Startup with good revenue looking for tech lead/product builder/potential co-founder

Hi there,

I know someone who would certainly be able to help you out with this, his name is Cosmin Rusu:

• Fullstack software engineer
• Experience at Google, Apple, and Amazon
• Work with a group of friends and former colleagues (all of them are devs)
• Has worked with other US and EU-based companies
  • 2 of the biggest would be Spotify and Colgate
  • But he usually collaborates with small companies and entrepreneurs

You can email him on Gmail (I'm not allowed to post links here yet):

• cosmin(.)cr(.)rusu

Hi,

• I work for one of the companies with Billion MAU
• have experience in building products 0-1 many times
• full stack
• 3 failed products which was potentially missing a sales person like you.
• based out of Toronto , on so we are in the same time zone

More details here https://123x.dev

Connect to me on LinkedIn if you want to talk further .

Hey there, really liked your message, really sparked something, would be great to chat more. Even if it's not co-founding, there could be collaboration, or hey, just sharing?

What I liked? I think a message from someone who can sell, explaining to people who love to build (not just code, but value) that they need someone who loves to build will appeal to many of us :-)

Ok, about me:

• Been coding for over 20 years, fullstack (currently CTO), mainly web based apps, platforms, but have built native apps too. Fullstack, from DB optimization all the way to UX/UI thinking on the frontend.

• Went through the journey of full stack snr engineer to pivoting to becoming a startup engineer... which is basically an engineer that;s much closer to the biz, the customers, and wears a product hat.

• Started my startup journey around 2011 when I saw a talk by Eric Ries! Left my snr dev job building a netflix style platform for a malaysian tv company to join an accelerator in Sydney Australia. Founded a legal platform from scratch, and went through getting that FIRST paying customer.. what a thrill.

• Left sydney, and did a bunch of early stage startup consulting, building MVPs, rescuing projects, helping non technical founder deal with their offshore tech teams etc etc.

• Tried to compete with bigger players in the Saas metrics space with my own little startup, part time, got a few customers but failed, exited for about $20k.

• Built an MVP in 2016 for a couple of sales guys, and am now the CTO of that company, scaling if from nothing to something which honeslty still resembles a startup, but with way more revenue.

However, although I was employee 1, it's not my business. At the time I decided to take contract markets rates and small equity, so still have an itch for something where I have more ownership.

What else? Took up skate boarding in my 40s (I'm 42 now), wrangling two insane boys, love yoga, coffee and photography. I've never been to NY! Would love to visit :-)

Originally from Brazil, lived mostly in the UK, no in the south of Spain.

Hey literally coming to IH first time after watching some designjoy interviews. I'm not necessarily looking to partner as I'm optimizing for my own cash flows but as a fellow builder and founder I think something you should def consider is going the nocode route.

I run the leading web3 dev agency on bubble and now have proprietary software focused on that niche. I've also ramped up on nocode in two years to the point that I've built both my landing page and a completely functional web3 marketplace in nocode. Feel free to check it out one2all.io.

Confidentially your post was top of the list and I think for anyone looking to build and build fast, nocode will be 10x faster than regular code (I know I've lived that as a Fintech product mgr for 10 yrs prior to launching one2all fulltime). It also gives you and your founding team One Hundred Percent transparency into your software. Which should not be overlooked and in my opinion far far outweighs any potential lockin risk if you choose the right platform.

In any case happy to chat even to just brainstorm as a fellow builder as there is one thing I know as well, I suck at marketing and could learn a thing (or five)!

You got me at "If you can build, I can sell."

What have you sold so far? And do you have any ideas in mind for the next project?

About me: I am a senior software developer, in the trenches for more than two decades now. I have worked with startups, and organizations, across the world. I am hands on myself and can also assemble a team at short notice. Feel free to ping me if you have specific questions.

Hey, feel free to drop a line to alex[at]pdocf.com for more information.

What is the 'managed marketplace' about? As in what is the product or service?

Hi i'd love to chat. I like moving fast, and I can build full stack stuff. Most notable thing I ever built was Purebet (would link it but I'm not allowed to post links yet). I'm still in college so money won't be as much of a concern for me as it might be for other people here. Discord: usernameusername#8020

Hey there! I just read your post and it seems like a good fit. I built two SaaS app, have a professional work background in software engineering / software quality, a scientific background in machine learning and a CS Master's degree.
I can get shit done quickly, have broad experience as a full-stack dev (front-end, back-end, infra and everything that brings a new product from beginning to end).

