Ask HN: founder dating website
Anyone knows of a website that connects people with ideas and necessary experiences (dev, design, marketing) to start companies together? Sort of like a founder dating website.
- JarekS 17y agoI'm actually looking for the same thing :) It's such a great idea for a startup btw - at the moment we have "job search" like co-founder directories/searches. What we need is "dating site" like services. Co-founder is like a husband/wife isn't he?
- liquimoon 17y agoThat's a great point. The relationship matters, and there is compatibility issues involved.
- puredemo 17y agoPartnership site, not a dating site. ;)
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoLots of those around. A better question would be "How do potential cofounders date?" ie, how do you do small things to try to figure out if you're going to be good working together? Solve that one and you're on to something big.
- aren 17y agoThis exists, name and all! Though it's more of a real-life networking event than a website right now, it's still great and they pull some amazing entrepreneurs. I know, I've been to some of the events. Check out founderdating.com and sign up for an event near you.
- adora 17y agoclickable link: http://founderdating.com/ http://founderdating.com/ I've heard mixed reviews but skewed on the more positive side, so definitely worth checking out.
- alexwyser 17y agoI was thinking the exact same thing. I made a post here before I saw this. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1270235 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1270235 I personally feel that this would be perfect, since it would allow some very talented people come together to build something great. BTW, if any of you are about to start a startup and need a good designer to design your website or app interface for equity, let me know, I'd be happy to help you guys out.
- orrinxu 17y agohey i'm about to do this, would be happy to chat about it sometime
