Looking for long term partner(s)for exciting startup projects!

so u need a full stack

Hi Ekin,

Good luck with your pursuit. I hope you find the right co-founder. In my experience, with a full time job, it will be tricky.

Finding the right balance of input from a co-founder that matches yours so that you both bring in compatible skills, time, and effort will be key.

Things like that are as important as the motivation and drive to build great things and will impact how fast /how far you go!

Best of luck!

Hey Ekin, your post stood out. I work with Stellar Flux, a dev + consultancy team that partners with founders on startup builds. We’ve helped turn MVPs into products (AI tools, SaaS platforms, etc.) and could be a good complement to your skills. Would be happy to chat and explore collaboration.

Great initiative, Ekin ! Love your entrepreneurial mindset and the fact that you’re open to collaborating globally. I’m also building in the startup/SaaS space and always exploring partnerships with like-minded problem solvers. Let’s connect and see if our skills and ideas align potential synergies might be closer than we think!

Hi Ekin, I am based in Canada, but open to entrepreneurial global opportunities. I am currently working on 3 projects simultaneously and would be open to discussing how we can collaborate on these projects.

Hey I was looking to find someone to collaborate on something creative. I’m exploring some VR and AI project ideas. Let's connect and brainstorm something up. I have the entrepreneurial spirit. How can we chat in real time? Chris

👋 Hi, I’m building AfriXPay, a cross-border payments and subscription platform for Africa → Global commerce.

Problem: African creators/freelancers struggle to receive international payments and FX conversions.
Solution: AfriXPay makes it simple to accept local NGN → convert seamlessly → settle merchants in USD (or other currencies).

✅ I already have a vision deck, system flow diagrams, and MVP outline.
💡 Now I’m seeking technical cofounder(s) (backend, payments integration, or full-stack) excited about fintech and emerging markets.
This is equity-based (for now) with a big vision: Africa-to-World payments infrastructure.

If this sounds interesting, let’s connect

Hi Ekin,

I came across your message and it really resonated with me! I’m also passionate about startups and exploring new ideas, and I’d love to connect and see if we could collaborate on building something exciting together.

A bit about me: I’m 28 years old, based in Brazil, and I work as a Marketing Director. My family owns a network of supermarkets, which has given me experience in business strategy, operations, and scaling ventures. I’m always on the lookout for innovative projects and like-minded partners who are eager to turn ideas into reality.

If you’re open to it, I’d love to set up a time to chat, share ideas, and explore potential synergies. You can reach me here or via [your email or preferred contact method].

Looking forward to connecting!

Best regards,

Hello, I did email you and feel free to read it. Thank you

Great to see someone putting themselves out there to connect with the right people, that kind of initiative is what often sparks the best collaborations. Hope you meet a partner who shares both your technical edge and entrepreneurial spirit. I’m also looking for a co-founder to break out of the 9–5 cycle, so I really relate to your post.

All the best, mate!

Hi Ekin,

Your post really resonated with me—I’m also passionate about startups and building impactful products. I’m a Software Engineer with experience in backend (Golang, Node.js), frontend (React.js, React Native), and cloud technologies (AWS, MongoDB, SQL). I’ve worked on scalable microservices, API integrations, and full-stack projects, and I’m always excited about collaborating on new ideas.

I’d love to connect and explore potential ways we could work together on startup ventures.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,

Love the energy here 👏 It’s great to see people openly looking for co-founders and partners with a strong entrepreneurial spirit.
Wishing you good luck finding the right match — collaborations like this often lead to amazing projects 🚀

I’m currently exploring the path of becoming an indie developer. My background is mainly in product and design, and while I’ve also done some frontend, my biggest challenge right now is learning how to promote products effectively.

If you’re looking for someone to support on product and design or just want to exchange thoughts, feel free to reach out — happy to connect!

Wishing you the very best in finding passionate and like-minded partners for your startup journey! Excited to see your ideas turn into reality.

Hey@Ekin Koseoglu,

This is a classic bottleneck for experienced builders. You have the full-stack skills and a pipeline of good ideas, but you're fundamentally limited by the number of hours in the day. It's a frustrating place to be when your vision moves faster than your hands can type.

Finding great partners to fill the skill gaps (marketing, design) is a solid and necessary path. But to solve your core problem of development speed and limitations, there's another angle to consider: building a system that multiplies your own output.

I've been exploring a new model where the senior developer's role shifts from being the 'sole builder' to being the 'Chief Architect' of an AI development crew.

You, with your 10 years of experience, are the one who designs the system architecture, chooses the right tech stack, and defines the core logic. But the tedious, time-consuming work of writing the code for different components (the front-end UI from a Figma design, the backend boilerplate, the database schemas) is delegated to a team of specialized AI agents that you manage and orchestrate.

This approach allows you to have the output of a small dev team while staying a solo founder. It directly solves your 'speed' and 'limitation' problem. You could potentially build MVPs for several of your ideas in parallel because you're not writing every single line of code yourself; you're directing an AI workforce that does.

When you have that kind of execution engine, the human partners you bring on can focus entirely on their area of genius. It's a powerful combination.

It's a fascinating shift. The '10x developer' of the future might be the one who can best orchestrate AI to execute their vision. Something to think about as you look for ways to scale your output. Good luck!

wishing you a dream-team match soon..

Do you know where to get ideas for starting a business?

Great job

Great but why do people talk aboutmore innovation and startup while staying in india we didn't heard from those

Im in the same boat looking for a cofounder, AI can only get me so far in the MVP😭

it's so good to see that you're doing so

Great initiative! 🚀 Instead of limiting yourself to finding a co-founder or partner, you might also consider working with individual developers or a dedicated team based on your specific needs—whether frontend, backend, or full-stack expertise.
