If you are looking to get hired, this is the WRONG place. NO THIRD PARTY VENDORS OR VA’s ARE ALLOWED HERE AT ALL. All posts must use the correct title.

r/cofounder rules

1.
No Rules Lawyering
A rules lawyer is somebody who attempts to use the letter of the rules without reference to the spirit, usually in a misguided or ignorant attempt to "win" a debate with the mods. Don't debate the mods on the rules. You will lose.
2.
No New "Cofounder Only" Accounts
We want the oldest, highest karma accounts here possible. Any attempt to create a "cofounder only" account for specific use here only is against the rules. We do not allow alts and will be actively working to ban any of the ones we find. If you can't post on a new account, that's why. You are NOT allowed to post on new accounts that do not have enough karma. this is by design and we will never override it to allow you to post on a low karma account, so do not ask.
3.
Unethical Enough I don't want to work with them.
Be a good person, inside and outside of this group. If you are caught acting in an unethical manner in your daily life and what you are doing makes people worried about your ethics, or you are doing shady things, we don't want you here. Being a Violent or Sexual Predator is an automatic ban from this group.

5.
Adding more than one primary skill to the title of the post.
Adding more than one primary skill to the title of the post makes the community less focused. Pick your primary skill, and mention in your post if you have other skills, but only list one primary skill in the title of your post or it will be removed. So do not use the words 'and', 'or' etc in your title. Think of the grammar of these two sentences: Looking for a X and bunch of Y. Looking for an X. See how the second is more focused?
6.
Adding more than one primary country to the title of the post.
Adding more than one primary country to the title of the post makes the community less focused. Your primary country is the one you were born in or spend he most time in. Feel free to mention in your post if you have other immigration/residency/travel privileges, but only list one primary country in the title of your post or it will be removed.
7.
No digital currencies or NFT's.
Digital Currencies are only secure on non-quantum computing platforms so any attempt to post them here is considered malicious or ignorant. NTF's are just a scam that have the same problems compounded by the long term hosting issues of a single URL. Work on bigger, more relevant problems instead. Read https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html to learn why NFT's are a scam.
8.
No 0 years experience posts.
Applying to be a co-founder in a role you have no prior experience with is not allowed. To clarify: 1. If you have no tech experience, don't apply to be a tech founder. 2. If you have no sales experience, don't apply to be in sales. Fundamentally this is bait and switch, otherwise.
9.
No "location' in title / Founder claims "remote"
Anybody who wont disclose where they are based physically is being shady and is not welcome here. We understand that you may be working remote but you still MUST say the country/state you are in.
10.
No "years of professional experience" in title.
Anybody who refuses to disclose their years of experience is being shady and is not wanted here.
11.
Don't Insult, Roast Instead.
Roastmaster party foul. Outright insults, etc. Never insult others, but feel free to be the toastmaster and remember that you are roasting a friend, even if you only just met in that thread. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roast_(comedy) for style data.
12.
Don't post looking for work. If you have no business, don't post.
If you are a person looking of your next gig and your casually looking for work, do not post here. Only post here if you want to start a startup and you already have a business idea. Posts to find your next gig when you don't have a business plan will get you banned.
13.
13. Drug Policy - No illegal drugs allowed. All drug related posts must be legal.
No illegal drugs are to be posted in this sub. If drugs are posted about you are expected to name the state/country law that makes the drugs considered legal. If you do not do this we will instantly ban your account forever. For example: The law that makes Weed recreationally legal in WA state in the USA was I-502, after I-692 passed for medical use. Both the STATE and the bill/law MUST BE REFERENCED IN THE POST. The STATE in the title, and the law in the post itself.
14.
No Medical.
Medical Startups must have an MD with a PHD and 5 years of practice experience to be allowed to post here. Anything medical related qualifies as this. See the wiki list of additional rules for more data. This is to protect people. If you whine about it we will just ban you.
15.
No Staffing Companies.
Staffing companies are not allowed here as we find they don't provide enough value for the damage they do.
