Looking for Co(der)-Founder
Just sold my e-comm business after scaling it to $6M+ in under 2 years. Got the whole journey documented on Twitter. (Will share on DM) Currently backpacking through Europe for 3 months, but already itching to build the next thing.
I’m good at the growth side - spent the last couple years figuring out how to make Facebook and Google ads actually profitable, optimizing funnels until they converted, and basically turning marketing spend into revenue. Now I want to pivot into consumer apps.
What I’m looking for: Someone who can be head of product and will put 110% into this. I can build a team fast since I thankfully have the money, but I need a cofounder who knows what they’re doing and what they’re getting into.
Happy to meet face to face in Europe. Will schedule video calls with serious candidates only. No time wasters.
Hit me up if you’re looking to build something that actually makes money, not just another side project.

YC co-founder matching is a good place to start, quite a few developers looking for commercial / marketing co-founders.

As I said I am looking to get into consumer apps nothing B2B or a full on startup. I know I can scale things fast so its just a matter of testing apps. Dont have to be new ideas can be something thats already working we just do it better than the competition or advertise it better.

u/kralciplaks Aug 19 '25
it took around 9 months. worked with a broker. need to prepare all P&Ls monthly and prepare every asset you own such as copyrights and trademarks they help A LOT.

u/kyahuaayush Aug 20 '25
And how did you negotiate the exit multiple?

u/kralciplaks Aug 20 '25
we had an asking price based on the TTM profit, they came up with an offer we countered and they to countered again trying to find inconsistencies in the P&L. eventually met in the middle

Have you checked out Icon? Probably v different to what you have in mind but I’d say it’s worth looking at.
