If the Pandemic ended right now, what's the first thing you would do?

Stepping into 2021 there is some optimism that things might start going back to normal to some point and I'm curious what's the first thing you would do if everyone went back to normal right now? For me, I'd probably just go to a restaurant. I miss dining out so much

Which partnership helped your product grow?

We work in a unique edtech space that most people aren't familiar with yet. That means more partnerships with schools and students. They've helped us validate and test ideas and features. And now we are looking for new opportunities. What are some of your most successful partnerships that helped shape your product and grow? Looking to pick your brains.

Swiping right on a Co-Founder.

For those who had to actively scout for a co-founder. I have met a few potential CTO / Co-Founders for one of my most promising projects, PH of the Day, with a functional MVP and a fairly large (and to some extent prestigious) early adopter user base. But for a reason or for another, we didn't click. Sometimes it's about the tech stack, some other it's about the complexity of the project or about the commitment / non-aligned visions. I tend to scout on Reddit but, honestly, I feel it's a lottery there. I have tried IndieHackers, with much better results but, still, I haven't swiped right yet. Maybe I'm picky, as I look for entrepreneurial flair, down to earth / no ego attitude, tech expertise and vertical background. If that's not enough, I have been looking for someone I can be friend with and have a laugh together - I'm aware this might be wrong, as we're supposed to established a business relationship before than a friendship. But I also want to enjoy the journey. Basically, I tend to go for the "jackpot". So, I'm wondering, how did you guys meet your sweet half? What selection criteria did you set?
