Hola, I just launched https://noisycamp.com , an AirBnb for Musicians. I'm trying to make it easier for music studio owners and musicians to reserve, pay and manage their practice spaces. I just released the first version of the web app, and I'm starting to reach studio owners to create a base inventory of studios. I'm looking for someone with strong sales and product skills, able to help me developing the business s…

This is a cool idea. I searched a few major cities and didn't get any results though.

Thanks. I just launched the project last weekend. I'll start reaching studios in the next few days.

I've been working on FluentCard.com - trying to build a better flashcard app for learning to read and write Chinese. The MVP is more or less done, and I'm honestly not sure what to do next or where to take it. I've been using it for my own studies and it's been very effective. If anyone's interested in teaming up on it, hit me up.

Lawyers of HN:

I'm looking for a co-founder for our law firm, NeonLaw.com. We're building out a SaaS product, https://www.DeleteYourData.com so far with some decent success and plan to scale it this year. I also have some MRR with our business offering https://www.neonlaw.com/practice-areas/business and some ongoing litigation (which I hope to do less and less of).

Ideally, I can work with a privacy-conscious progressive attorney.

Interested? Please e-mail me at nick@neonlaw.com.

I've bootstrapping an ecomm analytics SaaS at https://www.sourcemedium.com/ . There's already product market fit and the company grew to 6-figure ARR since May 2020. Cash-flow positive & profitable since day 1. Slated to double again in Q1 2021. Goal is to reach $1mil ARR with or without investment. There's decent amount of investor interest and growth has only been organic word of mouth so far. The primary needs are…

Interesting...Curious, how did you get to product market fit? Luck, tactics, strategy?

Solo founder of https://fixed.link a URL shortener that got your back. Features are MarTech focused, with custom domains, analytics, custom link previews, but also fairly consumer friendly.

Ideally, looking for someone either exceptionally capable in handling the business side of growth (sales, pitches, marketing) or on the tech side, familiar with taking Node stacks to the next level.

Reach out via HN if you want to talk or have any questions.

Having worked on a couple of failed relationships, it’s also ok to be a sole founder. Perhaps the problem is with me, I personally like having 100% control over initial formation of the company.

I guess, a team is much more productive in the early stage. But one can’t ditch co-founders later when 95% of development work is done and the rest 5% are customization for particular customer.

Definitely. Also depends on the type of company you want to build. If you want to build something that's going to become the next big thing, potentially raising a seed round, its better to have a cofounder or two.

I've been working on a live streaming site for DJs and artists ( https://slipmat.io ) for past 4 years and the project is now in a state where it should probably be incorporated to get it to next level.

The current site is a state of the art basic streaming platform with a ton of bespoke functionality for artists, and I have lots of potential ideas for building new features for more higher end segment willing to pay for them (like gig booking and more interactive virtual shows).

This project is a very much an open source mindset and during last few months we’ve started to publish our first open source packages. My hope would be to be able to make everything sustainable as an open source project by the community for the community.

I’m looking for someone who could help me either build this forward or help with business side of things and raising money for building the business itself. I’m capable of handling the technical side of things but to get to next level we would need more both deep backend and frontend knowledge. I’m located in Finland, but everything in this project is set up to be remote first and location or timezones should not be a big problem.

I do have a side-project that I would love to finish up and monetize. It's a personal budgeting application (think YNAB, Every dollar, etc.) I coded up a proof of concept. It's been neglected for a few weeks, but having a partner would definitely be the kick I need to continue working on it. This is definitely side-project territory. I am not looking at spending more than 10hrs a week on this until and unless it is s…

Budgeting has always been interesting to me. What is your tech stack?

CourtBell : Looking for Non-Technical Co-founder

I'm David and I'm the technical founder of CourtBell which has a couple products. One that I'm rolling out now is a national text message reminder for court hearings (HearingReminder.com). The other, much bigger product, is a specialized tool for BI for courts.

I've done the technical work on this and I'm looking for someone to handle marketing and sales. My email is in my profile. Looking forward to talking to you!
