ASK HN: I am looking for a co-founder
Hey HN. I am in a little conundrum. A few months ago I got offered an internship position with a company but just the other day I found out they are having difficulties getting the Visa in time (I am Canadian) so am looking for other options. I have a start up idea that I have been wanting to pursue for a little while so I thought I would see if I could find anyone to team up with before I search for another job.
I know usually a co-founder should be someone you know well and this way of finding one is not recommended but I have been meeting people in my city and have not found the person I would like to work with so why not try this.
Normally I build all my ideas myself but this is beyond what I can do alone.
So here is the gist of my plan:
- Hardware project. I have not done too much hardware. I do software and will be able to put together the backend for the project. But I will need someone that has experience creating hardware projects from scratch to compeleted product (If you also have experience with OpenCV, that is a plus).
- My plan is to create prototype than try Kickstarter to see if people would be interested/buy etc.
- I believe there is a market for this. Something similar was made in 2008 by Sony but was priced around $300. I would target young adults/adults/bars/weddings/ any type of gathering.
If interested we can talk in more detail. I would come to you if that was possible. Places like San Francisco excite me.
If you interested or just want to talk or have some advice please message me! I love meeting new people interested in similar things.
