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…

Because networks are limited and the trust placed in them misleading.

A random person with the right skillset could create a wonderful parnership not possible unless you have a big network.

Steward AI | Cleveland, OH | Remote

Indoor farm monitoring using cameras and ML

Pre-revenue. I have a prototype in use in a couple local farms. I have a couple more farms ready to get started.

I can handle the software/hardware/product. I am looking for someone who knows the agtech industry and can help grow the company.

Email is in profile. Let me know if you have any good ideas on how to find farmers!

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. jared AT nillium DOT com

You are spot on with this concept. I’ve spoke to a few people in the midsize markets and yes this will work. Think marketplace - content sellers and content buyers (newsrooms). Seed the market by making it categorical, based on the size and shape of the regions.

Who I am:

Statistics Ph.D., Caltech BSCS, 10 year Microsoft (Windows Server dev then Senior Quantitative Manager). I teach University of Washington's intro Statistical Software class (R, Python, SAS, etc.)

Specialties within stats/machine learning: finanical risk (I'm a CFA and was on the FRM committee); bioinformatics (thesis and publications on statistical genetics); forecasting/optimization (current consulting work on long term adaptive capacity planning). Very into Bayesian computing and MCMC methods.

Consulting page: RedmondAnalytics.com Resume: https://sergeredmondanalytics.github.io/ra-public/Serge.pdf

serge@redmondanalytics.com

I'd be interested in:

- If you're doing a data science, fintech, or bioinformatics startup, talk to me to see if I can help.

- I have a few small conventional web/mobile app concepts that I'd love to seed-fund and provide technical guidance for (but I wouldn't have much hands-on coding/marketing time myself). I'm always on the lookout for someone to partner with on these - either a coder type or a hustler/marketer type...

>.. if the existing founder can't recruit a cofounder from their network? For immigrants like me, who didn't grow up in the US, the "existing network" is largely absent / non-existent. So we always have difficulty trying to find co-founders as the people you can trust the most in your network are your "butt buddies" (in hindi we call them Chaddi-dost) and they are not here. And most engineers, esp. technical engineer…

Denis de Bernardy | Hungary | http://mesoconcepts.com Job-tech. I'm finding very strong market signals, and I've identified what in my experience (helped dozens of businesses improve their business prospects) is a sane path to profitability with minimal investment. I'm currently moving forward alone, but quite frankly I'd love to have a partner or two to do the technical parts so I can focus on fund raising (if neede…

What is the ML component?

It's not set in stone.
