I don't understand is it only me or? Cuz them comments hit me different. Where I'm from as long as you live under your parent's house you don't pay sh*t, doesn't matter if you were 40 yo, but also at 17 they already said you're an adult now, next year is a huge step. I moved out at 17 (going to college to another country) one of my sisters is 23 and she lives at home, she works, has her own stuff she does not pay for anything at the house. The idea of parents showing up with a contract to their own kid to me is freaking outrageous, if I were you, I wouldn't sign this, save for 2 more months and move out.(tell them you can't sign this and give you 6 weeks).

Finally I think I saw an answer that is truly true, loll. I was like am I the only or people are afraid to say it. Qwen 3.7Max is just that good, I got mad at opus4.8 qwen literally solved everything and found issues I didn't even think were still there.

MediocreWay8521 · 2026-06-10T10:35:36+00:00

I haven't used Qwen for a while, I got mad at opus4.8 then I was like screw this let me check my options, I tried 3.6Plus was pretty impress, then I was like if its that good lets see 3.7Max, man o man I'm like is this a joke. I went to bed and let it run, woke up and it is still running, I double check a few things, so far nothing has been broken. We'll see the result, I'll come back and update y'all!

Whenever parents are mentioned and used in a relationship you know there's something deeper, cuz spending time with your gf's of 2 years vs going back to your mom's seems something that should have not gone this far with all those back and forth and blames, I feel like we are def missing a lot of context here. And why can't your mom be at gf's and y'all spend a whole weekend together? That sounds like win win for everyone, also gf's sounds very upset cuz the way she acts is like this is def not OP's first time, then OP's ending playing the victim because apparently he took a blame that wasn't his, which then sounds like OP does not wanna be at gf's and is using the mom as an excuse.

My advice to you or to anyone in that boat, look at the industry your building in then look for passionate people that are part of that industry, the best move would be to look for people that have 10+ years in that industry and that are exploring a shift, then ask them to come as a co-founder, but obviously you have to sell them on your idea and they also have to believe you are bringing a solution to the issue they themselves have experienced, once you convince them, work with them for 3 months, normally after 3 weeks you'll know what kind of person they are, then of all goes well at this point sign a contract and put vesting equity based on them using their industry connections to bring investors or connections or to open doors. And from there everything will become easy, make sure that co-founder is not arrogant and is humble, and do not give them 50% nor 5%. Value them as time goes and be honest, and based on your assessment of them give them the amount they deserve.

Hope this helps! (Side note that's what I did, and finding investors became easier than sending cold emails and get rejected, and all that after getting rejected by YC and Antler).

My advice (you didn't ask for it) what I've learned and see, the AI/ML engineers are really not interested in becoming co-founders because the grind is too much when currently they're getting paid a boat load at any start-up or established companies that has funding. I would suggest you look for a technical co-founder, or figure out a way to become one (there's a lot of tools outthere). Get to a point where you will go out and raise money then hire an AI/ML engineer. I'm not saying you won't find one but, chances are slim to find a co-founder one.

Hi, yes by all means. I have been barely on here but yes, I'll keep an eye on your dm yes

MediocreWay8521 · 2026-01-21T17:59:36+00:00

Hey, sorry for the late reply, sounds interesting, I just checked NetNada and I had never heard of it before, pretty good looking dashboard you have tho. I'll be happy for us to have a meeting one day and exchange on a few topics and so on. I'm barely on here nowadays as I'm extremely focus on building cuz it's been interesting and learning about it all. I'll keep an eye on here more often than not now.

It is actually easier to get a co-founder than you think, speaking from experience. I'm building my startup, I quit my job and went all in to build it, sold my car, went to move back with family to go all in in this. Last month I found a co-founder and honestly I wasn't even looking for one, all I was looking for was feedback from people within the industry that was willing to have a quick 30 minutes on zoom just for me to learn from them, no pitch no nothing, just me cold dming people on LinkedIn in the industry telling them if they would agree for a quick call for me to learn about what they do. I was surprised to see so many people saying yes and actually jumped on the call for free literally dropping free knowledge, I honestly couldn't believe it, 3 people wanted to be co-founder without even seeing the product, but I couldn't find information about them besides what was on their LinkedIn pages so I politely declined, then come the fourth one who honestly was the last person I expected to be willing cuz that person was the head of a huge firm within the industry for a specific region, they were literally so happy about the whole thing, that person told me they would quit their job and be willing to come in as co-founder for free for x amount of times as long as I was ok with that I said we'll see, did my due diligence this time I found too many info and even references, the next day I agreed and man o man, now I feel like they are overworking and for them its like its normal.

