Hey everyone.

Programmer/designer guy here who has due lack of motivation determined to give away an entire future company. (Although I will require a ~10% ownership of any legal entity you setup, but I'm willing to make that negotiable.)

I figure it'd be a nice thing to try, cause there's (in my mind) nothing wrong with the idea or the execution. I'd really like to see it fly!

But after 10 years of constant, excruciating grind – I have decided to make some life changes.

The app, called Trotter is for those on the move to 'Feel at home, wherever they are'.

The current state of things: The app was built from May 2017 - December 2017. Launched in iOS App Store December 2017.

It's currently hidden in App Store and all servers and services are switched off.

Here's a look at the app and it's features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuIycb4bLRk&feature=youtu.be

In terms of revenue model, Users can contact up to 10 new users per day. After that it costs $x for 10 more.

I would like to add though that I won't give it away to give it away to anyone but to the person or group I deem most suitable in terms of ability to grow and nurture it.

I will not be taking an operative role in any future operation. At all. I want to make that perfectly clear.

Any questions, Let me know! /Philip

Hey everyone.

Looking for technical co-founder(s) building thefoundership.com - A traction tool for startups.

Our beta product is done using an external firm, but I now want to move production in-house to cut costs and be able to move a lot faster.

Your location in the world doesn't matter as long as you are flexible and dedicated to the task.

Skills required: Ruby on rails, javascript, html5/css ("fullstack" frontend backend)

Best, Philip

Hey guys.

A few years ago, I believe it was 2009 or 2010, there was a Search Engine startup that got pretty hyped in several tech outlets. All I remember from it was from an interview where one of the founders said something like: "There's the public data that you can find through Google, and then there's your data that google can't find".

It was basically a search engine for locating your files, (personal or work) across multiple cloud services such as facebook, gmail, hotmail or whatever.

What was the name of it?

Thanks!

How do you guys like the idea of Startups sharing their product/marketing/ and business data with other startups, in order to incubate each other's early quest for growth? In other words, the data covering the areas every startup must master in order to generate long-term growth.

What would be a good way to build an Online Incubator enabling startups to be incubated Remotely?

Hey eveyrone.

About 1½ years ago, I created 1000designers.com as a little side project, a marketplace for the best designers in the world - And while it went rather ok actually, I am now in pursuit of another venture. However, I think that it's kind of stupid just to abandon 1000designers as we generated quite a lot of revenue and press coverage - Such as in TechCrunch.

The technology behind the app isn't very sophisticated, however - I have a V2. built with rails purely that has incorporated a new revenue model that I know is more effective than the one I used and I generated around $150k in revenue during one year.

So - Any channels where you could potentially sell it?

Are there any Founders here, who likes the idea of sharing their product/marketing and business data with other founders - to create an alliance with other Startups and incubate each other in our early growth phase?

We all share the same objectives, and that is to build products that people love. We all beg steal and borrow from each other anyways - So why not just spare us the grind of doing the same mistakes over and over again and build a data sharing industry connecting all the valleys around the world!

A bit of background information on this project:

I previously worked as a product developer/designer within one of Scandinavia's largest Media companies separately owning over 40 of Scandinavia's most popular websites and apps. During the process of redesigning one of the platforms, we had an argument about how our conversion funnels were to be laid out.

But instead of having a pity argument, we came up with the idea of asking the other 40 companies for their data related to their conversion funnels (since everyone was operating within the same (almost) product segment but under different management and co-ownership) And everyone agreed and thought it was a great idea and we got top-level management on our side with doing this since all the 40 companies were encourage to cooperate with each other anyways!

Much said and done, it became an analytic and bureaucratic nightmare, trying to gather and compile data from 40 different sources, all spread out across Europe, everyone measuring the different sets of metrics, in different analytic tools, so we eventually abandoned the idea.

But I just could not let go of the idea of data-sharing, especially for Startups - And as a longtime fan of Formula One, and know how important "instructive product development" has been for Formula One Teams.

I have shared a few thoughts on data sharing here on HN, so if you want to read more, just have a look at my previous posts.

Cheers!

Hey Guys.

We have chosen to make our Telemetry-Feed public, showing our marketing, product and business related data.

We have chosen to do this is simply so that others can see what user-acquisition methods are effective when having just launched, are bootstrapping and growthhacking.

Learn from it! (if there's anything to learn, we don't know just yet as we have just started)

To see our data:

Simply go to telemetryalliance.com and click on "Our Telemetry" at the bottom of the page.

PLEASE NOTE:

Our sign ups are currently not showing any sign ups at all, simply because we haven't started letting users in just yet, and we haven't set up tracking for Beta Sign ups. I'll make sure to fix this during the day.
