It would be great if whoishiring takes over this.
Example:
SEEKING CO-FOUNDER | FinTech | CEO/Sales | US/EU/Worldwide | Pre-Seed
A great idea in the taxation niche, MVP ready to go. Ideally someone with local connections to SMEs.
(Also, whoishiring already posts 3 threads a month and I'd rather that number go down than up! but my attempt to kill the Freelancer one, or rather to merge it in with the others, met with resistance some years ago)
I think we had a short conversation about this a few months ago. Mostly this is coming out of the success of the "Who's Hiring" model. No sign-ups, no filtering. Contact whoever you'd like to contact.
On a personal note, I've met some of the most talented colleagues I've ever had a chance to work with here on HN.
I wanted to recreate the same opportunities that HN's "Who's Hiring" opened for me but focusing on Co-Founders.
A monthly or at least quarterly thread enables a quick browse of what people are interested in creating. I enjoy the sentence or paragraph cofounder pitches that can be read in seconds instead of going through scores of profiles. I raise my digital pitchfork in support of these threads! 43 votes for this thread in 3 hours, seems others do to.
I'm open to your argument but that particular logic doesn't work because these things always attract different sets of eyeballs, i.e. lots of people know about the one but not the other.
I am starting a new company which will make viral apps.
If you are interested in rapid growth hacking and have ideas on how to crack initial user acquisition rapidly for consumer apps, I would love to meet you.
I will be funding the operation myself and you get 40% of the company.
Hey I'm the founder of https://www.membrane.io. The platform to build team/personal automation tools.
I'm open to partnering with an engineer who's good at building a community, creating examples projects, talking to customers and generally taking over all the engineering that's not building the core tech.
Preferably someone who likes Rust (entire stack is Rust).
Feel free to DM me on twitter (same username) or juan at membrane dot io
Local group chat. Been done 1000 times, but most fundamentally don’t understand the problem they are trying to solve. Grouping of nearby and with similar association can be done using clever tech methods.
Seeking skilled 1 or 2 co-founders for iOS and backend development.
Not web3 or privacy zealot. Focus on iteration and pushing out new versions. This will be built and be big, the question is by who. Us or someone else?
Me: Not tech but have built 2 things. Not first time dreamer. see link in profile.
The pitch of what ‘local group chat’ means to you is still unclear to me.
Also, how do you square this circle?
> can be done using clever tech methods
> Me: Not tech but
True. It is a little vague. I will update what I mean a bit my link. Preferably I would like to talk to potential cofounders first.

Not/non tech doesn't mean devoid of technical knowledge. With other people I have already built something using one of technical methods that might be used in new app. None of the technology is 100% unique and has been used in other apps. But the creators of those other apps focused on the tech instead of using it to create a useful experience that isn't already available.
Hi everyone, I'm Hani and I'm building Artspark.io, an AI art generator with instant search capability.
I'm a software engineer working in/on startups for 10 years. I'm currently working on taking Artspark to the next level and applying generative AI art to fashion, e-commerce and community.
I'm looking for someone excited about generative AI who is "T-shaped", a generalist who is also expert in some field of engineering/design/marketing.
Looking for a technical co-founder. I'm in the early stages of building Styrate.co, Styrate is a social platform that uses AI to provide personalized and trustworthy product reviews. Users can follow reviewers, watch video reviews, and share lists of reviews. Think of us as a social @wirecutter powered by AI. I'm looking for someone who can help me build this out, I already built out an early MVP (Styrate.co)
I am loking for a part time business person/CEO. I am a tech guy. Have 15+ years experience building backend systems. Now, I build user facing websites/services and release them. I have no knowledge of marketing/sales, so if you are a non tech guy who wants to do some fun projects, hit me up. Email in profile.
Currently, I am working on a website where people can post their code and ask for feedback. (Something http://pullrequest.com/)
Note that these are mostly side projects. Unless you are very good, they will be side projects for now :)
I have a small booking platform for surfing schools. Not limited to surfing but I decided to tackle this niche first.
Being used right now by one surfing school, perhaps more soon.
Website at nowtical.com.
Hit me if you like this space and have some design/business/sales skills. Email is pedro@grok.pt
russ@fastmail.com
Thanks!
I'm a co-founder of gethigher.io, we provably increase the signal to noise ratio for open market recruiting at a lower cost point than agencies. We put this down at the end of covid due to spending too much of our own money with not enough results and now I'm picking it back up. I'm spending 2 days a week on it technically to get it ready to niche in the crypto space (having just had a successful role and candidate feedback), I'm not a sales person and have a proven record of it. However I am a 10+ year developer.
Let's chat - adrian@gethigher.io.
Thanks
