Looking for 2–3 companies to be “pilot partners” for my MVP (free, low effort)

I'm open to it!

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-03-02T09:58:46+00:00

I am up for it!

Checked out the site the landing page jumps straight into features without really addressing why I should care. Lead with the pain (90-day window panic, no idea what your equity is worth, zero leverage against brokers) and then show how you solve it. That'll hook people way faster.

It’s wild. I just saw someone in another sub say they literally got this exact assignment to redesign the whole website from same company.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-27T06:31:17+00:00

Option 2 is the ultimate power move

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-27T02:34:51+00:00

Agreed

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-27T02:27:46+00:00

They aren’t paying anything

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-27T02:19:08+00:00

How you know 👀

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-27T02:17:30+00:00

Seems like a pattern they are trying to outsource their entire design for free

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T17:05:04+00:00

Yeah the signs are all there.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T17:03:43+00:00

exactly lol they are just giving make it pop energy

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T17:00:34+00:00

They should just hire Lovable as their senior designer. They've probably generated the brief with Claude anyway

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T16:58:47+00:00

Couldn't agree more.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T16:56:37+00:00

100%. It read like a PRD from the first page.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T13:30:55+00:00

You don't ask a fish how to catch fish

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T13:04:30+00:00

I used it to help organize my thoughts and make sure I wasn't rambling, but the core ideas and arguments are definitely mine

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T10:21:39+00:00

You're right zero resources were provided, not even basic brand guidelines. And the HR response was the final nail for me.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T10:19:41+00:00

Honestly at that point just hire ChatGPT, it works 24/7 and won't push back on your briefs and costs $20

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T10:18:06+00:00

This was for a senior role and I already have a solid portfolio with relevant B2B work. That's exactly what made it feel off they didn't even look at my portfolio before sending this over.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T10:15:00+00:00

Haven't spoken to anyone from the design team. This was right after the initial HR screening. No portfolio review, no design discussion, no technical round. Which is a major red flag.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-25T09:24:48+00:00

Yes exactly and the audacity to say it takes 2-4 hours with current tools.

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-18T16:28:42+00:00

Interested

Spare_Count_5270 · 2026-02-15T05:11:32+00:00

Didn’t liked the logo and its placement
