Looking for a Non technical Co founder or Technical Role at a startup

Hi everyone,
I'm Vishwas from India a "full stack software developer".

From past 8 months I've been trying to run my own tech solutions & automation agency for small American & Indian business. But facing challenges getting clients that are interested in getting prepared for the future and reduce deskwork in customer experience, marketing & sales, dues to limited funds I was unable to utilizes the right tools to get high quality leads and clients and automate some work thus I have to do build everything myself and try to run with whatever I'm able to.

One example of that is I couldn't afford Lemlist (to get quality leads from social media platforms where my ICP hang out then send them personalized emails through campaigns) and a SSL and DNS verified domain to make sure emails don't land in spam or at least reduce the chances of it thus I have to use free tools to scrape small business data from Bing maps (though it's low quality but I had no choice) and I create my own python script to send personalized emails by reading recipients data from a csv file and send 500 emails form my own person Gmail account and obviously most of them land in spam (even though I slowly increase the number of emails sent daily from 10 to 50 to 100 and so on) because it was my personal Gmail is not a business email and not SSL and DSN Varified.

these 8 months have been really tough and stressful for me as I'm the only one doing everything from outreach to sales to development and all the while my funds slowly starts to disappear to the point that now I'm struggling soo much financially that it's became extremely hard to even sustain myself But even in these moments I am not begging for money, I am just begging for a developer/marketer/sales job at your startup, company or whatever, I'm willing to work for just $5 an hour. If you are a business owner I can build you anything, website, custom tool, backend literally anything just give me a chance.

If interested please contact me on LinkedIn or Twitter links will be in my bio

Btw sorry for being spammy, But I am desperate, again sorry.

    Hey Vishwas,

    I just read your post, and man, it hit home. I’m in a similar fight — been building my own project solo for months, pushing through exhaustion and money problems, just trying to create something real.

    I’m the founder of a social challenge app called MimicMe. I’ve built everything myself — backend, Firebase, video feed, challenges — all from scratch. The app is working, but like you, I’ve reached that point where doing it all alone starts killing momentum.

    I don’t have funds right now, so I can’t offer a salary. But what I can offer is a real seat at the table — not a gig, a partnership.

    If you ever wanted to build something meaningful, with someone who’s as serious and obsessed as you, I think we might click.

    I’m based in Canada, but remote’s totally fine. We could start small — collaborate on one feature, see if our chemistry works, and if it does, you’d have an official role in MimicMe.

    If this resonates with you, let’s talk.

    Your honesty about the struggle is brave and I really respect that. The past eight months sound incredibly tough, but the fact that you're still building and pushing forward says a lot about your resilience. I hope someone in the community can connect you with an opportunity - your technical skills are clear and any startup would be lucky to have someone with your determination on their team.
