Tech Co-Founder Looking for Small/Lifestyle-Biz Partner

Hello!

I'm a senior full-stack developer (25 years of experience, have done basically every company size from one of the first hire in a startup to big banks and government departments), working remotely as a freelancer since 2014. I've launched various personal side-projects throughout the years, including my own indie company a few years ago. You can learn more about me on my personal website. I can build, maintain, scale and operate pretty much anything in a web stack.

However, I'm not good at marketing/growth/leads. I love building stuff, and am aware of my shortcomings in that very important department, so I'd like to try something different for my next thing - I'd like to reach out and find a like-minded person that could complement me well, with whom I could have a good synergy.

Very much like that recent post in this group, I'm not interested in "conquering the world", building a huge company, hiring people and swimming in my gold coins, I'd consider something like $1K/mo a resounding success and anything above it a bonus. I have some ideas, and I'm absolutely open to hearing yours and figuring out together which one excites us the most/makes the most sense. Some semi-random things about how I see this, to accelerate potential matches:

• Zero interest in cryptocurrency- (or blockchain-) related things
• Nor in anything shady or walking an ambiguous line
• Web before mobile (if ever)
• Probably targeting businesses vs consumers? Not a hard rule, can be convinced otherwise, more of an inclination.
• Respect, kindness and ability to have fun while doing hard work and facing obstacles!
• Async, written communication > meeting (but let's still meet every now and then to share excitement, concerns, progress, and just generally get to know each other better!)
• "Small/lifestyle-biz" affects the idea too (not just the desired outcome): not interested in a huge "disrupt whatever" endeavour that requires super complex tech and takes years to build, we should aim for something that can be launch-ready as a v1 in 6 months or less.

On that last note, I have a relatively flexible schedule, so while this wouldn't be my full-time gig, this could definitely be more than a "side-project" - I can put good quality time on this, not those silly nights-after-work-and-weekends-on-the-brink-of-burnout hours.

I speak english and french (french being my native tongue) and live in Canada (Quebec, east coast). You could be anywhere in the world, I think if it clicks we can make the distance and timezone difference work no problem. If that resonates with you, let's try this!
