomenal. Run, don’t walk to join.

Tim Bradbury

With a focus on a range of topics including community engagement, measuring success, and demonstrating value, being part of Stateshift has helped my colleagues and I to take the pulse of our community and drive forward improvements in engagement and value.

Kris Ledel

I highly recommend Jono Bacon's Stateshift for anyone looking to develop community building and leadership skills. The accelerator offers a well-structured framework and workflow, engaging coaching style, and valuable real-life case studies.

Kunal Nawale

We are an early-stage startup, and Stateshift has been instrumental in helping us get results, not just with our community, but also with content, events, messaging, on-boarding, and more. Highly recommended.

Noelis Soto

Stateshift has been an invaluable resource to me, as we build out our community. Jono’s coaching and trainings have helped us hone our community strategy and advanced our community advocacy skills. Connecting and learning from other community leaders in the group has been an added bonus!

Revital Barletz

Stateshift has been immensely valuable to me, providing me with a plethora of great ideas and an excellent framework for engaging with my community right from the outset.
