Been running solo bootstrapped SAAS for 8+ years already and have seen moderate success (low 7 figures in ARR). Nothing worth gloating but I can build a few things and sell. I have employees but no true partner/co-founder who lives and breathe this stuff with me.
Have some fresh ideas for which I would love to team up. Technical/non-technical doesn't matter. You either build shit or are awesome at talking to customers. I do both as well. If this is you, hit me up. Will start with some side projects together to test compatibility first.
I am in East Coast (Southern NJ). 20 mins from Philadelphia and 1.5 hours from NYC, 3-4 hours from DC. For co-founders, I personally believe that we need to work together in person at least in the beginning. So that's a hard requirement for me.
Note: Experience with YC Founder matching has been terrible at least for me so far.
- altdataseller 3y agoLow 7 figures ARR is something less than 1% of startups can claim they reached. That’s more than a moderate success. That’s a huge success!
- codegeek 3y agoI hear you. It is no easy feat. I just have the hunger to build something much bigger and I m not just talking about money.
- akg_67 3y agoIf you want to do both build and talk to customers in early startup phase, reach out to me. Check out my profile and if interested reach out via email in profile, Sorry, don't use twitter so can't message you. Though my current location (Japan) timezone is 14 hours ahead of you, I have a good family base in NY-NJ area with another home base on US west coast and professional network on both coast. So spending few months in the area to work together is not a problem. I get contacted by too many "idea" people who are one developer or salesman away from making it big. I am not interested in such people. I am interested in teaming up with someone who is capable of doing whatever needed to move forward, someone who can also execute and roll up the sleeves to code when needed, outreach when needed, learn new things when needed, and not afraid to take on unknown. Excellent communication skills, and frequent and open communication are must.
- codegeek 3y agoSure. Happy to chat. Will reach out. Also added email to profile now
