  So I think it would be cool if YC had a public bulletin board. Creators on one side. Skilled help on the other. Maybe YC could reach out to Colleges and LinkedIn Startup looking for a person with this experience to become a cofounder.

  In my case. I do have products that strangers will buy at a 400% and greater markup. That solve real problems that my competitors have not and have but not adequately.

  Top Flight Golf can be 100x better. Plan Grid sold for $875million.

  In 2006 Lennar said they could force all of their subcontractors to buy my products and install them into all of their new homes. I also had something similar to plan grid back then.

  A lot of my products take the hassle out of life.

  I just need a non creative co founder. You rely on me to create products people want to buy! I rely on you to run the day to day operations.

  I live in the USA I am willing to relocate to almost anywhere in the USA and maybe Canada for the right partner.

  If had VC funding. I’d be willing to relocate to almost anywhere in the world except non Christian Countries. And not Russia and not Ukraine

  What I wish YC would do is create a Creative Cofounder seeks Non Creative Cofounders. Creators like me post an ad. I invent. My products solve problems that almost everyone on planet earth has. Strangers offer to pay a lot more than competitors. I need Biz Mgr to run co. I create. U run day to day. Maybe we crowd fund to profitably. Then apply to YC to scale.

  The problem I had with trying to partner with another YC Co Founder is that they were Creators with their own dreams. It’s help me with my dream. And I will help you with yours.

  Since the beginning of time. Startup posts sign on window or in paper. Help Wanted.

  Strangers walk through the door and say I’d like to apply for the job!

  Business says these are the requirements.
