Still in concept validation phase. I have observed a few problems that require solving.

- consolidated sales and marketing solution that solves the problem of silos caused by multiple tools used in different phases of marketing (leave alone sales). Think of analytics, retargeting, lead gen, email marketing. All different tools with siloed reporting. - Same problem but with a focus on Real estate - SaaS based property management for folks that have 3-4 properties (causual landlords)

Looking too collaborate. I have experience on the business side and a little bit of coding in python (and even lesser) Javascript. Email me at aseem aseem us if you want to discuss. Based on San Jose, CA

I'm a former TV news producer, looking to build a hybrid consulting/SaaS solution for the news industry. There are lots of small-midsize newsrooms who could be operating far more efficiently, but just do not have the tools.

I feel confident in the tech and the product sides of things, but looking for someone who can help with sales/pricing/operations stuff.

In NYC for now, considering LA too.

Think: SwiftUI meets React, runs anywhere and provides a beautiful app kit for building desktop apps (designed to go mobile soon).

Then: add an App Store built in, all together as a sort of operating system layer that lets you build many types of apps incredibly easily.

Finally: apps in a shared workspace all can communicate with each other using typed APIs. Read gmail messages, write to a Postgres database. All config shared between your team.

Trying to do for intranet systems what Slack did to chat. Make it wonderfully easy and powerful.

Cool part is it’s far along (multiple years in), I’ve already raised money on good terms from Founders Fund and it’s just me. I’d love to find one truly great developer to join and help out and shower with equity.

These threads always interest me.

Who is really willing to bring on an absolute stranger to their early-stage startup and heap a bunch of responsibility (and equity) on them? It seems a random individual from the internet would be very likely worse than no partner at all, considering you're pretty well locked together and you have no idea how that person handles conflict or pressure or really anything.

And why would one be interested in joining a random early stage startup if the existing founder can't recruit a cofounder from their network? Doesn't that tell you something right there?

Able | Remote (US/Europe) | https://able.bio/ Building a LinkedIn alternative for programmers. Users can earn skills on their profiles through code challenges, write blog posts and find jobs. Looking for a technical co-founder with strong Python/Django experience. Have built most of the MVP already but need someone to share the load and help engage with the developer community.

I'll try any LinkedIn alternative these days, since they have become so bloated.

But I've decided not to register myself with Able, since GitHub registration asks for the following, which I don't agree:

> Able by RhettTrickett > wants to access your account > Personal user data > Full access > This application will be able to read and write all user data. This includes the following: > Private email addresses > Private profile information > Followers

Also, (full?) access to my primary organization. Hard pass. Why full access?

There are intervening steps between meeting someone and deciding to work long-term with them.

My cofounder and I didn't know each other at the outset we worked together for 6 months before deciding to commit full time and draw up paperwork, etc.
