Third New on IndieAIs: Open To Connect — tell the world what you're looking for as a builder
Solo building is powerful. But some of the best things ever built started with two people who found each other at exactly the right moment.
Open To Connect is a simple but meaningful new feature on IndieAIs. Builders can now signal what they're open to directly on their profile and tool listing:
🤝 Open to co-founder conversations
👨💻 Looking for a technical collaborator
🎨 Need a designer or growth partner
💡 Open to advisory relationships
📣 Looking for early beta users
💰 Open to acquisition or investment conversations
No cold outreach into the void. No LinkedIn DMs to strangers. The context is already there — someone lands on your tool, sees what you built, understands the problem you're solving, and then sees you're open to connecting. That's a warm introduction before a single word is exchanged.
If you're listed on IndieAIs — update your profile and turn on Open To Connect. The right person might already be on the platform.
Nice feature drop. The “open to connect” signal can be a conversion lever too if you treat it as a funnel, not just a badge:
1) profile view → connect click rate
2) connect click → meaningful reply rate (within 48h)
3) reply → collaboration outcome (intro/call/user/advisor)
Most directories stop at pageviews, so this is a smart differentiator.
