> but instead would like to grow it (which is quite hard to do on my own) I don't know the details but a lot of, now very successful projects, have been grown by a single person, so you can definitely do it. Check out www.indiehackers.com for advice and inspiration. I have also not dealt with things like these, but one thing I strongly believe in: don't be afraid to let people know how you feel about things and how you see things. So I would probably say something like this: I do not wish to sell my project but I am looking for an opportunity to grow. Would you be willing to help me out with this? In turn, we can find a way to help you out with your goals as well to make this a win-win scenario.
