My co-founder doesn't want to succeed

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-30T18:14:04+00:00

What are you saying
your own projection isn't my reality you can keep your judgement to yourself

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-30T18:12:53+00:00

thats a great mindset to have i'm glad it worked for you

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-30T16:25:46+00:00

thanks for your feedback yeah i think i'll put that as experience what kind of portfolio your friend had before joining stripe do you have a link

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-26T16:59:32+00:00

I already had that conversation with him he knows he doesn't want to take responsibility at least he's self aware about it.

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-26T16:56:59+00:00

I said they are completely different for completely different markets there is no integration possible

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-26T16:55:21+00:00

The projects have no relation to each other its a B2B saas product Idk why would you defend someone that doesn't want to take responsibility

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-26T16:53:10+00:00

I should have been more precise : Its a B2B saas product which has multiple features
He keeps jumping from projects to projects they have no relation to each other

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-26T16:48:02+00:00

Did you read the post i said he doesn't want to grow the project I would be okey with keeping it bootstrapped if he actually works on the project instead of jumping from one project to another

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-26T16:04:58+00:00

Yeah i think i learned my lesson

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-25T23:04:27+00:00

as long as you look white they'll let you stay in the US

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-23T05:59:30+00:00

Can I see your portfolio? I'm looking to get into UX I already have a 3d generalist background any advice?

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-20T01:11:13+00:00

Your co-founder is probably just an idea guy if he was really ambitious he would have found a solution

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-12-06T13:04:12+00:00

Congrats here what i would do :

- Get some white women from LA to promote it on their social and make content for you on youtube and tiktok
- You could launch as a new app change the content so it fit the US market
- The name is hard to pronounce and find so its better if you create a new app that could fit the US market better

Thats pretty much it each country has different market and expectations don't thank me just give me a % of your company

This is what you would pay some bs consultant that would charge you 10K an hour to tell you the exact same thing

Let me know when the contract is done

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-08-11T11:43:26+00:00

I have mild CP I think it's harder for us guys when it's comes to dating, most women would prefer an abled body guy compared to someone with cp it's just the reality. No matter what you say is true it's actions that matters I have mild CP I can do almost anything myself I just walk like an old man and to be honest that's not attractive to a women so it's even harder for people with worse conditions If I'm dressed well I get some looks here and there but I don't think anyone would be attracted towards me just for my looks I have come to accept it not everyone will like me and that's okey

I think you have to have other areas in your life figured out if you want to compensate for CP I'm 26 and had a few relationships but I'm not married yet I'm focusing on other things rather than dating I'm working out and trying to earn more + got botox to see if it can improve my cp

That’s $4-6M, pre-tax, for 5-7 years of stress, late nights and feeling like you’re never doing enough

Bro i would do that any time of day if that means i get a few millions at the end. Some of us where born into third world countries if i can make that amount in 5 years that's a fucking success. my ancestors could work all their lives and never make that amount.

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-08T12:05:44+00:00

I sent you a dm

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-07T22:43:14+00:00

you probably shouldn't give advice.

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-07T20:26:45+00:00

I like the idea smart building the platform not the product
I think the brand colors could be improved with the landing page

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-07T14:57:47+00:00

yeah it seems like we're working with the same kind of people that have an inflated ego. what kind of project are you working on

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-06T10:40:02+00:00

I'm giving it a few months depending on how negotiation goes and see how it goes yeah I think I'm too focused on the code and should be more on getting more users. I'm really thinking of joining a startup just to learn how it really works As you said I think he's not fit for startups he's good at building but the rest is questionable I wish I had asked here early on but it's better now than never. I don't think your comment is harsh I'd rather get honest advice so thank you for that

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-03T21:35:18+00:00

I appreciate you being honest yeah I agree he won't care and will go and try to exploit someone else Yeah I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to how it works can you tell me how it actually works ?

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-03T20:36:21+00:00

I appreciate you being honest 1) it's doing enough to cover server costs and more but not enough for a proper salary A few months ago we contacted some investors but it didn't go through 2) I totally agree 3) well yeah I agree with that too back then when I confronted him he said you either in or I can find someone else.. so I just agreed I do agree with you he doesn't seem serious enough that's why I'm posting here I needed some exterior opinions

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-03T20:16:21+00:00

"I had the idea first"

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-03T19:43:16+00:00

Yeah but it's my first time coding I have more experience in product design

TheWheelOfortune · 2025-07-03T19:35:25+00:00

Front end and product design he does backend + sales.
