Ask HN: Selling software as a feature for another company's app

from the ask-hn dept.

I've been working on an app as a side project, and come to realize that while there isn't a compelling business case for the app itself, its functionality would be perfect for a different company's application.

Does anyone have any tips/know of resources on how to go about reaching out to the company to discuss a possible partnership?

Take what I say with a grain of salt because I have something built and am in a similar position but I think without some sort of user base you're going to be hard pressed to make a deal, but I'm hoping someone else comments that they've managed to do it successfully before

For sure --- this is exactly the spot I'm in. "Ah yes, this won't get users on it's own, but could be valuable with x, y and z..."
