Anyone here? 🔇

I used to get an email every other day with new posts in this group, what happened? Is no one looking for co-founders anymore, finding them elsewhere, left the channel?

I'm a designer/product manager who's dangerous enough with code to get an MVP built (as long as it's in Redwood JS 🙂) I'm looking to partner up with a talented dev to build something people want & are willing to pay for.

I've built an app (www.strive.pm) but am struggling to find product market fit. I made the classic mistake of thinking I needed a novel idea and am now paying the price with lack of users.

I'd like to explore a proven market and make something of high quality that stands out from the incumbents, either because it does fewer things better for cheaper and/or it serves a specific niche. It could be as simple as picking something from www.softwareideas.io and running with it.

    I think proven business model is better (I build an MVP in one) but you will find out that the marketing/sales is way more important than actually having a strong (or even working) product when you are doing something in the proven markets.

      Good point and to be fair I do receive positive feedback on my product, the challenge is:

      1. Ensuring enough people know about it (Marketing)
      2. Its solving a valuable enough problem (Vitamin vs. Painkiller)

      I snooped around your profile, is remos.io your product, how's it all going?

        good from a technical side of things and very bad from the marketing one :)
