Wanna team-up with an SRE to build a product and/or company?
Hey, dear hackers,
Firstly, this is my first submission, and anxiety is off the roof.
But, apart from that, I'd like to express my desire and passion to create a product, ideally with another technical co-founder.
I can't even be sure if I'd be criticized for asking it in this community, but, to be fair, I have already tried startupschool dot org for a few months, and I didn't find much luck.
A bit background about myself: I am a Sr. Site Reliability Engineer with 6+ years of production expertise, having hands-on experience in containerization and Kubernetes, GitOps, and especially FluxCD, different CI/CD vendors but specifically and recently GitHub Actions.
I regularly blog(ed) at developer-friendly dot com (prior to that, meysam dot io). I love what I do, and I am good at what I do. Now, I am confident that I can use all this gathered knowledge and channel it towards building a startup with another like-minded and passionate individual.
For your reference, here are the links to my profiles:
* linkedin dot com / in / meysamazad
* github dot com / meysam81
I track ideas in Reddit & LinkedIn and I try to get inspired by other successful entrepreneurs, but honestly, I have no clue what is what! That is the main reason I am asking for a peer to join me building something together, maybe something in the following lines, though I am absolutely open to any possible other venture:
* Developer tools to increase productivity
* Observability tool to focus on cost saving and low overhead
* a SaaS of some sort that can deliver value to B2B and/or B2C
Please comment below to show your interest, or refer a friend you think might be interested.
I appreciate any and all helpful comments in advance.
- technological 3y agoI am very much interested. Can we have a quick meeting?
- mso96 3y agoWe are building AI first observability copilot as a startup; check out @infrastackai and @msefaoruc on Twitter. We would like to meet other people who are interested in observability. we are looking for new teammates
- fuzztester 3y agoSome years back there was a site called techcofounders.com, by a Korean guy in the US. I had signed up for it. I got quite a few invites to be a cofounder, but none of them worked out, either because I wasn't interested, or the other the guy wasn't, after we talked a bit about their plans and my skills, i.e. there wasn't a match, on either of those dimensions. But I thought the idea of the site was a good one, with potential.
- mooreds 3y agoHighly recommend reading all the stuff Amy Hoy has. https://stackingthebricks.com/video-sales-safari-in-action/ https://stackingthebricks.com/video-sales-safari-in-action/ Is a good place to start. You want to find people who need something, then build it. Not the other way around. As far as finding a co-founder, I'd reach out to people you worked with and enjoyed. Don't forget it is like getting married without the sex, so not something to enter into casually.
- riffraff 3y agoThis makes me think: maybe a neat little project would be "tinder for founders" :)
- mettamage 3y agoAs someone who has extensive experience in dating IRL and Tinder, be careful with that analogy. Problem in romance: rejection Proposed solution: Tinder allows you to swipe so no rejection is felt because no one rejects you in your face. The current reality: most men get very few matches. When they do get a match, it converts to a date at a 10% rate at best. I think a similar unintended thing will happen with Tinder co-founders.
