Re:Ask HN: Why is it so difficult to find a co-founder? on Wednesday March 10, 2021 @11:48AM (#26413216)
Not sure about how many, but it can be as small as one or as big as 5 and up. I can build complicated software, websites, and I am well acquainted with design conepts. Find a co-founder who can fill in my weaknesses is perhaps what I'm looking for. And more importantly, we need have the same vision and passion for the startup. That is difficult because its hard to convince someone that your idea is worth the commitment. So my question is, how do people usually find that right co-founder/co-founders who can believe in your vision?

The primary concern would be finding co-founders. Because as you said you can hire experienced professionals, but finding that initial fouding members is a bit more difficult, I think. I was just wondering what methods have other people used in order to find that partner/partners.

I dont have a problem with sharing equity and of course people should be paid what they are worth. I was just more interested in how people usually find their co-founders.

Ask HN: Why is it so difficult to find a co-founder?

To tell you a little bit something about myself, I've joined a fair amount of startups, worked professionally as an engineer in bigger companies., have had my own startup, but ended up leaving due to internal problems. And still, the question that I find myself asking, how do I find the right co-founders? In your personal experience, what are the methods that you use in order to find your...

Re:Ask HN: What is the best way for a startup to market locally? on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @06:54PM (#24498981)
As I was filling out your questionaire, I was able to generate a few ideas on some potential marketing ideas, so thanks!

Ask HN: What is the best way for a startup to market locally?

For our startup we primarily do Social Media Marketing. So far results have been lackluster, in terms of SEO our website is not the greatest because it was made with time efficieny in mind therefore we chose to forego proper SEO for a earlier reelase date. With that said, what are some of the best ways we can get the attention of the local people in our area while being cost efficient?

Unfortunately, the google play page is only available to closed alpha participants only for now, and the apple store page is still being set up, as soon as the pages are made available to the public, the buttons will be working buttons.
Thank you for the feedback! You are absolutely right, the majority of the feedback I get with this landing page is that there is no description as to what it is designed to do, and I will have that fixed in no time, thank you.

Ask HN: Website that catalogues portfolios? Pursue or drop it?

So I've always wondered why there wasn't a site where I can just easily search up someone's portfolio or upload my own. That's why I decided to build it myself. The problem is I'm not entirely sure if it's worth investing my time in, so I wanted to ask you my friends! Is the idead a bust or should I go for it?For those that are curious the little website I build is portlogue.com...
