Ask HN: How do I get founders/partners?
5 comments
To end this post, I want to just say that this post was intended to help me find WAYS of finding partners, not to pitch my product. The only one of you to provide relative, good information was igorsyl. Thank you, igorsyl. If I wanted to pitch my product, I would have.
Anyone?

Reply to your own comments on HN more, and the co-founders will surely come
Do you have a demo?
Yeah, but it is more of a facade that can only run client side JavaScript/jQuery, more than anything is it a model of the UI/UX. I haven't even put it on my server yet. (I don't want to scare anyone off...)
Where are you located? If you want your cofounders to live near you then I suggest attending meetup and hacking events. If you are open to working remotely, then HN might be a good place to showcase your work and recruit someone to help you with your project.
In any case, any demo--regardless how crude it is--is more valuable than a description of it.

I am one of the very first 'startup'-types ever to be in my town near Lake Erie. The only conferences where I live are private company-only ones. Hacking is still a degrading term here. I freelance right now, here's my site: mayorpear.com
As for a demo, maybe a description is a better conveyer of value right now. But thank you for commenting by all means, usually I go unheard on HN.

Tip about your site: If there is no 'we', don't say 'we' in reference to your company.
I'd be more interested in your portfolio as well than your pitch.

Step 1.
Tell them about your project. Don't hype it up, just tell them about it.
Let's practice here.
Me: What is your project?
You: .......

[I am working on the front-end of the project and planning the back-end right now, for what its worth. The business model/strategy is already made also.]
