Ask HN: How about a Co-founders Search Site?
Recently, someone on HN started a HN Contractors spreadsheet so that it becomes easy to find contractors who are here at HN.<p>I was wondering if anyone would be interested in developing a website around that idea. Only instead of contractors, it would be for findingco-founders.<p>I was thinking that the site would have two sections.<p>In one, it would allow people wiling to work for equity to post their skills/resumes.<p>In the other, it would allow people to post their ideas (say a web app they want to build), and put up requests for developers, designers, etc, who have the necessary skills. And also indicate how much equity s/he would be willing to share with each.<p>The reason I think this will be good idea is because I am a designer and a very good one at that (my portfolio is at www.alexwyser.com), but I dont have any coding skills. My head is full of all kinds of interesting ideas, but I cannot execute them. If a talented developer(s) would be willing to work with me on my ideas, I would gladly give him/her 80% or more of the equity.<p>I understand that it is best to find co-founders from among you real-life friends/acquaintances, but some people simply don't know anyone with the right skills.<p>I am sure that a lot of people here have ideas they can't execute because they lack the skill and don't know anyone with those skills, and would find this site very helpful.<p>So what do you guys think? Would it work? Is it worth trying out? Would anyone like to work with me to build this website?
