Hi Guys,<p>I got overwhelming support and feedback from my last post about secondfounder.com but still, I felt the need of connecting founders together so that they can together buy a side project. It's very often when a non-technical founder buys a project they have to find a technical founder to take that project further.<p>Today I have implemented this feature in secondfounder.com<p>Link: <a href="https://secondfounder.com/find-founder" rel="nofollow">https://secondfounder.com/find-founder</a><p>Your feedback is always welcome.<p>Thanks
Few UX suggestions:<p>1. People might be more inclined to be interested in applying to be a co-founder if they can actually read the information on the founder/company before applying. However, currently there is a login barrier to seeing that information which may cause some people to decide it isn't worth it and leave the website without looking.<p>2. Add an easy way to close the login modal. Currently the only way I found was th e back button and that isn't a good solution for the reason in #3<p>3. Don't hijack the user's history and take control over the back button, it is very user un-friendly
I keep getting 'login to continue' when I click. Anybody have an account I can use?<p>Edit: OP stopped responding and it doesn't seem like anybody made it past the login-gate. If someone from the future is reading this, please take note, this is not the way to demo.
So is premium a "premium" experience or is it meant to be the base functionality of the site?<p>Two of the premium offerings are:
• Contact directly with the founder through messages
• Find and contact second co-founder<p>That seems like the entire reason anyone would use the app, am I wrong?

Semantic quibble:
A founder founds a company, if you're buying it you aren't a founder.<p>More broadly is there a market for side projects? I could understand someone's side project expanding to the point they need to bring someone else on board (which is what the name implies to me). It seems to me that if the founder is selling its probably because there isn't money in it. Or at least I would be concerned that the bulk of sales are for that reason rather than because the founder has another job or something.
This is really an interesting idea, because there are people who literally can't take it to the next level...but it's not really big enough for a capital infusion.<p>I guess I'll be hunting for something I can turn into a lifestyle business. Then I'll just roll these lifestyle businesses into riches!<p>I would have done this with one of my old companies years ago if this had existed. At the time I was making like 80k/year off of it for maybe 30 minutes of work a month. Now the market is gone, but still.
