Hello great people at HN, I am new at this of entrepreneurship, so let me explain the difficulty I'm in front of in this moment.<p>Me and my partner are web developers (I'm more of back-end and he's more of front-end). When we quit our jobs we started looking for clients and we found two, the 1st client was ok, and the 2nd one, offered us a lousy partnership with his actual social media company, so when he gets a client that needs a website he'd outsource our services. We are aware he adds his profit as an overhead of the price, and this is where we are starting to have problems.<p>We understand that he needs to add his profit -we would do that too if we were in his position- but that doesn't give you much flexibility for you as developer to raise prices, because then the price gets way too high for the client. In some cases, he'd say "please lower the price a bit, he's a friend of my partners". I know if I tell him to not do that, he'll stop, however it's obvious that his partners will push him (his partners at the social media company are greedy) and then he'll have a lot of pressure over him.<p>How can I make this a situation where everybody wins?
