Building on the "Who is Hiring?" threads, here comes a monthly thread for folks who are in search of a co-founder. Let people know what you are building and what you are looking for in a co-founder.
Please state the location and include REMOTE if you are open to building a company remotely. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.
Please only post if you personally are the founder (or one of the co-founders) of the startup. No recruiting firms, venture builders, or job boards. Only one post per company (how many co-founders can one look for anyway). Please explain on a high level what your company does.
Commenters: please don't reply to these posts telling people why their idea won't work. It's off topic here.
Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in committing yourself to a co-founder role. No "CTO for hire" companies!

Clubs Poker (https://clubspoker.com) makes it dead simple to play poker with your friends for fun. We’re going to make poker look more like a social game (think Fortnite) and less like a casino. Sound interesting?
Clubs is currently hosting around 1,000 poker games/month and avg growth is 100% month over month. We recently closed a round of funding led by Village Global, along with other angel investors and professional poker players.
About me: Former poker player, PM for 10 years, now CEO at Clubs Poker.
To apply, email me at taylor [at] clubspoker.com, mentioning this post in HN & a description of why you think you'd be a good fit. You should have noteworthy full-stack experience under your belt already.

I figure that would be your biggest comparison/competition.

Would love to see it featured in a "Launch" post, and perhaps featured more prominently as a permanent nav link.
IMO things like this bring balance back to HN being a place for thought exchange to spur creation - rather than just another reddit-like "let's react to the latest news URL posted".

Glad you appreciate this; I think it's an important problem to solve!
I feel there's need-gap in solutions for finding a co-founder and Hope Co-Founder Matching addresses it.
P.S. I've added it to my curated list of startup tools - https://startuptoolchain.com .
Does the YC Startup School specifically target younger entrepreneurs, or is being 50+ Okay here?

Piano Gym is a free website where anyone can use a real Piano to learn music theory and performance in the context of actual sheet music. It uses a myriad of flash card tools to teach complex topics, and all of it is managed for you by Piano Gym using spaced repetition. You just have to show up and do your reps!
Piano Gym provides courses and lessons using Piano methods books like The Mayron Cole Piano Method. However educators and learners can also create their own content to build material they may want to focus on instead. We love supporting teachers and learners together!
The overall goal is to support learners in completing their daily reps through deliberate practice while having fun!
Come and do your reps at Piano Gym! We’ll be spotting you!

I am looking for team members who believe in the dream product. This will not be paid, but eventually may be revenue generating. We have a patreon here right now: https://patreon.com/PianoGym
I need someone who can execute technically.
I need someone who can execute in a business management capacity.
Right now my bandwidth is limited and Piano Gym is finally coming out of stealth. I need someone who can help deliver milestones and help create a community of learners who want to grow with our platform.
Please contact us through our social media or at `DoYourReps@PianoGym.com`
At the moment it will not be open source, but in the future there will be efforts to open source it. If not open sourcing the code at least open sourcing the learning material for Piano Gym.
Please tell all your friends we really need the exposure!
I am looking for a co-founder who would ideally be the CEO, who thinks long-term and wants to build solutions to empower people. I am happy to have a chat or call. Timezone IST at the moment. I have a couple ideas (1) but I am open to figuring out other ideas too.
I am interested in Marketplaces, (omni-channel/e) Commerce, Data exploration, No-code, Healthcare. But I place impact over profit and believe that profit comes to great products. Having mental issues, I have been focusing on my work routine since last year. I am open about my mental struggles; am aware of some things that work, but it is still a learning process.
1. Data exploration: https://dwata.com
Email: My full name (written above, no space in between) at that email domain of Google.
I'm building a "Team Collaboration" app for SMEs. I run a few small businesses in Kerala, mostly in wholesale and retail. The product I'm building is to address the problems I'm facing as a small business owner.
Will email you.

I'm working on better QR codes. I think current QR codes suck because first of all you don't know what they go to by looking at them, so I embed a link preview into my QR codes' patterns.
I'm also working on creating and embedding apps so instead of just scanning a QR code and getting a PDF of the menu, you could order food, chat with wait staff, join a queue, etc. etc.
I need a more sales/marketing oriented cofounder, it isn't my strong suit.

The cooperative will have a strong free software focus, equal salaries, and ownership=membership.
The aim is to start with freelancing to reduce risk, and then develop more product-like projects. Let's see if we can make the social side work.
Email in my profile.
With self-governance included in the package, it's not imposible to turn into another Framasoft in the long term.
