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

Hey everyone đź‘‹

I'm a 27-year-old full-stack software engineer based in Ankara, currently working at an AI company. Alongside my full-time role, I’m deeply passionate about building startups, experimenting with ideas, and shipping fast.

🚀 Recently, I’ve committed to an ambitious journey:
Launching 10 startups within 1 year.

Inspired by the indie hacker mindset and the idea of “shipping over perfection”, I’m focusing on building, validating, and learning fast rather than chasing perfect products. (This approach is quite popular among indie makers, where building and launching multiple products increases the chances of success and learning through iteration. (Yongfook Blog))

🤝 I’m looking for partners / co-builders who:

  • 🌍 Are location independent (remote-first mindset)
  • 🤖 Have experience with AI tools & Vibe Coding
  • đź’ˇ Bring creative ideas and want to build together
  • đź§  Have strong technical skills (frontend / backend / full-stack)
  • 🚀 Have an entrepreneurial / indie hacker spirit
  • 🗣️ Can communicate and collaborate professionally

đź§© What I offer:

  • Strong full-stack + AI development background
  • Execution-focused mindset (I build & ship fast)
  • Multiple startup ideas ready to explore
  • Long-term collaboration mindset (not just a side project)

If you’re someone who wants to build, experiment, fail fast, and win together, let’s connect.

    Hi Ekin,

    I like your approach to shipping fast and building multiple startups. I’m a full-stack engineer working with React, TypeScript, Python (FastAPI), and AI integrations, and I enjoy building and iterating on MVPs quickly.
    I’d be interested in collaborating and seeing if any of your ideas are a fit to build together. Happy to connect.

    Best,Julie

    Hi Ekin, this is the kind of execution mindset most founders talk about but rarely commit to. 10 startups in 12 months is no joke 👏

    Shipping fast + validating with real users is where things get interesting, speed only works when it’s paired with real traction.

    I’m on the growth side (user acquisition, positioning, early traction), helping startups get their first users, not just traffic, so this kind of fast iteration model fits really well with how I work.

    If you’re building multiple products, having someone focused on distribution alongside can make a big difference.

    If you ever want a second perspective on go-to-market or getting initial traction (especially via Reddit), happy to connect.

    Open to a quick chat if you think that could be useful.
    Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds.

    Hey Ekin — 10 startups in 12 months is an ambitious goal. 👏

    I'm not a developer, but I focus on growth, distribution, and lead generation for B2B products.

    If you're building fast and need someone to help with go-to-market, positioning, or getting the first users — that's where I come in.

    Open to a quick chat to see if our skills complement each other?

    Either way, respect the 'ship over perfection' mindset

    This is a bold challenge, and honestly very aligned with the indie hacker spirit.

    One thing I’ve seen with builders who attempt multiple startups in a short time is that the real bottleneck isn’t ideas or speed, it’s repeatedly redesigning the same architecture decisions from scratch.

    After the second or third product, people realize they’re not building startups anymore, they’re rebuilding infrastructure.

    Curious; have you thought about creating a reusable “startup architecture” that lets you plug ideas into a system instead of re-engineering each time?

      Not sure how others are tackling this, but in my case what i ended up doing is to work on an agentic framework form my first project and whenever i get ready for another project I will revisit the first project an basically see which functionality can be shared and made into a common set of components.

      The other thing that I also saw recommended, and plan to stick to, is to pick one set of technologies and mostly stick with them.

      Something else about building products is that sometimes a failure is just a learning experience. I spent nearly 6 months on a project which heavily depends on a partner. Even though it was practically done it could not move forward because I could not get the business partner to do some of the things we needed (non technical). I took everything Iearned from that experience to work on a second project. In 2 weeks I has most of the basic functionality done and now doing testing / final fine tuning. All in all likely about a month

      The key to the speedup was that towards the end of the first project I kept asking myself how could I do things better so improving the process of building is part of every project now.
