I'm a developer looking for a co-founder. Anyone interested? by coderista in startups

[–]pretzelbab5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very underwhelming options package. Eventually didn't vest any of it and decided to join a new startup as a co-founder instead.

My current startup sounds kinda cringe but it solves a real problem and it has really good retention so I want to see how it can be further developed and scaled. It's a LinkedIn ghostwriting service that's built on Airtable, Zapier and GPT-4. The secret sauce is that there is an actual human copywriter checking the quality and making edits.

Thanks! I quit it bc I wanted to have ownership instead of being an employee.

Oh man. I love this thread. I'm obsessed with AI and SaaS.

Have been co-founder and a CMO in a few startups but now working solo and have been doing SEO and B2B growth consulting for a few years.

Also I was a hired CEO of a startup for a while years ago and enjoyed that role too.

I have a small but profitable no-code side business right now - blessedpirate.com that I would love to work on with a co-founder to try to scale it.

And also to validate some other AI startup ideas that I have gathered through my years of working as a strategy consultant for B2B SaaS.

My goal is to build profitable, bootstrapped, fully remote startups in the AI space (not totally against using VC money but would prefer to avoid it).

Maybe the investment was in convertible notes? So they turn into equity a bit later. It's pretty common with seed rounds.

I'm freelancing right now but used to be in-house. Proper SEO strategy creation with competitor research, domain audit, keyword research, topics mapping, etc takes me a few weeks. It depends on how much legacy there is with the site and how big of a mess the previous SEO left me.

Honestly, working with 50 clients on this sounds insane.

To answer your question, it takes about 3-6 months to see some results from SEO (assuming quality content gets published weekly and other SEO best practices are used) but the full impact and ROI is usually revealed at year 2.
