Low-code for developers https://docs.hofstadter.io currently,
expanding to low-code for all in the enterprise.
Seeking a non-technical cofounder to assist in major ways. Experience in early stage startups, with developer focused and/or enterprise b2b products desired.
Our MVP is up, working on the MSP (sellable) and the customer pipelines and leads.
Full stack developer, designer, and entrepreneur seeking collaborators. Start small to build relationship, escalate into passive income strategy or full blown startup. Spaces of interest include ML/AI, biotech, video games, education, and real estate.
We're a tech-enabled services startup providing primarily accounting and other back-office services to the property management industry. We currently process thousands of invoices (90% computer generated) a day that we'd love to have ML optimize if there's interest (example of a limited-ish scope project). www.apmhelp.com
Hi there, I signed up with Kismet a long time ago and loved the idea. Unfortunately, most of the profiles kismet emailed to me were low quality. Most profiles were sparsely filled out. Are things better these days?
They are! Now people who don't fill out their profiles only get matched with other people who haven't filled theirs out. Of course in theory you could still get someone that pastes in lorem ipsum or something, but I haven't seen that happen yet.
How come you don't you add a field in the profile stating what they are there for like - need a cofounder, want to join a start up. Maybe an interest field too. Just some thoughts!
I'm a product designer in SF with MVP designs for a music discovery web app. I would also be interested in any other music-related projects. Email me: hey@2x4.co.
Instant group chat for nearby loosely affiliated people (who don’t necessarily know each other).
Unlocks value and solves problems of current options. Maintains some privacy, keeps out randos (no, isn’t one of those been done million times, who is around you app just based on GPS).
The magic happens in the backend, looking for someone who will focus on development of all server-side logic, definition and maintenance of the central database. You can make mobile apps that can handle lots of concurrent chats/chatrooms, thousands of users.
An MVP could be made in 8 weeks.
Quick blog with more details (much still omitted, lets talk), why it’s worth your talent and time, me, and more:
http://bit.ly/grp_app_HN
Have you ever been to a meetup or small conference, looking to talk to people with a certain interest but out of 40 people, you only get time to speak to 4? Thereby missing out on possible valuable conversations.
The app solves this problem*
Instantly attendees get access to a group chat. No one has to set it up, no one has to add others. Only people who are/did attending get access, no random unaffiliated people.
It "just works" solution.
Current solutions are sub optimal and they involves virtual schlep and so people don't use them.
*this is one use case, but there are broader uses cases where you would use it every single day.
From my experience its going to be a more than a week, but its possible less than 8, I agree. There is some backend stuff thats a bit more complex than avg chat app, but nothing crazy. I would rather overestimate the time then tell someone it is going to be simple.
Also both iOS and Android versions would have to be released to really test it (how it works makes a web version on mobile not possible).
If you know a person/people with skills who might be interested, pls let me know, thanks!
Techincal/strong coder. Looking for someone to collaborate with on startup ideas / projects. I have a few ideas of my own but open to other ideas as well. email: marcell.ortutay@gmail.com
Job-tech. I'm finding very strong market signals, and I've identified what in my experience (helped dozens of businesses improve their business prospects) is a sane path to profitability with minimal investment. I'm currently moving forward alone, but quite frankly I'd love to have a partner or two to do the technical parts so I can focus on fund raising (if needed), marketing, and sales instead.
Required if you reach out: Python, Scrapy, and experience with ML.
Side note: This thread should be part of the monthly HN whoishiring IMO.
Working on scheduling and tracking for construction workers. We are a team of 4 currently, 2 engineers, a product designer, and founder. We have a few pilot customers that have used our app.
What we are looking for is a senior engineer who can both scope out and takes control of a project end to end.
Or, a sales/operations person that can help sell, market, and grow the business.
If you are interested feel free to email me at deon@dockpad.io
2. I’m looking for a co-founder to join a crypto based lottery that is legally not a lottery (style is gaming) MVP is done but need some polishing (C++ / cross platform / background in game could be interesting) : Franck nouyrigat
Local accounting-ish startup is looking into expansion, altough going global would be very hard (accounting is very different in Mexico), the whole country is a very big market. We are profitable and the business is growing.
