Ask HN: Who is seeking a cofounder?

#32Looking for a business partner.
I’m a designer and developer with one successful small company built in the past. Looking to do it again.
I can execute a mobile / web product which scales on Amazon AWS. Think local scale (millions of users) not internet scale (billions). Like a lifestyle business.
I have my own ideas but open to any new idea. Anything works which can be executed by a few people. I’m interested in a 6-7 figure business instead of the usual unicorn.

#33These 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…
Speaking personally I'd happily connect with a random stranger. Sometimes you don't have the right networks owing to geography and/or past career and/or having worked remotely for the better part of your life. And if you know how to interview (which most techies do not) then you mostly know how to weed out the wrong type of person.

Vesting equity makes this pretty harmless. 4 year vest with a 1 year cliff gives you a year of dating even if you start working together before ever meeting, which of course is the most extreme absurd example.

#35I am working on image search engine (something like elasticsearch but for images). I apply some deep learning magic (like object detection, classification etc), face recognition, exif extraction and some other. MVP is almost ready and soon I will be able to handle quries like:
content="dog and cat on the table" exif.apperture>5 exif.data>2005 faces.count >4
But I am pretty weak at frontend development and pitching/presentations. email: hudvin@gmail.com

We're a tech-enabled services startup providing primarily accounting and other back-office services to the property management industry.

#37I have a SAAS product which is already selling but I am looking for a sales cofounder to explore new niches.
What sort of SaaS product?

#39Looking for a solid mentor/guide that is chill to work with and has cool projects they need help working/brainstorming on.
I also have a couple ideas that might be interesting to MVP, for example:

Having seen online dating go from distasteful niche ==> new classifieds for the desperate ==> somewhat mainstream among early adopters ==> dominating offline dating channels, I wouldn't be surprised if online cofounder dating happens somewhat similarly.
