Anyone laid off want to start a company together?
I’m a senior SWE building mobile apps but I’m getting bored. Got some investor interest in a pitch I’ve been working on but no cofounder which is limiting my fundraising opportunities (and creative potential, it’s no fun to build alone). The project is in the consumer tech space, mobile app for consumers and a web experience for brands. If you’re in NYC and from a company with an ad-based business model (that you think is broken by SEO, influencers and a bad incentive structure), let’s chat. You don’t have to be an engineer, really looking for someone with strong product and design instincts! #startup #cofounder #layoffs #meta #google #amazon #yelp #foursquare #tripadvisor #newyork #nyc #brooklyn
I’m backend. Let’s pair up
I’m a PM looking to start something.
PM? Useless lol
OP literally said he was looking for someone with product and design skills. Just because you've worked with shitty PMs, doesn't mean all PMs are shitty. A good PM makes or breaks the company (irrespective of who plays that role - a well rounded engineer or designer can do it too).
I have an idea that’s approved by Microsoft startup for founders. I’m happy to join. PM here, Ex SWE
Lol? Been an SWE earlier. Sure do know what you do 🤣
What do you mean “an idea that’s approved by Microsoft startup for founders”, not sure I understand! Also don’t get the PM hate, I’m 100% open to my cofounder being a PM, especially with a SWE background :)
You can try cofounderapp.com and download the app from app store.... you will find all kinds of folks from google etc to start up with.
did you make this app? been seeing this come up the last two days in the Startups topic.
Sure, sounds interesting!
Dmed 😊
how do i short this company comprised entirely of the bottom 5% of performers
Lmao
not entirely, I’m still employed 😂
280k base and 1% equity or GTFO
Sounds like a paycut to me
I’m also a front end/mobile engineer. Lmk if you wanna connect and chat. Not based in NYC tho
Interested! DMing