A fundraising tool for great causes. Find someone from your community(church, school, other) 1) Rideshare your commute 2) Rider gas money goes to a charity (easily can get to $1000-$2000 a year) 3. Save the planet.
Building a LinkedIn alternative for programmers. Users can earn skills on their profiles through code challenges, write blog posts and find jobs. Looking for a technical co-founder with strong Python/Django experience. Have built most of the MVP already but need someone to share the load and help engage with the developer community.
I'll try any LinkedIn alternative these days, since they have become so bloated.
But I've decided not to register myself with Able, since GitHub registration asks for the following, which I don't agree:
> Able by RhettTrickett
> wants to access your account
> Personal user data
> Full access
> This application will be able to read and write all user data. This includes the following:
> Private email addresses
> Private profile information
> Followers
Also, (full?) access to my primary organization. Hard pass. Why full access?
Thanks for the feedback, Fernando. I've transferred the app to the Able organization on Github and pushed a new build that only requests read access to your Github profile info. It should be up in 20 min. It's used soley to pre-populate your Able profile and you can edit/remove this info straight after auth'ing. Didn't realise that the base user scope was that extensive, sorry about that!
Still in concept validation phase. I have observed a few problems that require solving.
- consolidated sales and marketing solution that solves the problem of silos caused by multiple tools used in different phases of marketing (leave alone sales). Think of analytics, retargeting, lead gen, email marketing. All different tools with siloed reporting.
- Same problem but with a focus on Real estate
- SaaS based property management for folks that have 3-4 properties (causual landlords)
Looking too collaborate. I have experience on the business side and a little bit of coding in python (and even lesser) Javascript. Email me at aseem <at> aseem <dot> us if you want to discuss. Based on San Jose, CA
I'm a former TV news producer, looking to build a hybrid consulting/SaaS solution for the news industry. There are lots of small-midsize newsrooms who could be operating far more efficiently, but just do not have the tools.
I feel confident in the tech and the product sides of things, but looking for someone who can help with sales/pricing/operations stuff.
You are spot on with this concept. I’ve spoke to a few people in the midsize markets and yes this will work. Think marketplace - content sellers and content buyers (newsrooms). Seed the market by making it categorical, based on the size and shape of the regions.
Skillset: Team Building, Strategy, UX. Looking for an eccentric business co-founder to start a global marketing agency/co-working space/incubator hybrid out of rural Virginia. Contact me via https://www.vitalboisset.com
Think: SwiftUI meets React, runs anywhere and provides a beautiful app kit for building desktop apps (designed to go mobile soon).
Then: add an App Store built in, all together as a sort of operating system layer that lets you build many types of apps incredibly easily.
Finally: apps in a shared workspace all can communicate with each other using typed APIs. Read gmail messages, write to a Postgres database. All config shared between your team.
Trying to do for intranet systems what Slack did to chat. Make it wonderfully easy and powerful.
Cool part is it’s far along (multiple years in), I’ve already raised money on good terms from Founders Fund and it’s just me. I’d love to find one truly great developer to join and help out and shower with equity.
You see a wifi say 100-flyingYoga and would like to know more about this Flying yoga. So you join the wifi and are taken to the Flying Yoga company web pages where you get the info. Then you see 100-MikesBurgers. You join it and read up on makes these Burgers the talk of the town.
The product is developed and tested. We need help with product fit and marketing. Looking for people with experience in B2B and working with retail stores.
We found a few people do browse wifi networks. However, thats not our target audience. We are targeting people who WANT to get local info. Eg: guests at a restaurant WANT to look at the e-menu. Then the waiter directly them to 100-JohnsRestaurant wifi. Or as we have actually used - people in an event who WANT to get translation were directed to wifi 100-InnovationFair.
Who is really willing to bring on an absolute stranger to their early-stage startup and heap a bunch of responsibility (and equity) on them? It seems a random individual from the internet would be very likely worse than no partner at all, considering you're pretty well locked together and you have no idea how that person handles conflict or pressure or really anything.
And why would one be interested in joining a random early stage startup if the existing founder can't recruit a cofounder from their network? Doesn't that tell you something right there?
