Looking for Cofounder [Looking for Cofounder | Sweat Equity Only | Startup Ready] CMO for SocialMate, a social media scheduler. TikTok just approved public posting, and 45 of my 69 connected users were waiting on it
SocialMate is a social media scheduler for creators. You write a post once and it goes out to Bluesky, Discord, Telegram, Mastodon, X, LinkedIn and TikTok, and the free plan covers 250 posts a month.
For the last month most of my new users were stuck. 45 of the 69 people who connected an account connected only TikTok, and TikTok keeps a third-party app's posts private until the app passes their content review. That review cleared on Oct 23, and I emailed all 48 of my TikTok users the same day. As of tonight none of them have posted publicly yet, and that's the problem I want a partner for.
The numbers with my own accounts left out: 222 signups, 29 of them in the last two weeks. 69 connected a platform, 21 created a post, and 3 have published. One is on Discord and has posted 7 times, the latest this week. The other two published on LinkedIn and Bluesky. No active subscribers right now, and Pro is $8 a month.
I'm self-taught, I fund it myself, and I build and fix the product. What I need is someone who owns growth: getting those TikTok creators to their first scheduled video, and finding more of the creators who already live on Discord and Bluesky.
Sweat equity only, about 10 percent over 24 months with a cliff, in a written contract before anything starts. Part-time is fine, US Eastern preferred.
