Looking for a sales, biz dev or someone with domain experience

I’m a UX designer and developer. I’ve done a few startups in the past (one of which was acquired).

I’m looking for my next side project or business and want to partner with someone who has domain experience in a particular niche. I want someone who is willing to really understand the customer and learn about their problems.

I can provide design, development, user experience, funding, and execution. You provide the target customer, high-level solution and go-to market strategy.

Hit me up!

    Matthew - I have 15 years domain expertise, built a company in the industry and have validated and invalidated my assumptions. This niche business is in the blue collar space to connect equipment and automotive mechanics (technicians) with jobs via a job board. This may bring about thoughts of "hasn't this been done already with linkedin/Indeed", no it has not and this is such a big issue that Congress passed the Perkins V Act to help this industry. I have built a team before and currently have started building with a fullstack dev and a jr. dev with myself, would like the opportunity to share more with you in this "forgotten" niche.

      Hi JR,

      Ideally I’m looking to partner with just another person and not a team.

      Best of luck to your team!

    Hello Matthew,

    Thanks for posting.

    I think our skill sets could be very complimentary.

    I have the target customer, high-level solution and go-to market strategy for an industry I have had one successful exit.

    Please let me know if you are open to a phone call this week or next.

    Best Regards,

    Phil

    Hey Matthew. I would love to chat about several ideas I have that have all 3 of the qualities you are looking for. Let's talk asap. I'm new to IH so I am not totally familiar with the modes of communication.

      Thanks for the question Volkan. Mostly just sticking to friends of friends or people I meet in real life. But as I've lurked around the IH community, it really seems to have tons of people like myself (very practical, bootstrap-focused, resourceful). So I decided to actually make a post. I haven't posted anywhere else.