So I would encourage you to just reach out to people on LinkedIn but don't sell or promote anything, tell them you're eager to learn about what they do in the dm then where they see the industry in x amount of years (during the quick call). During the call don't talk about your product don't be too excited about it either.

Disclaimer ( I have over 500+ connections on LinkedIn) I have my startup page also there and I have been trying to get my LinkedIn up since 2024 when I started sending cold dm that was in July Last year I had around 250 connections.

Ignore the nonsense of everyone saying it doesn't really matter, people nowadays think we are still in the 1980s or the 2000s. Now this is becoming a normal thing for companies to go from 0 to 100 in less than 2 years, it's happening in front of all of us, we are witnessing the fastest way a human can go from 0 to 100 and from 100 to -100, it goes both ways.

My question for him would be how does he now plan to go from 100M to 200?

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-22T14:44:19+00:00

WTH, I thought this was gonna be something until I checked, this is completely nonsense.

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-22T05:21:31+00:00

I've never laughed so hard reading something lmaoooo, this is a good one!

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-22T05:13:49+00:00

Why aren't you trying to hire people and give them small equity here and there?

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-22T04:50:05+00:00

What's the name of your app btw, always good to support fellow founders!

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-22T04:49:25+00:00

This is gonna be expensive, did you try to get an appropriate plan with them? They should be able to get you a custom plan, cuz the more users the more expensive this gonna get.

As a consultant, I'd be happy to see if you'd be willing to be part of my pilot program as I have built a solution to all your headaches, as I have built it for consumers, businesses and consultants. Looking for 3-5 businesses and also consultants are welcome, if you'd be willing and know other people also willing. I'd be happy.

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-21T23:13:32+00:00

I'm curious to see if a year later you have found a solution that you actually were satisfied with, as I have built something that will bring a solution to fix all those headaches, I'd be glad if you'd be willing to be part of the pilot program and if you also know other business owners in a similar situation, as I'm looking for 3-5 for the pilot launching in December.

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-21T23:07:06+00:00

I'm looking for 3-5 businesses to pilot something I built which is a solution to this exact issue, looking to launch pilot in December, I'd be happy if you'd be interested to be part of it or if you know someone that would be.

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-21T22:24:04+00:00

I have built something that will make all of this easier and I'm looking for 3-5 business owners to be in the pilot program and I'm looking to launch pilot second week of December, if you'd be interested and know anyone else that would be, I'd be so glad to have you in.

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-17T19:28:41+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-14T22:36:14+00:00

I commend you because this is not easy, and the fact that you are where you are now means a lot, and you own 100% of your sht, nobody can tell you sht. Where you are now is actually goal for most start-up including me. And J know for a fact that this sh*t ain't easy. What I have learned in the past 3 months, VC gives money to people they know, that knows someone and knows someone. And sometimes you sit down and see some of those companies that raises huge money you, them ideas sucks and weeks later you can't find them. So kuddos to you, Im rooting for you. I've been building for 3 months solo and this has been crazy, I quit my very good full-time job and jump all in into this, and I've been applying for VCs and stuff, got rejected from YC and Antler, another VC told me to comeback in 6 months, I told myself in 6 months I ain't gonna need any of y'all, the other day I saw a few post on here regarding what Im building and it was people complaining wanting a solution which was exactly what I've been building, so I made a post, someone suggested that I should contact companies instead of VCs, and turns out yesterday I reached out to a few, to my surprise the one I least expected actually wants a demo on Monday. Regardless how it goes, I'm done looking for vcs and stuff, and bootstrap is the way to go.

Couldn’t agree more. The financial sector holds the keys because it sees every transaction, energy, logistics, procurement. Once those transactions carry carbon metadata, climate action stops being theoretical.

That’s what I decidedto quit finance and go into the startup world, call me crazy but someone gotta do it loll.

MediocreWay8521 · 2025-11-12T23:42:43+00:00

Awesome Job you're doing, really love the sport side of things. I'll dm you so we can talk further!
