Ask HN: Looking for co-founder in Toronto

1 points by tixocloud 10y ago

Looking for a tech co-founder who's interested in machine learning. I'm technical myself but I also studied business. Over the past year, I've spent exploring the need for solutions around location analysis and email marketing. Currently, I'm building a smarter, more automated CRM that will hopefully help people build better relationships. I've built in in AngularJS and Python at the moment. The reason why I started building this CRM is so I can stay on top of my personal and business relationships. However, I can also see there's use for this application in sales and business development, in which case, it'll be very similar to SalesforceIQ but we're going to put our own unique spin on it.

Does she has to be in Toronto? Or remote is an option? Also what kind of commitments are you looking for?

  Remote is fine too. I'm looking for someone who's committed enough to spend some evenings/weekends as we look for product/market fit. I'm happy if you have a day job so this isn't an all or nothing proposition. I would also like someone to exchange ideas with while keeping each other accountable. For context, family is important to me as well but I am crazy enough to think that building a business and having a family is possible.

Have you talked with anyone? do you have customers or trials customers?
- tixocloud 10y ago
  I don't have customers yet - mostly beta testers at this point. All have mentioned they wanted to see something before buying since it's a CRM-ish type of app. But some have said that there's a great need for it. I'd like to test that fact.
