It's just you and whatever other membership you're able to scrounge up and create experiences for.

I was one of the founding members of a large NIC/IFC national with hundreds of thousands of members and nearly 300 chapters. We had an expansion consultant stay with us for a whole semester (that was of debatable benefit) and had constant visits from consultants and other interaction with HQ.

You're talking about starting from scratch, just you and someone on a computer or pledging something which exists. Understand these are two very different experiences.

Thanks. Yes, those are two different experiences. You made things more clear!
