A San Francisco woman has turned her love of outdoor adventures into a side hustle generating more than $10,000 in monthly revenue, with about $2,000 to $3,000 in profit after expenses, she says.

Alena Beliauskaya, director of product management at Wolf Games, started 12 Scrappy Founders after becoming frustrated with what she considered overly transactional networking events. The community now has more than 600 founders in its network, although only about 20 are paid members, with revenue coming from memberships, brand sponsorships, and paid experiences.
