Apply with me to YC in the next year and change the world

1 points by etewiah ↗ HN
Okay so this is a riff on a famous HN post but it is genuine - I am looking for a cofounder for PropertyWebBuilder.

About 5 years ago I built an open source real estate website builder. It gained some traction but failed in its main objective which was to help me find someone to work with me on the commercial version.

I recently released the commercial SAAS version but as I still haven't found a cofounder I am going to put out a call here. Over the last few years I have clarified the requirements for the product that will have the widest market appeal by speaking to dozens of potential clients. For one I went the full hog and built a site for €5000 plus a €100 monthly fee. Once I achieve scale I can be profitable at a fraction of that price.

Who do I want to meet?

Initially I wanted a technical cofounder but now most of the important features have been built. Would still be nice to have one more technical person on board but I feel the most value would come from someone with a strong marketing / sales background. The next major phase for PropertyWebBuilder is to figure out a sales strategy and experiment with as many markets as possible.

If interested please reach out and tell me about (1) something awesome you've worked on and (2) why you would be right for this.

I'm not going to post links to the product here. If you are genuinely interested you can find it and I don't want to give the impression that I'm posting this as a cheap marketing tactic.

I'm throwing a hail Mary here - .... ;)

Just apply as a solo founder.

Maybe you will meet someone at YC.

Or even better, talk to the people at YC.

They probably have seen this before and have insight into what is likely to work and not to work.

Probably the mot important question is how are sales?
