/biz/ - Business & Finance

Could Y-combinator be setting up for this partnership between two of their seeds. Request main net will be release by end of Q1 and would be perfect on top of the coinbase platform. Im seeing alot of "req is dead because of coinbase commerce" but why would they do that if they are funding both?

how aggressive are these muthafuckers?

Im assuming those Binance whales accumulated a lot of REQ with the Binance bug and this fork bullshit. Anyone else see them pumping this shit up to Walton or LINK levels after the fork?

Sup /biz/. Anyone here thinking about applying for any accelerators next month?

Let's apply for the 2017 Batch

I posted a thread here a couple of days ago explaining that I was having trouble finding a co-founder to start a business with. I tried looking online several times but everything failed -- people either wanted to meet with me - which I couldn't do due to family, or they didn't have the time or skills to contribute (I'm a programmer myself so someone who has strong tech skills is a must.)

It didn't make much sense to me since we have all the tools to do everything remotely plus I had already found my first customers which proved that demand existed. When I posted that original thread I was going to to give up but then tons of people said they were interested and suddenly my problem became who to choose. I spoke to a lot of people over the next few days and found someone I hit it off really well with - I was amazed and I'm extremely grateful to /biz/.

So lets try this again: we need to find one more person to join us so we have the perfect, balanced team. Two people work well as partners but three would be an absolute powerhouse. What we're looking for is someone who has the time and skills to dedicate towards this -- so full time. We really need close to full time commitments because believe me when I say that building a "side business" is more a fantasy than a reality (I've tried it several times, you just don't have the time to get any where.)

If there's any interest my email is: remote.biz.partners@gmail.com. Feel free to email me or drop a reply in this thread and I'll get back to you.

So /biz/ I'm in the process of starting a business that does IT consulting and I've already found my first customers. The problem is: I have no other co-founders and starting an IT business by myself rates somewhere between hard and impossible. I have thought about going to networking events but I live in the middle of no where and I can't move due to family which makes it hard for me to meet anyone.

My only options are to try find someone online but every website seems to be designed for normalfags to meet IRL and all I want to do is find another programmer like myself who wants to work remotely and be our own bosses. All the tools exist to do this like Slack, Git, Github, and Squiggle so I don't see collaboration being a huge problem.

You would think finding someone with some programming skills and spare time to join a promising business would be easy but this has turned out to be basically impossible. So far everyone I've found either doesn't have the time to commit to a business or is completely useless (like they can barely speak English or use a web browser kind of useless.)

What would you guys do if you were in my situation? I don't really want to burn out doing the work of 2 other people and nobody I know in real life has the time for this.
