In order to increase odds of building scaleable tech business I want to partner up with someone who is based in US. I'm nodejs developer (and other skills) and have been building online product for over a decade. I'm base in Eastern Europe, but would love to move to US. However, at the moment thats not possible. Currently I have not particular idea in mind, but with like-minded people brainstorming comes natural.

Do you need a business partner for managing office and teams. Or is it ok if you just business presence in the US and people working remote or freelance ??

I prefer remote work. I need someone who lives in US, so has a good understanding of local market, mindset and ability to meet other people.

Everyone wants to live in the US buddy. Get in line, work hard. You'll be able to move eventually. There's no shortcuts.

Post a portfolio, project, or specific concept to build, and an email for people to contact you.

I don't want to live in US. I want my business to be in US.

I don't believe in lines. I believe in shortcuts. Not easy ones, but shortcuts that are risky and takes time.
