Looking for serious collaborators, not short-term interest
Until I created my new account, I had been posting a lot here promoting my technology and profit-focused systems.
Some people reached out seriously, and I responded the same way, with full sincerity. But often, what looked like collaboration turned out to be inconsistency or avoidance when the topic of value or payment came up.
I’ve been building for over half a year, working more than 10 hours a day, weekdays and weekends. I’m not a scammer or a pretender. I’ve customized documents, created decks, and showed genuine structure every single time.
Still, there are people who suddenly disappear, misunderstand, or even report accounts like mine because they think I’m “AI.” I’m not. I use AI as a tool, but everything I write and design comes from me a human creator trying to survive and build.
These actions don’t just hurt individuals, they harm the spirit of collaboration and learning that makes Indie Hackers strong.
So please, if you’re not serious, don’t reach out.
But if you’re genuinely interested in co-building, co-developing, or exploring async-based business systems, I’m open to talk and share value.
I’m still pushing forward despite financial struggles and real-life pressure. If my time here is short, I want to make sure I spend it working with the right people.
Let’s build something real, respectful, and valuable.
P.S.
I’m unsure how long I can stay active here, but as long as I’m here, I’ll keep creating and sharing with honesty.
"I completely feel this. There is a massive difference between people who like the idea of building and people who actually put in the hours to ship.
As a Software Architect, I operate the exact same way. I just spent months quietly building and launching a fully functional cognitive training and EdTech web platform. The engineering phase is 100% complete—it’s live, stable, built on a highly scalable Java/JSP architecture, and heavily optimized for virtually zero server overhead. No fluff, just finished code.
But because I’m a pure technical founder, my missing puzzle piece is distribution, B2B school partnerships, and medical referral networks (for our cognitive health branch, MemoryMagic).
I'm looking for a serious, milestone-based equity growth partner who actually treats building like a job, not a hobby. Since you focus heavily on business systems and async workflows, I'd love to connect and show you the admin dashboard and backend capabilities. No games, just real building. Let me know if you're open to a DM."
Hey Prakash, I sent you a request on Twitter/X. If you’re still open, let’s connect.
I’m an industrial engineer from Germany, currently working in software product management, with experience in strategy consulting, B2B sales and IT project management.
Happy to learn more about what you’re building.
Hi!
I’m a technical profile, and if you’re still looking for someone with real hands-on experience, I might be the person you’re looking for. I completely agree—this needs to be serious. Projects that are all “AI-vibe coded” often end up messy and difficult to maintain, and that’s not the kind of work I want to do.
I focus on building solid, maintainable systems, and I’d love to contribute to something real and valuable.
Thanks for sharing this, Rodrigo.
I agree with you a lot of “AI-vibe” projects fall apart because no one wants to own long-term structure or maintenance.
That’s exactly the kind of work I’m trying to avoid as well.
I’m not looking for hype or quick experiments.
I care much more about clear ownership, boundaries, and systems that don’t rot after the first iteration.
If you’re open, I’d be happy to exchange perspectives and see whether our approaches actually align.
It sounds like you're current method attracts a lot of window shoppers. Have you tried flipping the script? Instead of posting broadly and waiting for the right people, you build a list of your ideal partners and reach out to them directly. This puts you in control and pre-qualifies everyone from the start, so you only talk to serious people. A targeted cold email outreach could really help here. Happy to share some pointers on building that list :)
Thanks Colin, that’s a really good point.
I’ve been focusing mostly on inbound rhythm so far, but I can see how a structured outbound layer could bring more qualified people into the loop.
Would love to hear your pointers on how you usually build that kind of list :)
Yes, would love to, how can i contact you?
Awesome! You can message me on LinkedIn or email me at koni910901@gmail.com.
Really curious to see how you approach structured outreach and list building.
I really respect this — too often “collaboration” posts get a lot of noise without anyone actually committing to meaningful work together. The distinction you’re drawing between window shopping and real co-building is one I’ve seen too — it’s not just about skills, it’s about shared rhythm, expectations, and consistency.
One pattern I’ve found helpful when trying to make collaborations stick is shared early signals — small but measurable outcomes (like a short product sprint with a clear outcome) that let both parties see whether the pace and style align.
Curious — when you think about a first real step with a serious collaborator, what’s the kind of outcome or milestone you’d want to co-build together first?
Keeping the rhythm steady, with honesty and structure, that’s how real connection and growth begin.
