Yes - I am a technical founder, I have two products: One is a mass media monitoring startup, and the other is a deep learning startup that trades forex (ramen profitable) Both products are finished, and in production, but I have zero selling skills. I'm in London. Looking for someone to help me develop the products further.

Do you mind recommending which forex api you use? I've been interested in experimenting but it's hard to make the jump.

I am looking a technical co-founder to join me in a non-for-profit idea for a startup. I have technical skills, but it is not my strongest skill.

I want to do a CRM but for beneficiaries of social programs implemented by NGOs, Government, International Organizations or companies doing CSR. These organizations hardly do any monitoring of their programs, and this tool would help them achieve it by creating processes. This would allow them to follow-up a person and their indicators, to set-up reminders, and so on.

I would like to mix this with ML, in order to help them figure out which beneficiaries are more likely to benefit from their program (before enrolling them), and which one are more likely to drop-off their program.

My background: CS, work experience at povertyactionlab.org, and now accepted to an MPA at an Ivy League.

I can't work on it for free, but at a minimal Bay Area developer salary equity I'd be down to discuss it. Are you planning on fundraising? You mentioned your CS background - I hope this doesn't sound accusatory, but you haven't let on much about what you bring to the table as a non-technical founder and most would probably want to hear that as well.

I'm a technical co-founder looking for someone who can fundraise and ideally with bizdev/growth/finance skills and knowledge. I'm working on an MVP and have the product roadmap and go-to-market pretty much mapped out. Making digital privacy profitable and sexy.

Looking for a software engineering cofounder. I'm working on a project automating tasks around physical product development, and eventually leading into a SaaS/platform with some intelligence to take advantage of new directions in digital manufacturing. I have a feature roadmap and connections to some early users for sales/testing, but my background is not software engineering (MechE, manufacturing, and some EE/embed…

Hi, I am looking for a BizDev Cofounder.

I need someone to reach out to various banks and credit union for information, help create marking campaign, and just generally help with figuring out the different risk scenarios.

My company name is Penny Platform. We are a white-label mobile platform for banking.

We work the same way Android works for OEMs. And in this case, we'd be Google, and we are selling to Banks who will be like the OEMs.

If you are interested and are in the bay area. Message me at deon@giveapenny.co.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

At least once before, posting my email on HN lead to a lot of spam. Since there's no way to edit or delete comments after a few hours, it seemed like a bad idea to do it again. Making a reddit account takes literally 5 seconds so I didn't consider it much of a hurdle, especially since most people probably have one.

That's fair enough, although if you're looking for a non-technical partner it places a barrier in their way. Having a partially obscured contact address in your HN profile would be significantly simpler for a non-technical person trying to get in touch, and would seem reasonably spam resistant. But that's your choice, and all I was doing was trying to point out something you might not of thought of. I, for one, don't…

Agree with this point. It's one thing I learned about trying to approach non-tech folks.

Airborn OS ( https://www.airbornos.com/ ) - A secure alternative to Google Docs. Has been in development for 1.5 years. Looking for a cofounder to help with marketing. Email here: https://github.com/twiss

Can the co-founder be a non tech co-founder?

Yes, definitely! Marketing, seeking media attention, seeking investment.. are some of the things that would be super valuable. Shoot me an email if you might be interested.