If you're interested, check out my SaaS apps at https://excelly-ai.io/ and https://podcut.io/. You can reach me at [email protected]

Hey!

For most people here at IndiaHackers, selling is hard so a lot of them will be willing to partner up with you. As for myself, I've been in the industry for 13+ years now. I'm not a full stack developer myself but I'm building a micro-SaaS with the help of a team. I'm more of a Product guy for this team but I know selling is not gonna come naturally to come. So if you think you'd be interested in learning more about the product and atleast taking this discussion forward, message me at hello@getkudos. io

Hey, I'm Scott, also in NYC!

I'm a full-stack developer currently working in the AI space. I mostly have experience in the javascript ecosystem, but in the last 6 months, I've gotten more and more into Python. I'm also very experienced in building startups, working on product, and talking to customers.

I'm actively looking to work on my own startup again and partnering up with a really good sales/marketing person.

Please DM on Twitter (scotty529)

Best,
Scott

Hi, I have 15 years building SaaS platforms, including marketplaces, as well as B2B offerings. In fact I prefer B2B where possible. If there is synergy I can generally accelerate launch - we are talking a few months - and not of an MVP but fully functioning end product. And available over web and mobile (progressive web app).

My strength is that I can contribute to overall business strategy - I have helped startups with their Product / MVP / GTM strategy - but ultimately am a CTO/CPO /Full stack dev all in one. ian . whiteley @ ymail

I get stuff done and can be flexible about the arrangement. I've got lots of experience as a tech lead and senior engineer. [email protected]

Hey @StartupSales, based on your post you seem to know how to sell a project and yourself, and that's what I'm looking for in a partner.

About me, I have been working in tech for the past 15 years, of which the last 7 years I have been building custom software, including coding frontends and backends, and consulting CEOs/Founders on product management as a freelancer. I have seen many different environments and requirements, to be able to choose the right approach for the right stage of the business.
I also build my own SaaS B2B product and see our interests here aligned. Additionally, I have built a lot of side projects using Nocode to move fast and iterate on ideas and see what works with a focussing only on the customer needs. So getting something from 0 to 1 is what I love.

Currently, Im looking for a partner who really knows how to sell a product. Does not need to be a fancy project, as long as it's genuine and useful to a business, and will generate cash flow: I can build it, if I know you will sell it.

Reach out to me here: [email protected]

This sounds very impressive. One question - isn’t the toughest thing getting a marketplace going at all? My instinct (but has no insight if course) would be to iterate and improve that.

I’m a developer but always glanced at the entrepreneurial with some envy. I build stuff, perhaps not the fastest but I build robust and so others can pick up.

Based in Northern Europe.

As a seasoned software engineer, I possess expertise in diverse domains, enabling me to develop high-performance systems efficiently. Whether you require rapid solutions or intricate projects, I am well-equipped to handle them with proficiency.

If you are interested in collaborating, feel free to let me know, and I'd be delighted to share my contact details for further communication.

Best regards,

I'm Shyamin from Sri Lanka and I'm successfully running a Twilio kind of service that focus on Sri Lankan audience. I think I'm really good at building things with new technologies while focusing on cost factor, but I lack the experience in sales. So, I think it'll be a great combo if we can team up.

Let me know if you are interest to have a chat :-)

I am a web/mobile app developer from Toronto, who build and launched several SaaS product in the past.
I currently have some free time on my hand, that I am happy to spend on building your application.
The last app I build was a food-delivery web/mobile app. This application handled 80,000 products sourced from 500 different vendors, processing 10,000 orders per day and managing 50 live chats. All of this was achieved on a single server, which cost only $5 per month, before being acquired by one of the food delivery giant.
Write me an email if you want to talk.

Really enjoyed your post!
This is Bryan who successfully launched top famous ecommerce platform which made the revenue 74M last years and would love to join this great project!

Been working as a full-stack, lead engineer for 8 years in several companies like mazda.

Would love to connect!!

Best Regards.
