This won't work. Who's hiring could attract a sufficient number of responses that makes selection viable, but this won't. Besides, unlike a work contract, co-founder responsibilities have no defined boundaries or obligations and it'll take a while to get a measure of someone's (including the poster's) commitment and interest.
- bbrree66 5y agoWhat won't work about it? This is a stupid comment.
- brainless 5y agoI have been seeking co-founder for a couple months, a bit actively. Passively, for about a year now. I think you underestimate how big a pain this is. HN is a great place for people in the concerned bucket to give a shout out.
- jeswin 5y agoI totally get how big a pain it is; I'm just saying you won't find them via these posts. Founders often over estimate how interesting their idea could be to potential co-founders; but people are more interested in working on their own ideas.
- DyslexicAtheist 5y agonot sure. I had many ideas in the past which I felt were the best thing since tabbed bread. but in the last 2-3 years I find myself a different head-space. I no longer need the validation for my own ego to have others work on "my idea". Instead I am passively keeping my eyes peeled for potential products that are run by people I have chemistry with, and where I can bring value, maybe even for free (initially). Great if it turns into more down the road. And some feeling tells me I probably am not the first person who reaches that point/conclusion in life. HN would be exactly the place for it considering angel sites are full of marketers and people with short attention spans, and/or perhaps worse.
- em-bee 5y agothe only sure way to make this fail is to not try it. the worst case is that noone here gets any response. with nothing to loose, why not try it. at a minimum it shows everyone who is posting here, how many other people are searching. and maybe some good comes from that too.
- whoisbuilding 5y agoWhy don't we let the people and the market decide?
- pentae 5y agoI think just let people make their own choices
- aww_dang 5y agoEither way it is interesting to see what people are building.
