Playground Community vs First 50 Community

On the internet, people are “social,” but very very curated. Every feeling, action, thought can be documented, but most only share the version of themselves they want everyone else to see. It’s less social, and more performative. In the real world, social circles are small and have a tendency to become echo chambers. Those kismet, but genuine moments of connecting with a stranger are few and far between. It's time to fix it. Playground aims to reignite human connection without the memes, the curation and the emojis. Because, sometimes, a little nudge from a stranger exactly what you didn’t know you were looking for.

First 50 is a community where founders, operators, and CEOs with 10–50 employees get answers to the people questions they have — from each other, and from HR leaders who've spent decades inside companies their size. WHAT YOU GET • Access to a community of other founders to ask questions, gut check decisions, and see how others have handled your situation • Direct access to HR experts to help with your toughest people issues • Templates right sized for your team: onboarding and offboarding checklists, HR self audit checklists, PIPs templates, termination scripts, and more • An HR playbook offering practical guidance to the situations founders hit most (compensation conversations that went sideways, your first termination, etc.) • One short, recorded session a month on real issues founders face everyday • Quarterly one-on-one advisory session with a senior HR expert
