Before you pivot

I'm different and I'm not the only one. You guys have a resource of lurkers here who don't speak up often. I am an idea hacker. I don't code or at least don't code well but I've made a (really good) living off of coming to companies and pointing out and fixing whats wrong. My special skill is easily seeing the path to success and I'm certain I'm not unique. I've taken businesses from losing to 4-5x profit projections. Before you post the next "how my startup failed" or "how do you get a job after magic doesn't happen" consider reaching out to us lurkers. That is all.

I wouldn't want to work with anyone who calls themselves an "idea hacker" unironically.

If you'd like to work some magic on the project linked in my profile, I might cut you in on revenue if you can design and manage implementation of a product with $0 budget and no coding time from me. Sounds like a crappy deal for you except you can view it as, I'd license the code base for $0 and only a percent of revenue.
