Guild of Intervision

A gathering for solo professionals - entrepreneurs, freelancers and service providers. Bring a real problem. Leave with real solutions. Solved together. Face to face.

The Guild of Intervision crest: a circle of six peers around a gold star, set in a shield

Solo work has left you solving in isolation

You work alone. Maybe from a spare room, a kitchen table, a co-working desk you rent by the day. You're meant to be doing creative, skilled work. Yet the room around you is about as uncreative as it gets.

When you hit a wall, there’s no one beside you to turn to except for AI and Google. You perform confidently for your clients, but often you’re guessing alone, backed up by a chatbot’s advice.

But when did you last turn to a real life person with your question?

Professionals used to grow in community

  • Guilds trained and supported craftspeople through their peers.

  • Symposiums gave thinkers a room to be challenged.

  • Coffeehouses gathered merchants and scientists to argue ideas daily.

  • Ateliers trained artists shoulder to shoulder, correcting each other's work.

  • Even absinthe bars gathered artists and aristocrats to ponder ideas.

Different rooms, different crafts, same instinct:

Real problems get solved by real people, together, in person.

Somewhere along the way, solo, digital work took that away.

We're bringing it back.

The Intervision Format

  • A small circle of 4-6 professionals.

  • Each participant’s problem is the center of attention for 30 minutes.

  • Then the focus shifts to the others’ and you help solve them.

  • We finish when everyone has a solution to work with

No Pitches. No networking. No presentations to a passive room.

Our Values

  • Human First, Built By Hand

    Every gathering happens in-person, face to face. Every solution leaves the room as something you can hold.

  • The Problem Matters More Than The Persona

    The problem you bring is worth more than the persona you'd rather present. Arrive with what you haven't solved - that honesty is the price of entry.

  • Physical Presence Is The Commitment

    No dial-ins, no half-attention, no slipping out early. To be in the room is to be fully in it and we ask that in full.

Apply with a conversation

If this is speaking to you, we invite you to meet for a coffee in ericeira.

No forms. No pitch decks, no bios, nothing to prepare in advance.

WhatsApp whichever of us you'd feel most comfortable talking to, and we'll arrange a time and place to meet.

We're purposefully building something small, personal and intimate.
