Hi everyone - I've been a product manager at Microsoft as well as a few startups (Zocdoc, TpT) and I've seen that skills for success in any role are becoming increasingly ambiguous.

I'm building Tome to help people identify their skill gaps and access a personalized library of learning content. I'm currently inviting people to request early access here: https://www.tomelearning.com/.

I have a background in CS but I'm looking for an experienced technical partner in the NYC area - feel free to ping me at aravindh.dorai @ gmail.com.

I am currently building a brain stimulation device. I believe that we are only beginning to tap the potential of brain stimulation, and that the technology will be able to help with a wide variety of health issues, as well as help achieve optimal performance in whatever matters to you.I have a working prototype (which helped me tremendously with chronic pain and depression), a vision I'd love to discuss further, and I'm ready to fund the company myself/have interested investors.

I'm looking for somebody who has shipped consumer hardware before. Doesn't have to be brain-related, just looking for somebody who has successfully managed transforming a prototype into a manufactured product.

I'm based in LA, s.alexashenko@gmail.com (Sergey)

Great timing, I am!

I’m a software engineer with 15 years of startup experience including two IPOs. I have an idea for accessory subscriptions that fills a niche that seems to have no competitors.

I have need of the following, any help on any would be amazing:

- full stack generalist engineer: I cant code all the time if I’m doing everything else - business statistician: revenue models around subscriptions are fairly difficult - marketing guru: I’ve coded my entire life, never been much for marketing campaigns

Technical engineer looking for a businessman.

The EspUSB is a WiFi-controlled keyboard and mouse. A small dongle fits completely inside a USB port, and creates a WiFi network that you can connect to from your phone. It shares a web page, where you can drag the cursor around, or type in text, and have it appear directly on the computer. A video of it in action is on YouTube. [1]

The original open-source design is by [cnlohr], and is available on Github [2]. It was around from 2016, and I waited patiently for someone to manufacture it so I could buy it on eBay/Tindie/AliExpress/etc. Nobody built it.

Finally I studied the design files, figured out the BOM from the schematics, guessed a load of manufacturing parameters, and got PCBWay to build me 3 prototypes. They work!

I've since updated the firmware to let me type in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Thai, etc - not only English and German. This is particularly important for foreigners in such countries, where it's easier to type on a virtual keyboard on a phone, instead of putting stickers all over a laptop keyboard.

Now I'd like to order more EspUSB devices, so that other people can get them too. 8 people have expressed an interest so far, and one of them wanted 10 units. I can afford to buy 100 units at $25 each from the factory, if I'm confident that I'll have either the money or the devices at the end. I do not want to make a profit on it; if you do, you can keep the money. If you're willing to handle the business side (FCC/CE certification issues, tax, import duties, etc) and assure me that I won't be sued, then I can get you the devices.

I’m hoping to attend the YC Hackathon next month and I want to form a team to work on an idea. I know enough Swift to hack together MVP’s with Firebase.

The project is related to gaming and Twitch streaming. Feel free to send me an email if interested.

Thanks!
