Original Summary

I have always been someone who notices small everyday frictions and immediately wants to build a fix for them. A while back, I got tired of texting myself random links on WhatsApp, so I built a small second brain tool to tag and organize everything. Later, while visiting Kumbh Mela, I could not find a medicine stall because temporary pop-up shops do not show up on Google Maps. I threw together a quick directory where temporary vendors could pin their locations until the event ended. Even though I work as a software engineer, deep coding is not what truly drives me. My real strengths are spotting market problems, shaping the product, and handling distribution and sales. Because of that, I spent nearly two years searching for a technical partner, and honestly it felt harder than dating on Hinge. Most friends and people I pitched to just nodded along without real input, poked holes without ever building anything themselves, or liked the idea of a startup until it came time to actually do the work on a weekend. It genuinely made me doubt my ideas and myself. Eventually, I met someone with the exact opposite skills. He is a heads-down builder who hates the spotlight and just wants to write solid code, while I handle customer validation, marketing, and closing. Instead of jumping straight into a formal company or splitting equity on day one, we spent six to seven months quietly collaborating on smaller projects first to test our communication, work ethic, and trust. People say finding a co-founder is like finding a life partner, and they are not wrong. Taking that trial period before committing made all the difference. For anyone running a SaaS with a partner, how long did you work together before you officially decided on equity and went all in?   submitted by   /u/Hot_Parsley_2167 [link]   [comments]
