As per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6341565, here's a thread for co-founder pitches.
"[Your pitch] should include what type of roles you can do as a founder, which roles your future co-founder should fulfill, and your location. Also a general description of your idea, what you've built so far, and your technology stack."
I myself am looking for a good partner to work with, but am a bit hesitant about looking outside my immediate circle of friends and acquaintances for partners. How does one get over the initial hump of building rapport/trust?
Assuming this role-call is for the upcoming YC batch, have there ever been any teams that were accepted who were introduced this way?
Communicate and document (in writing) your expectations clearly. You should also ask the other person for their expectations, and listen carefully. This is marriage, not dating, so you really should be clear about what you're looking for in a long term partner.
Define roles and responsibilities, expectations, growth goals, work styles, etc.
Obviously there are details which need to be ironed out.
Technology: RoR
Currently we are two guys, one purely technical and one purely business.
We have a MVP out. Checkout at http://hmpgr.com, Invite Code: HN
We are looking for 1 or 2 co-founders (mostly tech and partly business).
Current location: India (but we do not want to feel restricted by location)
Comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Finding and evaluating marketing apps is getting harder because there's simply far more out there. Likewise for the same reason, it's getting harder for vendors to market their apps.
Co-founder should be interested in marketing and community building.
