I've been working on a b2b SaaS side project in the computerized maintenance management space for the past ~4 years ( https://salientforms.com https://salientforms.com ). Revenue is great for a side project, however I'd like to build the feature set out to appeal to more clients, and generally do business development. My background is compsci/software/hardware engineering, as well as the practical and physical side of how this sort of product works (urban systems, transportation, construction, maintenance). I'm looking for biz dev, growth, and interesting product ideas. My ideal co-founder would be someone who's worked in or has connections to the world of transportation, is motivated to find clients and grow a business, and is reasonably good at hacking and coming up with prototype ideas. I'm in Toronto. Location doesn't really matter, but the product has a slight skew toward winter right now so a Canadian who knows would be ideal. Reach out via the site link above or via github.

That's a really interesting - if unfashionable - vertical. What size companies are you targeting? (In a previous life -- um, 24 years ago -- I built a prototype for an Australian mining company using a Microsoft Access-based master database to coordinate safety inspections with a primitive pen-based handheld computer. At the time it was leading edge... even got invited to presenting tutorials on it at the NOSH 1997 conference in South Africa.)

  You've got to be unfashionable to attract unfashionable ;) I've been working with large corporations and governmental bodies in transportation, and integrating with their own internal tooling. Upgrade cycles are so slow for large governmental bodies that I wouldn't be surprised if there was appeal for a Windows CE 3.0 version...
