I am in LA and previously co-founded a successful startup that sold to Hootsuite. Went through two accelerator programs. I do product, design, and operations. Looking for a technical co-founder who can do iOS and backend to help me launch a dating app that will kill Tinder/Bumble/Hinge and change the way people date for decades. No more swiping. I want a 50/50 partner, no bullshit you get 5% deal. strykerguides at gm…

What was your previous startup? Im currently running a startup and acquisition by a Hootsuite type app is one of our possible exit strategies.

Reach out to me via email and I'm happy to talk further.

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…

the general advice or best experience seem to be to team up with people that you have worked together with for a few years.

but as someone who effectively has been working alone as a freelancer for most of my adult life i simply don't have any coworkers or work friends.

and don't get me started on networking. i wasted lots of time at so called networking events, to the point that when i moved to a smaller city the lack of events felt like a relief.

therefore my only chance to find partners has been random connections.

so far the results were not good. the biggest obstacle being lack of funds.

i can't afford to work for equity only if i join someone else, and i can't afford to pay someone if they were to join me.

no choice but to keep trying

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.
