About r/cofounderhunt

Please pay attention to Rule #1, we now require flair! Please provide as much context as you can -- your background (skills/experience) if you're looking to join a project, or as much context on what you're building and what you need if you're looking for a co-founder. You will be banned if your post is not looking for a co-founder, or not offering yourself as a co-founder. (service offerings, rants etc), help us keep the signal above the noise ratio! Idea stage? Try r/ideavalidation
