Jay's community, The Lab, made $100K+ in its first 6 months. It continues to grow exponentially as members rave about it as their favorite place on the internet. But what if infinite growth wasn't the goal? Jay has decided to cap the size of the community, forgoing potential revenue in favor of member experience.
