Founders will give up 50% revenue to anyone who can bring them users
So I was trying to grow my SaaS starting from zero users.
No marketing experience and no audience. Nothing :(
At some point I just thought that I would literally give someone half my revenue if they got me users. Like, genuinely. Half.
I also talked to other indie hackers and felt same feeling everywhere.
Founders are sitting on real products, willing to split serious money, and just... have nobody to partner with.
So I built something about it.
It's called FindMyCrew. We connect founders with people who know how to grow things. They can be marketers, creators, anyone who's done distribution before, or even starting out.
Pure revenue share. Up to 50%. No retainer, no flat fee.
Founder plugs in their payment gateway dashboard so the MRR is visible to both sides. No trust issues.
If you know how to get users — SEO, content, communities, an audience, paid, whatever — there are founders ready to split real revenue with you right now.
Curious what you think. Especially if you're on the growth side, then what would make you actually try this?
This is real, but I’d make the first deal a tiny proof sprint before rev share. For a consumer app like MetricSync, I’d want someone to prove one repeatable wedge first: 20 creator DMs, 5 short demo posts, or one SEO page that gets qualified clicks. Then revenue share makes sense because both sides know the channel can actually move users.
That's actually how I designed the proposal system, the marketer sets the duration, so nothing stops someone from proposing a 2-week sprint before a longer deal. The idea of a structured proof period before full rev share is interesting though. Might be worth making that more explicit in the flow. What would make you feel confident enough to commit to a full partnership after a sprint like that?
I like this a lot. Real problem, and your site is strong. It would be helpful if you'd be transparent about your business model. "Forever. We take 0% of splits." sounds great but it triggers a "what's the catch?" instinct, with no resolution. It feels like too much risk to sign up if something disagreeable waits on the othe side. Love the idea though—extremely common problem and great solution idea. The other trust issue - as a potential user on the builder side - I need to see screens to get a sense of what I'm in for.
revenue share is definately a great concept but teh hardest part is always attribution and product market fit. a lot of founders think their product is ready for growth when in reality it isnt converting yet, so any marketing effort is just wasted. as a growth person you dont want to spend weeks building campaigns only to realize the product itself is leaky. having a shared dashboard definitely helps build trust early on though.
You're right, and PMF risk is real and most platforms do not fix that. But that's kind of why the model is flexible by design. Marketers aren't locked in. You can sign a 1-week agreement to test the waters, and if the product isn't converting, you can terminate early. So the downside is capped, worst case you lose a week and maybe learn from it to choose better product next time. The rev share model also means you're not burning cash on a product that isn't working. If it doesn't grow, nobody gets paid, and you walk. Would a short trial period actually change how you'd evaluate a partnership, or is PMF something you'd want to verify before signing anything at all?
