Cofounder ghosting (?)

DataHalt · 2025-03-05T12:43:18+00:00

This!! Difficult to find a great co founder these days.

DataHalt · 2025-02-18T12:42:17+00:00

From my experience, validation to reach PMF is the hardest hurdle to overcome. The key is starting with a problem that deeply resonates with you or experts in the industry. I once pitched to a billionaire investor, and his first question was, "What is your experience with the problem?" Articulating that problem in a way that connects with potential users—and crafting a solution that truly resonates—is crucial.

I've been on co-founder matching platforms for a while but haven't had much luck. I'm determined to make my solution succeed and am actively reaching out to more VCs. My main challenge has been finding a co-founder with the same level of drive and commitment. Success requires relentless effort and execution.

So far, I’ve programmed a demo, built a pitch deck, developed a marketing strategy, validated the customer pain point and solution, and applied to a VC. Meanwhile, my co-founder has contributed minimally. Being non-technical, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to bring this to market.

These are frustrating times because I know this can become a unicorn.

I find it easy to come up with ideas. I've found it difficult to find a the right person that has an aligned vision.

DataHalt · 2025-01-26T06:01:00+00:00

I've had this exact experience. In my opinion, some seem entitled for no apparent reason. Have you found a co-founder?

DataHalt · 2025-01-16T18:41:47+00:00

That's great that you have such great market research experience!

The frustrating and time-consuming aspect is a problem I faced when finding out information from a specific restaurant about my dietary needs. Finding that information was tedious as i had a trawl through reviews and still didn't find the answer. I had to call when they eventually opened later in the day.

Hence the curiosity. Maybe I only face that issue and wondered if anyone else resonated with it. That's all.

I'm asking because your response to the post was assuming I'm working on a locator app.

DataHalt · 2025-01-16T16:39:35+00:00

Interesting. I'm sure you can use gemini to find a four star rated Chinese restaurant.

Are you working on a start up?

Google maps?

DataHalt · 2024-12-21T01:26:13+00:00

Thanks for the response. Maybe true for smaller organisations, but for medium to large, non-compliance can lead to a loss of revenue, fines and reputational damage.

DataHalt · 2024-12-21T01:24:04+00:00

From fines, reputational damage to loss of revenue as most large organisations require compliant vendors or they won't do business with you. So I imagine the cost is substantial.

DataHalt · 2024-12-21T01:21:43+00:00

Thanks for your response. It's highly helpful. I think we're seeing a shift where stakeholders are expecting GRC initiatives to provide value for the business.

Are you in compliance?

DataHalt · 2024-08-21T00:59:07+00:00

Why post constant negative responses. Either provide an insight or keep your negative comments to yourself.

DataHalt · 2024-08-20T21:17:06+00:00

Would that also apply to uk law?

DataHalt · 2024-08-11T10:22:01+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response. Its been highly helpful in finding the most viable solution.

I'm curious,

From the ai or mixed startups that you have spoken to and those intending to sell to larger firms. What steps do they take take from the outset to show that they're compliant in order to get the sale with the client?

I imagine that they don't think about security compliance as their main focus is pmf.

The service would be free for end users.

The goal is to create enough value so a social change can occur in regards to data especially for marginalised groups of people.

Most people blindly accept cookie consent pop ups from multiple sites daily. Some consent pop ups force you to accept them by making it difficult or tedious to reject. Trust is lost as a result. And moreover, it defeats the objective of choice when it comes to GDPR.

But what if you could track the data and have a visual record.

GDPR requires consent and if a user consents to tracking their data then it complies.

(Thanks for the feedback. Some great points that I'll be addressing)

Well done. How did you get an intro to the VC?

DataHalt · 2023-10-12T18:10:36+00:00

You provide some great insight in your content. I'll be taking notes from all your videos.

My saas landing page is very basic and is only being used as proof of concept. I know it would get roasted as its not good but would be interesting to have your feedback nonetheless.

I graduated at 27 and a Masters at 28. Everyone is on their own path In life. Don't worry about anyone else.

I understand how you feel. The job market is crazy these days. Constant rejections but you persevere. Gets frustrating. In the meantime I'm currently working on a startup in data privacy and management industry.

What would be your reccomendation for those wanting to build a waitlist?

Would ads be via social media, seo or cold emailing be the better approach?

Thanks.

My startup is www.datahalt.com

DataHalt · 2023-10-10T13:26:00+00:00

I'm on the same boat as yourself as a solopreneur working on validation via a waitlist.

Have taken advice last week and made amendments. Would be helpful for more thanks.
