LegitList - Looking for Android/Flutter Partner

Legitlist is a friend-sourcing photo app for food and travel recommendations. Think Yelp with an Instagram interface, but with geo-functionalities (sort feed by real time distance) and food emoji filters, and with only your friends or people who's taste you trust (instead of anonymous elite reviewers).

We believe that your friends are your most credible source of experiences and we use all your food photos on your phone to create a collective food brain repo with your friends.

We are always trying to answer "What's the closest legit thing to me that my friends have done?" any where in the world.

Imagine a map of every Anthony Bourdain restaurant from his shows on your phone. Or every legit ramen restaurant your friend raved about from his last Tokyo trip.

We've built an IOS MVP and are currently private beta testing. But need an android dev or preferably a Flutter dev. Launching Fall this year.

Please feel free to reach out - planert41@gmail.com

or ask for a beta link :)

I have a SAAS product which is already selling but I am looking for a sales cofounder to explore new niches.

A link would be great if you feel comfortable sharing!

What sort of SaaS product?

It's an sports club management system (online reservations, classes, memberships, POS, Inventory...). Lots of modules that I will like to explore the possibility of selling it to another market.

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?

Not every engineer is an introvert, and cofounders need to wear multiple hats, so you're better getting a 75% engineer who is more versatile.

I’m looking for CEO/CMO. I have built numerous stock and option trading algorithms that are successful. I have struggled to market all this information. I’m a register investment advisor / SEC online advisor. I have an existing website and lots of data to back my claims. Primarily I’m a great chief algorithm builder/coder, but a poor marketer.

Looking for a serious remote front end (react/web) developer.

Its a good idea that can grow very fast. I have angel funding. I did a short landing page trial and got a few paid users.

I am doing the back-end development.

The front-end portion is very important, and will grow into a team very quickly. Probably single digit % equity.

email in profile.

My Hindi is far too limited to be sure, but I don't think that translation has the same connotation at all. Just fyi!

UK, London Building a VR exercise & fitness platform. Exercising at home is currently too boring for some of us to bother (even though we know more exercise would be good for our health) and simply watching videos gives no control of pace or any sense of progressing towards our goals. VR content can be so engaging and while Beat Saber shows exercise can be ludicrously fun, it's also repetitive for the arms and doesn'…

I'm not who you're looking for, but just wanted to say I was looking recently thinking 'surely there's a great VR+ANT setup for indoor cycling I could use as an excuse to get VR', and surprised that all I could find was Zwift. So, best of luck! -- potential customer ;)
