About

Building something truly impactful has been on my mind for a while. I’ve already taken a shot at one idea, even assembling a software and hardware team, but after deep customer research and assumption testing, I realized the problem wasn’t pressing enough for people to pay for. So now, I’m back at the drawing board, hunting for that next meaningful problem. I’ll be sharing my journey here - from finding a niche to validating demand. If you’re on a similar path, you might find some inspiration along the way. For what it’s worth, just start. 🦄

Is it just me or it is kind of hard to find people to build something with?

Hey,
I ve been a software engineer (backend) for over nine years and have been wanting to build something on my own for a while now. I have ideas, good planning skills, and the discipline to execute, but unfortunately, I lack the experience as an entrepreneur, which I believe is an important aspect. This has led me to consider finding partners to help me bring my ideas to life or collaborate on new projects. However, it s been challenging to find people who are committed, structured, have a long-term mindset, and maintain positive energy.
Many people get excited about a project initially, but then they disappear or lose interest when results don t come quickly. And unfortunately, I m not in a position to hire people at the moment.
Has anyone else been through this? How have you found people who are truly committed to the long haul?