There are intervening steps between meeting someone and deciding to work long-term with them.
My cofounder and I didn't know each other at the outset we worked together for 6 months before deciding to commit full time and draw up paperwork, etc.
Speaking personally I'd happily connect with a random stranger. Sometimes you don't have the right networks owing to geography and/or past career and/or having worked remotely for the better part of your life. And if you know how to interview (which most techies do not) then you mostly know how to weed out the wrong type of person.
Vesting equity makes this pretty harmless. 4 year vest with a 1 year cliff gives you a year of dating even if you start working together before ever meeting, which of course is the most extreme absurd example.
This would seem to imply more of an employee relationship where only the stranger can get pushed out (not the existing founder get pushed out.) A good confounder relationship should hold all founders to equal account.
Having seen online dating go from distasteful niche ==> new classifieds for the desperate ==> somewhat mainstream among early adopters ==> dominating offline dating channels, I wouldn't be surprised if online cofounder dating happens somewhat similarly.
I assume people looking for co-founders aren't looking to "date" candidates for months/years and therefore delay raising/launching for a substantial period of time, so it's more like marrying someone you match with on Tinder after what can only be a cursory familiarization. Could be my own bias coloring that perception, though.
If they're looking for cofounders, their product could be at any stage, including not-even-started. Raising may not even be on the map yet, or ever. Maybe you want to find a co-founder who wants to bootstrap exclusively.
Maybe you want to find someone who's a good culture fit with you, and do a small project together. If it goes well, keep going, if not, stop there. So it really is more like dating than marrying.
I think you can definitely gel with a stranger, but you have to know how to date. Tinder works because we know how to date. There's no protocol to founder dating...so I made one up: https://github.com/rickyyean/founder-dating-ritual
I posted a couple of minutes ago so I can tell you why I did it.
There are INCREDIBLE talented people out there that for several reasons never start a company.
Some of those reasons could be the lack of opportunities or because they just didn't have the chance of working on something cool or with the right people.
Why would anyone join? Basically for the same reason, in our case, we are a little ahead in terms of funding and customers, but as someone said: " 'A players' like to play with 'A players'".
This raises a question about co-founder responsibility and subterfuge though. I think in terms of ability, an 'A player' can probably easily tell the level of ability of another 'A player' that works in the same domain as them, but if you're thinking of bringing on a co-founder because you can handle the technical aspects, but need a business-person, can you as a talented specialist judge how good someone is at something completely un-related? I think there is potential hubris there.
My hope would be that they can bullshit their way through running a business as well as I can bullshit my way through code and infrastructure.
(yes I am looking, I have a small product ready for customers built with the exit intention of selling the product to another company at a later time. Basically the idea was to make a small business focused infrastructure toolbox. The logging product is working. I think chat and filesharing could be real easy wins. Slyops dot net. Contact link there works.)
>.. if the existing founder can't recruit a cofounder from their network?
For immigrants like me, who didn't grow up in the US, the "existing network" is largely absent / non-existent. So we always have difficulty trying to find co-founders as the people you can trust the most in your network are your "butt buddies" (in hindi we call them Chaddi-dost) and they are not here.
And most engineers, esp. technical engineers are introverts and do not like going to networking events.
There had been instances where introverts have learnt to network as they were trying to gain traction for their product or idea. Being introvert should not be a disqualifying criteria for someone from being successful
Indeed; I'm an extremely introverted person, but that's only because people don't actually want to talk business 100% of the time. If that's what we're doing, I am very much extroverted.
I agree growth is possible, and I'd never "disqualify" an introvert. Perhaps a better way to put it is I'd disqualify someone unafraid to network, introvert or otherwise.
In US English, I’ve always understood it to mean guys who are attached at the hip / spend a lot of time together/ to the extent they could be mistaken as being in s romantic relationship / BFFs. I felt it’s appropriate but odd used in this example. Not bad for ESL though.
That said, just because I grew up in US and my butt buddies are here doesn’t mean they’re good cofounders. I’m regularly the only entrepreneurial person in my various friend groups.
