Solodoers: Get matched with a side-project you want to scale

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 Today we want to share with all of you a product that we’ve been wanting to make for a while that can give life back to lots of our neglected side-projects and help those that want to scale ideas that have already been tested and worked. As fellow makers, we made a few products with potential and have a vision on how to scale them, yet we currently don’t have the time and resources to execute them well. We believe a small percentage of people have the best ideas, but less time to execute them. On the other hand, there are many top talents available lacking good MVPs, they are awesome executing but do not have the best ideas. While there are a lot of side-project marketplaces out there, they generally look neglected and not many people want to pay cash for an ageing abandoned project. That is why we have created Solodoers. 👉 FOR MAKERS BY MAKERS Solodoers is instead a managed MVP marketplace where you can apply with your projects and we will manually, using a +10.000 top talent network, match you with - A maker or team that wants to relaunch and scale that project. 👉 SUBMIT A PROJECT ✅ It is better to own a 10% of a successful startup than a 100% of a project that expires into a drawer. ✅It's very useful for makers because they can monetize old side projects by getting others to launch them, and we’re doing all of the legwork of finding the best deals and connections. The alternative usually results in the side project’s death.. ✅ Fresh and motivated talent, your idea is good but maybe you are not the right one to execute it. ✅ If we do not select your MVP at least we will give you feedback. ✅ Bonus: If your idea is brilliant we will thrilled to do the MVP for you with no-code and support you with the first product launch. 👉 APPLY AS A DOER ✅ All the curated MVPs are top notch, with a good domain, some visits and revenue. If you do not want to start from 0, Solodoers is your home! ✅ Reduce the learning curve. Projects already tested with product market fit. ✅ Do not work alone. Join a community of more than +100 successful doers. You will receive support, clients and people who believe in you. Yes we have a community! ✅ You don’t need a team, or an idea to join. We want talented, brave and committed people from a range of backgrounds, or industry experts, with an epic determination to make things happen. ✅ Our teams are led by knowledgeable founders who've been there, done that and now own the company that sells the t-shirts. Some of the doers are executives or serial entrepreneurs who sold their companies and do not have time to execute. 🚀TO SPICE THINGS UP ✅ Doers already love Solodoers. Go to Solodoer’s website to check out some of the MVPs users published, most of them are already selling! ✅ Solodoers has been in beta for some time and more than 5 founders have already given their side projects to new entrepreneurs, so the final product we are launching today is well tried and tested! 😌 All in all, Solodoers combines a series of knowledge and whatever to make side-projects more feasible for everyone. Excited to hear all of your feedback and see what you can find and do with Solodoers🙌

Love the idea and congrats on launching. It would probably be helpful to get a bit more info into how it works. Imagine I offload my side-project to someone else, would him/her and I discuss the revenue share or are there fixed deals in place? Or am I missing the point?

@hans_dekker For now, everything would be up to discussion, let me summarize the process for you, you are not missing the point :D 1. Hans offloads his car dealership comparison website side project to Solodoers, for free 2. We look through our applicants and even outreach our network to find the perfect person to offload it to - most likely, a previous automobile industry executive or with comparable experience in the field 3. We organize a meeting and automate basic legal conditions 4. A deal on equity / revenue share is discussed, with clear vesting and objectives to protect the initial project owner (Here, we still don't know how much or how, but Solodoers would keep a small incentive to keep supporting the project) 5. The side project owner gets to scale his side project that was going to die (and gets to mentor it) while someone with energy gets the chance to work on something that already works (and own a piece of it) As a maker/doer myself, I have tons of ideas, half-developed projects that I currently don't have the time to launch because I have decided to focus on something else. Seeing that project come to life and make money while I get to be an advisor is something I would really value. However, these deals are manual and really hard to find. We made this process easier.

Great idea, I've registered as talent. Not sure what that does yet but I'm sure I'll be told at some point. I think this can be developed further, reading comments above I see how this works now - it would be great to see this developed so that the 'founder' pitched the MVP and then 'Talent' would bid to become part of the team, with their bio and skills and track record visible to the 'founder'. Then within the site or app, a communication could begin to develop the team. Ultimately the team would be agreed and finalised, equity split etc. The 'founder' could propose what they are looking for at the outset and this would likely change as discussion were completed. Great MVP - love the idea.

@mattwood2 Hey! We will contact you with the available opportunities people have submitted, without disclosing anything they might of have marked as confidential, and will help you choose the project that is better suited to your experience and strengths. You got it, we have to develop this further. Yes, talent will be visible to founders too. This will all be manual first, we will find what works and code/automate it once we find the right process to scale :) thanks for applying and the feedback!
