Looking for a co-founder with strong writing skills for an already profitable project

Hey,

a few months ago I was running the Product Ideas newsletter on Substack and noticed that there are many people with similar newsletters focused on trends and business ideas. So I thought, why don't we join forces? This way we could provide a lot more value to our readers and grow much faster.

I reached out to several people and this is how Opportunities.so got started. Unfortunately, the partners I originally started the project with exited the project since a side project they started is taking off and needs their full attention.

The project has seen some nice early growth and there are many ways to move things forward. But currently it's just me and there are too many balls to juggle. I always feel like something (marketing, content, backend code, etc.) is falling behind and this is why I'm looking for someone new to partner up with.

Currently Opportunities.so is just a newsletter. But my plan is to add tons of stuff in the next few weeks that goes far beyond that and provide a lot more value to subscribers. Happy to talk more about it on a call!

What I'm looking for in a co-founder

  • Passionate about helping entrepreneurs discover business ideas.
  • Strong writing skills. Here's a recent post that should give you an idea of the kind of content subscribers enjoy.
  • No technical skills needed. I'm happy to handle all technical aspects of the project.

So if that sounds like something you'd be interested in, please just leave a comment here or send me a DM on Twitter.

Quick overview

  • Product name: Opportunities.so
  • One-line description: Business opportunities and market research for entrepreneurs.
  • Market category: research-as-a-service for entrepreneurs
  • Competitive alternatives: http://trends.co, http://brainstorms.io, /r/business_ideas, http://kern.al, http://nugget.one, validated ideas
  • Unique attributes: access to datasets, bundle of a wide range of topics and formats, focus on $1k-10k/mo opportunities
  • Value: We enable customers to: discover ecosystems and business models they never thought of before, and give them what they need to carry out the research that's necessary to find realistic opportunities that are actually a good fit for them (product-founder-fit).
  • Who cares a lot: people like me, indie hackers, everyone pursuing a "small bets" strategy, solopreneurs, software developers, technical entrepreneurs, makers and creators. (We're not selling billion dollar dreams.)
  • How? Expert Interviews, trend brainstorms, and niche data analysis.

Best,
Jakob

    I'd love to chat about this!

    I've got a small substack newsletter I'm running already in a similar space. I've included a link to one of the posts below so you can see a rough style (although I wasn't maximising writing style - just aiming to get the post/data out). I've also acquired a few small apps on Shopify and other app stores/looking to find more opportunities.

    Would also love to chat about a current side project www.marketplaceapps.co if you are interested?
