There is an app like that for Afrika: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eduven.cc.african&hl=en_US , and when I Google I can find at least one for every continent and many countries.

And ignoring those apps, you can find localised dishes easy enough in a global so like Tasty.

why are these copied straight from cofounder's lab?

also, the whole cofounder's lab approach stinks of wantrepreneur... a bunch of business guys get duped into paying to go to some meetup that's 90%+ business guys, who are all frothing at the mouth to pounce on the 6 technical guys who got tricked into coming but got in for free. seriously, why are 3 of the 8 roles, and 5 of 6 skills areas business-based and not technical? here's a healthy dose of reality: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/15/stop-looking-for-a-technical-co-founder/

Sure!

I'm from Romania, but I've been working with clients from all over the world. I would prefer to join a remote position :)

Hey!

I'm looking to build a platform that will allow clothing resellers to upload, manage, analyze and sell their clothes on all online marketplaces, such as Ebay, Shopify, Etsy, and all other marketplaces that have a public API. View the website here. The mockups will be up very soon.

A big emphasis right now is getting our mvp out there, which will have the core functionality of letting users a) log in and b) upload their clothing to the marketplaces available. In terms of the technical specs, this is something that has been very difficult for me to develop myself, however I do know it is possible as there are small stage companies also executing on this.

In terms of the skillset I bring - I ran a marketing agency previously, have the ability to develop partnerships, and take priority in business development and customer acquisition, alongside having a pro-bono designing company helping us out. My role would consist of approaching companies for private API's and developing our early adopter base (currently at 10 people).

If you're able to book a 15 minute call here, I'd love to simply just to get to know you, what you want to be, your technical abilities and also your past experiences. If you have any questions shoot em down below or in my messages!

have you seen this?

The answer really depends on a bunch of factors..a few may be

• where you're located... if you're in SV/SF it may be different than Boston/NYC or Miami or a tier 3 city (or overseas)
• how far along your project is? If all you've done is register an entity with shares-- then it sounds like you're still in the idea stages, in which case you'll have to hand out more equity.
• who is receiving the equity (how helpful are they and how much longevity do they have in helping you... are they only good for building an MVP)
• What is the realistic upside of the business... do you already have ideas who you could exit the company to? For instance, you know company X bought a similar company to yours for Y last year-- this could give you an idea what your company could one day be worth... is it a $100M exist? $1B? Try to be conservative because most noobs will assume $1B.
• How many other people do you need to give equity to get the company to where it's making money?

>What is the best way to give some equity to the person so that he gets motivated by the big number but actually he will not be in control of the company?

It shouldn't really be about fooling the person with a big number. Even with a small number, you should be able to explain the math at a high level so they understand there is significant upside.

No, I mean Stripe Connect. That’s what it’s for. You can take a payment from one party and send split payouts to other parties in a single transaction. You can also transfer funds between different parties. https://stripe.com/connect

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to me.

The idea of the app came out of my own need when I needed to buy plane tickets and book apartments for 4 days in July in Amsterdam. As you may well know Amsterdam is a very popular option in the summer and it's hard to find something reasonably priced. I used small script to check Airbnb for the amount of available accommodations under $200 per night and found a 4 day period that had the most options available. So yes right now it's a script but it shouldn't be a big problem to turn it into a stage 1 product as you will see below.

So I thought why don't I combine something like that with a plane ticket checker so I find a combination of good accommodation and cheap flight tickets to get an optimal combination.

So as a stage 1 app I think of something like a script that I used before but turned into a small useful website that allows you to find a period with the most of Airbnb (and later on Booking and some other providers) options for certain conditions (destination, number of people, number of beds, property type, maximum price per night and so on) and to find the best price period for a certain property.

Later on that can be combined with a plane (train/bus later on) ticket planner that will generate a full trip with an optimal price.

I'll start.

I'm the founder of Polar.

https://getpolarized.io

I have 25 years of industry experience. I have a previous exit when I sold my company to six apart. My background is in distributed systems. One of the inventors of RSS. Previous company was a petabyte-scale search engine.

Polar is making money but not profitable factoring in salaries. The revenue model will work but we're just about to add some important monetization features.

What I need now is a co-founder that's really an expert on growth, product, marketing, and consumer.

Or users are VERY passionate about the product. Distribution right now is my main goal.
