No - you don't need an organization.

What is the exact error message?  Is this via the New Project button at <https://app.pulumi.com>?

yes sir. it told me to execute: 'pulumi new javascript -s rrichardsr3/javascript-dev' i also tried golang. The exact error is:

error: could not create stack: [404] Not Found: Organization 'rrichardsr3' not found

however if i do select organizations on the web app i do see an organization called rrichardsr3. I guess it defaults to your username if you dont have an org.

nevermind if i use pulumi new it works fine

Glad it works now!

Just to make sure I follow so we can investigate whether there is a bug here: Did you try `pulumi new` originally and saw that error?  But then later the same command worked?
