Ask HN: Who's looking for a cofounder?

15 points by dmnd ↗ HN
Last month this tread was resurrected as a complement to the monthly who's hiring threads. Let's keep it going!

You should mention what you are working on, where you are located, what stage you are in, who you are looking for, what you can bring to the table and a way to contact you.

See last month's thread for examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9795503

Hi guys,

working on Scrooge (http://scroogeup.com) - Google Alerts for recurring payments. It manages all your subscriptions and notifies you before they're due and you're billed automatically.

It's in private beta and we're looking for someone to head marketing.

If anyone's interested (or want some beta invites), feel free to drop an email to hi@scroogeup.com

This is very useful, but you need to make sure you have very, VERY strong privacy agreements.

Your biggest competitors may be the banks themselves and the fact that a customer may trust their bank (who already knows what they're buying anyway), over you.

I am working on Education Technology product and currently have an MVP with a few paying customers already. But the MVP is not good enough to make it scalable and hence working on a full re-write now that the market is validated.

Technology: angularjs, laravel/php, git, gitlab, stripe, jwt, mandrill etc.

I am looking for a collaborator who is good at the non-technical side including experience with sales/marketing, business development and bonus points if you have interest in education and learning in general. If you can create great content including things like instructional design, more bonus. The reason I use the word "collaborator" is that I don't think you can become a co-founder right away unless we get to the point where we both feel it is the right thing to do. So in the beginning, we will start with a freelance type of agreement for which you will be compensated of course but the idea will be to hopefully get you on-board as a co-founder later on.

I ideally prefer someone in the US and even more east coast because I really believe that we need to work in person at least in the beginning.

This is like asking "who's looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend"?

I've had many co-founders over the years and finding one that will actually work out in the end is like finding a unicorn.

Any car guys on HN?

I'm working on a community of vehicle data (http://shadenut.com). A free, wiki style app to find every piece of information you need to work on a car (Torque specs, repair guides, fluid capacities, etc). All this data currently exists but it's either scattered throughout various forums and not always accurate or you have to pay for it. Imagine changing the automotive industry the way stack overflow changed the software industry.

I'm currently working on a prototype but would love to partner with someone who can take on the business side.
