#62Question for HN: I cannot imagine starting a company with a stranger. There are so many intense moments, points of extreme trust, and ways for things to go wrong, so much passion, and so much blending of self and company, that I wouldn't ever feel comfortable embarking with someone that I didn't know incredibly well as a cofounder. Are there reasons to believe that starting with a stranger as a cofounder will general…
We often ignore that your passion, vision, ideals and intimate dreams can be common (shared) between people, often people have the exact same idea at the same time. Making it much easier to start a company, because values naturally align. You can see this when Google and Apple suddenly collaborate even thou they certainly exist as competitors.

#63Well I think this is great, and some of the posts are from startups that actually have a MVP already built, with founders who have decent credentials. There's also some fun moonshots in there like this one: https://founderslist.com/cofounders/view/80
If you're in SF or already part of the startup/VC community this website probably isn't for you. But for thousands of entrepreneurial minded, experienced people who just need a partner, this is a great resource. (Of course caveats apply! But don't they always? If you're joining/founding a startup nobody will do your due diligence but you!)
Thanks for posting, and I will be going through some of the posts with great interest.

> How do you lose a contact by seeing if they’re interested in a new product/service? From the perspective of the prospect, the salesperson is making a recommendation. If the startup fails to deliver, then it can cause a lot of problems in the relationship.
Sure, you'd want to make sure you don't over-promise, and of course the buyer would realize they're buying from a startup (and presumably getting a discount as an early adopter). Anyway, my point is just that this sort of matching service could work out in some circumstances, and it is in some ways easier than trying to match founders who are sharing equity.

The point of parent of this thread is that developers tend to receive very unreasonable requests from people wanting to start companies and are not developers, and I am demonstrating that there are other professions that receive the same treatment from the developers.

Did you set me up for that? :-)

#67Interesting idea with likely unwanted consequences. Browsed it for 10 minutes and it seems the vast majority of posts are "looking for technical co-founder to program my idea."
Similarly: Cofounders looking for salesperson to work for commission only.
plenty of affiliate marketers that would take it up

Not parsing it quickthrower2. I get two possible parses:
Bisons (Buffalo) bewilder (buffalo) Buffalo bisons (Buffalo bisons) confuse (buffalo) annoy (buffalo) and vexate (buffalo) other bisons (buffalo).
But that is not grammatical.
Neither is my second parse:
Bisons from Buffalo (Buffalo buffalo) Bisons from Buffalo (Buffalo buffalo) confuse (buffalo) and vexate (buffalo) other bisons (buffalo).
Am I missing it?
You can do this: Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Which is like my first post except each alternative definition of buffalo (confuse, annoy, vexate) is included using the word buffalo in its stead.
But that's just gratuitous.