I could not have said it better. Apart from the immigrant history and technical oriented, my situation is that the Chaddi-dost/butt-buddies are not oriented the same way inregards to making a product or build a company. I feel a minor proportion of the human population happen to have that sort of relationship.
wait what. "chaddi dost" is literally, "underwear buddies," not "butt buddies." "chaddi" in some cases also generally means just shorts, not necessarily what's closest to your skin. The connotation is you and your friend knew each other from when you ran around in diapers.
>Doesn't that tell you something right there?
No, and a cursory Googling quantitatively debunks this bias, though it's obviously a convenient assertion to give a VC a little more reassurance on an early investment.
But really, are we all not just 'absolute strangers', 'random individuals from the internet', with a 'random early stage startup'... until we're not?
Our incredibly finite networks only form one way—by meeting new people—which has to happen somehow. Clearly there is a mutual vetting process before agreeing to work together; and extending beyond one's current network doesn't necessarily represent a failure of one (or one's current network) to satisfy each relationship. See also Joy's Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy's_law_(management)
Well, we are all strangers until we are not...but confounding with an acquaintance means I’ve had a chance to get the person before working with them ( like hiring via referrals rather than hiring blind.)
the general advice or best experience seem to be to team up with people that you have worked together with for a few years.
but as someone who effectively has been working alone as a freelancer for most of my adult life i simply don't have any coworkers or work friends.
and don't get me started on networking. i wasted lots of time at so called networking events, to the point that when i moved to a smaller city the lack of events felt like a relief.
therefore my only chance to find partners has been random connections.
so far the results were not good. the biggest obstacle being lack of funds.
i can't afford to work for equity only if i join someone else, and i can't afford to pay someone if they were to join me.
But you can afford to work for equity if it’s your own project? Mayhaps your problem is that you only see your project as valuable and are subconsciously dismissing other potential projects that could kickstart your own
most startups fail. the likelyhood that the earned equity will be enough to kickstart my own project years later is to small to be worth the risk.
if i join someone for equity, then it has to be a project that i am actually interested in enough that i'd start it on my own if i had the opportunity.
so it's not my project vs your project but it is my interests vs your interests. if our interests align, i'll join you, even for equity only.
however at the end of the day i still have to put food on the table, so if you are looking for 100% commitment, i simply can't afford that.
i was part of a startup based on that premise. it failed because noone could put in enough time, and the founder rejected the idea to finance ourselves with consulting work believing that if we did that we'd never get to work on the startup because we'd be busy building up a consulting firm.
i don't believe that's true, because somehow i manage to make a living from consulting and still have time to work on my project.
I had a cofounder who held this same position. I offered to do all the work and funnel it into the company and even that was a bad idea because then no one technical could work on the project... even though we were talkig about funding an offshore dev team. Sometimes idiots gone be idiots
For this very reason sometime back I created a slack group(https://tinyurl.com/tefogroup) for technical founders and aspiring technical founders to meetup online, try some projects together, get to know each other and seek advice from other experienced founders before actually doing a startup. It helps in the long run if the relationship is built organically.
I met some wonderful people this way, sometimes you just have to be open-minded and not pessimistic. Most of my moments where I met people who changed my life were complete strangers during random circumstances.
It's an sports club management system (online reservations, classes, memberships, POS, Inventory...). Lots of modules that I will like to explore the possibility of selling it to another market.
I’m a designer and developer with one successful small company built in the past. Looking to do it again.
I can execute a mobile / web product which scales on Amazon AWS. Think local scale (millions of users) not internet scale (billions). Like a lifestyle business.
I have my own ideas but open to any new idea. Anything works which can be executed by a few people. I’m interested in a 6-7 figure business instead of the usual unicorn.

Not every engineer is an introvert, and cofounders need to wear multiple hats, so you're better getting a 75% engineer who is more versatile.
My Hindi is far too limited to be sure, but I don't think that translation has the same connotation at all. Just fyi!
That said, just because I grew up in US and my butt buddies are here doesn’t mean they’re good cofounders. I’m regularly the only entrepreneurial person in my various friend groups.
Or, I suppose, 'BFF', but perhaps not even teenage girls can bring themselves to use that seriously today (I suspect it's 'so last year').
Attached at the hip is more like it. These are guys you grow up with and know their darkest secrets :)
