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…

I think you can definitely gel with a stranger, but you have to know how to date. Tinder works because we know how to date. There's no protocol to founder dating...so I made one up: https://github.com/rickyyean/founder-dating-ritual

My startup is here - 100-wifi.com You see a wifi say 100-flyingYoga and would like to know more about this Flying yoga. So you join the wifi and are taken to the Flying Yoga company web pages where you get the info. Then you see 100-MikesBurgers. You join it and read up on makes these Burgers the talk of the town. The product is developed and tested. We need help with product fit and marketing. Looking for people wit…

Not the OP, but have you found that people really join these WiFi networks? At least in the US, it seems like most people use their cell data instead.

Looking 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…

Hi let's connect! I'd be interested to hear about your ideas/experience, I definitely want to go the route of a 6-7 figure business too.

I posted a couple of minutes ago so I can tell you why I did it.

There are INCREDIBLE talented people out there that for several reasons never start a company.

Some of those reasons could be the lack of opportunities or because they just didn't have the chance of working on something cool or with the right people.

Why would anyone join? Basically for the same reason, in our case, we are a little ahead in terms of funding and customers, but as someone said: " 'A players' like to play with 'A players'".

Company: Polar

https://getpolarized.io/

We're building a platform for knowledge workers to capture what they've learn and a framework to prevent forgetting important material.

We have about 5k VERY passionate and active users. They've uploaded about 130GB of content so far. Zero effective churn... They definitely like the product and are willing to pay.

Not profitable yet as we have to focus on growth.

Looking for someone really strong in web design/UI+react or product/growth who has built out a large startup in the past.
