Process seems to be more complex & YC specific.
I want things to be easily available just like Who's Hiring.

Not exactly co-founder, but for ReachExt K.K.'s new business line https://www.employmentjapan.com/we are looking for countrywise business partners. In a way the person or entity would be as good as a co-founder for his/her own country because the profit sharing will be as close to being a founder - though limited to the operations/business of one country.
In case of interest, please do check the details at https://www.employmentjapan.com/become-our-business-partners....

Sincere apologies that I made a type for the URLand typed https://www.employmentjapan.com/ with a "We" after the slash. In fact it was not a typo but the space bar seems to be pi$$ed with me :(.
The onmly thing I could do was seeting up a redirect, which I did.

Any focus outside of Japan in terms of expansion (just wondering as I'm not there) ?
Also, have you looked into some global recruitment firms with Japanese branches? Might be a good option for partnerships.

Exactly, that's the idea. Japanese multinationals are in all developed and developing countries. They always need Japanese speaking bilinguals because there are always so many Japanese who may not be speaking English. Just for an example if we search on LinkedIn for Japanese speaking jobs in the USA, at any point of time we would find 5000-6000 such jobs only in USA. And, all jobs would never be on LinkedIn.
Same is the case with any other countries. So, yes, the idea is to have partners in various countries. Countries like the US may have two partners (East and West costs), while many other countries can just have one partner with exclusive rights for that country.

HealingGardens.co Healing Gardens — an AirBnb of gardens. We are a platform that allows users to safely reap the benefits of the Great Outdoors by reserving time at a nearby private garden and/or farm. Farms/Gardens on our platform have been offering very interesting things for guests such as birthday parties, wine tastings, gardening classes, micro weddings, sound baths, reptile rescue trainings and so many more things. Our reason to exist is two fold - to enable access to nature for people in cities. And secondly to make money for urban farmers. We started 2 years ago when I used nature to recover from acute anxiety attacks. That and a few other events made me realize the difference access to nature could make to the mental health of people. So with the help of my cofounder who is an urban gardener for 8+ years, we started to think of ways we can help. So far we have helped 40 gardens make $100K+. And guests continously give the gardens amazing reviews. You can read some of them on google.
We are looking for help in continuously improving our tech specially our backend. Currently the backend is an .Net API on a Postgres DB. To connect, you can email: [email protected]

Looking for a co-founder to try and build different ways to interview and assess candidates. There is an MVP currently that I have developed which has helped garner good feedback. Now it's time to get these users and multiple other perspectives to get to the actual product.

No more missed connections.
Group chats for festival, artwalk, or hitting the bars on a Friday night. People who are in very close proximity should be able to communicate near seamlessly. Yet 15 years after the release of the iphone there isn’t actually an easy way to do this.
The key is in the user controls and screening. There is more to it but will discuss privately.
Technical solutions exist but have been implemented incorrectly. Like before Instagram there was hipstimatic. Current solutions don’t understand the problem they trying to solve.
Me: Not technical, but have made a few things. For this have done a lot of research, made mockups, got user feedback. Clear path to V1 of product.
Seeking solid, enthusiastic iOS dev, backend dev (maybe android), cofounders who can make app that handles lots of group chats with up to 250 users per group. Preferably have worked on/made social apps. email in profile.

SEEKING CO-FOUNDER | Applied NLP | Full-Stack Developer | US | Lifestyle Biz
B2B SaaS product for exploring and querying chat transcripts - focused on a domain I think of as "Who said what where and when?" - starting with industries that still run on un- or semi-structured transcripts. About me: Market/Product strategist and researcher by day. Strong product vision and SME. Decent self-taught Python dev. About you: Python, Elasticsearch, JS. Groks graphs and applied NLP problems but maybe not super hard ones. Would rather wrench on something promising in your spare time than quit your day job. Current status: Good progress parsing nasty semi-structured plaintext, thinking through data model.

keygen.sh is one of the leading software licensing APIs. Founder-led, 100% bootstrapped, B2B SaaS business. Been around for coming up on 7 years. I built the entire business, and currently run it, by myself. Now looking to expand the operation and I think that starts with good sales and marketing co-founders. Bonus points if you have experience in the enterprise markets.
Reach out if this is something that sounds interesting.

SEEKING COFOUNDER | transcription/sheet music data blockchain protocol | marketing/sales | worldwide | preseed
Https://parture.org Ever tried finding sheet music but it didn't exist, was incomplete, or incorrect? Parture aims to transcribe all recorded music _ever_ by awarding NFTs to transcribers, validating data using a Colony.io DAO and paying NFT holders using inflation and query fees from the decentralized query network (think SPARQL queries on the structure of music)

I love this idea! For reverse search (i.e. play this tune to find it) it would be far superior to the likes of Shazam for finding music.

I think the thread would be a good idea, but I think keeping it general about collabs instead of only founder focused would drive up engagement.

Actually - I’m absolutely looking for a cofounder with a decent business background at the moment for a tech/physical product-based business I’ve been putting together.
I’d love a thread like this! :)
