Looking for startups to co-market with and guest blogging exchange
I’d love to explore swapping audiences to talk about each other’s startups and the problems we’re each solving as a way to boost visibility
We have a blog with 200 weekly readers and could feature your startup if you did the same for us.
I think there is a lot of potential in tapping into each other’s audiences through a friendly exchange set up.

Hi, I would love to help out. I am trying to start my own business and would love to support at any point in your journey!
I love this idea! It's a great way for early-stage founders to grow their audience. My project, ResQ Mesh, is still in the early stages, but I'm definitely interested in learning more about this. What kind of content do you typically feature on your blog?
usually anything related to product led growth motion or AI but I'm thinking with this I could do a startup sptolight even if not in the same space or talk about the problem + your startup but also open to any ideas. Feel free to add me on linkedin and we can DM and chat more: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marieliesse-gouilliard-24a160175/
Hey Marieliesse! This sounds amazing, great for link building too. Saw that you're building on Posthog, I've used Posthog and I really like what you're solving here.
Right now I'm building a co-pilot for founder-led sales, I'm also a designer and have built many many onboarding flows, getting users to that aha moment. Would be interested in swapping blogs. Sent a connection request on LI :)
Hi - thank you for reaching out. You're experience seems super in line with the problem we're tackling. Would also love to hear more about what you're working on.
I run a software development agency that partners with founders to help them build MVP's and secure venture capital funding. We also run a podcast for tech founders and I have a blog on LinkedIn with 600+ subscribers, I'd love to connect.
Hey marieliessegd00,
This is a great, classic indie hacker growth strategy. Building leverage through partnerships is so much more effective than just shouting into the void on social media.
It also brings up an interesting challenge that many founders face: how do you make partnership outreach a scalable, repeatable system instead of just a series of one-off manual tasks?
I've been thinking about this in terms of building an automated 'Partnership Engine,' run by a few specialized digital agents:
A 'Prospecting Agent': This agent's only job is to constantly find potential partners. It would monitor sources like product directories, podcast guest lists, and even other guest blogs in your niche to identify non-competing startups that serve a similar audience.
An 'Outreach Agent': Once a potential partner is found, this agent would enrich the data (find the right contact person's email) and then send out a personalized initial outreach email proposing a co-marketing collaboration. It could test different value propositions at scale.
A 'Content Coordination Agent': When a partner agrees to a guest post exchange, this agent could manage the workflow. It could automatically send them your guest post guidelines, create a shared document for the draft, and set calendar reminders for follow-ups and publishing deadlines.
Building an engine like this turns a time-consuming manual process into a predictable, scalable machine. It allows a single founder to manage dozens of co-marketing relationships simultaneously without dropping the ball.
It's just a thought on taking the smart idea you have and building a system around it for the long term. Great initiative, and I hope you find some awesome partners!
^^ this is a super useful idea. I'd be open to A/B testing this
Awesome, that's the spirit! It's a powerful way to turn a manual, time-consuming task into a scalable system.
Best of luck with your A/B testing!
