Looking for a "co-solo-founder"

I'm not looking for a co-founder :)

But I'd love to connect with a fellow solo indie hacker who's serious about shipping. Hoping to find someone who's on the same page / working within the same constraints who'd be willing to just stay in touch and keep each other updated and accountable on each others progress.

It would be kind of like a "mastermind" but just 1-1 and much more low-key.

Who I am

10+ years of professional engineering experience (Full stack, nowadays focused on front-end). I am also a decent UI designer and generally cobble together some pretty good user experiences / flows.

I've ready too many business books / listened to too many business podcasts (including indie hackers). My favorite business books are: Company of One by Paul Jarvis, Drive by Daniel Pink and Traction by Gabriel Weinberg & Justin Mares.

I am the father of 2 young girls (2 and 5) and I work a pretty busy (but fulfilling) full time job at a software company that's going public this year.

I may or may not be a dogecoin millionaire (my old dead phone with the wallet on it is currently being looked at by some folks at DriveSavers).

I have a tendency to use too many parenthesis when I write and always have to edit them out later (although this time I won't bother).

What I'm working on.

I've (really) gotten into vermicomposting during the pandemic and have been chipping away at building a marketplace and (eventually) e-commerce platform for worms and worm related products since the beginning of 2021. I'm pretty close to launching an MVP (a few weeks away working at a slow but sustainable pace and making constant progress).

The ask

If you're into this idea of connecting and co-journey-ing, I'd love to hear from you. I think it'd be fun to pair up with another engineer but if that's not you then that's not a total deal breaker either!

Post a comment below with a little background about yourself and what you're working on (or just link to your indie hackers profile if you've already filled that out!). We could schedule an initial chat and decide if it's a good fit.

Looking forward to chat!
