Ask HN: I will pay you $2000 and code the MVP for your side-project

Premise 1: Investors/Incubators over-estimate their ability to pick good ideas/startups. Premise 2: Software by a lone developer is not pragmatically different from software by a big A-team. It’s the market fit and marketing / sales that makes or breaks the project. Premise 3: Most freelancers will not build and/or follow-through with their ideas, because they are not sure it will sell. Premise 4: HackerNews has a decent number of people who know how the world works, and how a little glue would make it better. Based on these premises I present The Proposition 2.0 (following version 1.0 [1]): I’ll pay you $500 for your “real-life problem that needs a software fix” idea and market validation / research. I will build the MVP and give you another $1500 to bring us our first paying customer(s). We split the resulting product 80-20 as co-founders. [1] https://ift.tt/2HR9hbV [2] https://ift.tt/2WBFcAM
