Story of my startup

Hello Indie Hackers,

I want to share my startup journey.

First, I am a graduate student at the University of Utah studying neuroscience. This spring is my last semester, and I am writing my thesis for the graduation requirement. I am also part of a startup and came up with the idea. I have four developers (two senior levels and two junior levels) so far, and they are building a website. We will upload the landing page within a week.

The funniest thing is I have ZERO knowledge of web development. That is why I was trying to find someone who could help me. As I mentioned, the two senior-level developers just got new jobs and cannot do actual coding now. The two junior-level developers are a student living in Zimbabwe, Africa. I love to work with them because they are so passionate and desperate to have an excellent experience with this project.

I met many developers who wanted to help me for free, but they quit their position within two weeks at most. It has been almost two years since I tried to start a startup with this idea. I want to say to people trying to start their startup that someone wants to help you. They are invisible because you want to find the best developer you have ever met. Just find a guy who can help you with a simple thing first, such as advice about your startup or a person who can do brainstorming with you.

I will keep posting since we build a landing page.

For someone who is struggling, do not quit. You will find a team, but the process is brutal and harsh. But eventually, pretty sure you will recruit a nice team.

Thank you for reading my first post!
