Edit: Looking for business side, not tech

Profitable tech company. Proven product, proven market, ability to scale. Looking for a co-founder who'll travel Europe and grow this with me — not for me. I'm done doing it alone.

​

The company: Did over €500k last yr. Profitable. Previous partner earned €120k+ last year. I bought him out. Now I need someone who will 100% commit. No half measures.

​

Aiming for €1m in 2027. Good margins.

​

What I'm looking for:

​

- 30+. Family. Mortgage. Responsibilities. You take this seriously because you have to.

- Ran your own company. Even if you failed - I'd rather someone who failed 5 times than someone who never tried. You know what it costs.

- Willing to travel Europe. Sometimes I'm with you on the trip, sometimes it's you. You're not an employee.

- Full-time. Not a side project. Not "let's see how it goes." You're in or you're not.

​

---

​

Two ways in:

​

Track A - You buy in. You've had financial success and you'll purchase shares directly from me. Money proves commitment.

​

Track B - You're a founder who failed. Your business went under. You know how to fight. You don't have the cash today but you know what this takes. I've been there. You'll vest your way in.

​

Why this is rare: Companies at this stage don't normally look for co-founders. We're past product-market fit. We have revenue. We have clients. What we don't have is a second founder who'll get on a plane and build this.

​

Why I'm doing this: I'm 36, married, two kids, built this company from nothing. The travel, the pitches, the momentum — I've been doing it alone. I'm looking for someone next to me who gets it. Not just a business partner. Someone in it.

​

Next step: DM me with:

(1) your background, (2) which track, and (3) the hardest thing you've ever built or rebuilt.

A little about me

​

I'm a multi-time founder who's raised seven figures on previous businesses.

​

I came from nothing. No education, no silver spoon.

​

I've been successful and I've failed. I've definitely failed more times than I've been successful, but, its a net positive.

​

As I said above, I'm looking for a serious founder. It might seem harsh and very strict, but I've got time. I've worked hard to build this and I'm willing to share it with the right person.

Hi All

​

I've been lucky to have done some super cool trips in the past and one thing I'm thinking to organize is a trip around the European side of Cyprus on 50cc & 125cc scooters/motorbikes.

​

We would spend our time traveling around small towns and villages resulting in a whole loop of the island.

​

- No drop ride = No one left behind, we stayed with the slowest rider.

- Tried to do the four day trip for less than €150 (excl. Hire if needed)

- Helmets, no drink driving. Etc.

​

Is there anyone here who would be interested in spending approximately four days, three nights traveling around?

I just wondered, does anybody actually achieve a 100 plus vitality score over a 7 day period?

​

If I work out six days in a week I can get a score of about 74.

​

What kind of iron men and women are achieving 100 plus?

I’ve used Ubuntu & Linux Mint for 20 years, full-time the last six.

​

I’m fed up with the locked-down environment, and the move to Wayland, and simple apps like screen recorders no longer work.

​

Linux Mint with Cinnamon feels unreliable - extensions sometimes break on boot, forcing me to mess with dconf files.

​

I’ve heard Debian is rock solid, lets me choose any desktop, and stays stable once set up. But today I tried the KDE live ISO and it seemed very buggy. Just little things like the appliction menu was flickering when R

resizing and I had to reboot the system to be able to interact with it again.

​

Has anyone made the move for the same reason? And what's your experience been?

Edit: Just to let you know I'm formatting both my laptop and my desktop. This will be my first time going for KDE. But after a small test, it looks amazing, exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi All

​

Been trying for ages to get The Profit TV Series.

​

No legal way to stream for me.

​

Willing to pay a small bounty to someone who can help me get all seasons.

​

Thanks

Hi There, I'm looking for all seasons of `The profit`.

Willing to pay a small bounty

It's only a 125...

I went to buy a new helmet today. I wanted a Sharp 5.

I got to the shop and was trying different sizes and the shop owner asked me what bike I have, I told him I only have a 125 these days, and he laughed at the type of helmet I was buying.

I'm older, I rode 600 & 1000cc bikes. I'm a third generation biker - so I brushed it off. But this would have made me feel kind of stupid when I was younger.

I came here to say to the younger (or even older people) - even a 50cc is dangerous, heck even a bicycle is dangerous.

Myself & my family members have all had bike accidents of some sort. No matter the size of the bike, they all happened because of the fault of a car and the speed was generally under 40mph - yet, one family member got epilepsy, another had broken ligaments in their shoulder and was laid up for 6 months. I've seen people hit a car that pulled out, go over the handle bars and hit a wall. Dead at 30mph.

Buy the best gear you can afford no matter what you ride. Ride your own ride. And don't listen to people who want to wave their d\*\*k around because you don't want to die or be seriously injured.

Edit: Just to add, the guy in the shop was really decent. Friendly and nice. He also gave me a great deal. I just worry about this macho behaviour which isn't really needed and pushes younger riders to take unnecessary risks.

Hello All

So, quick back story.

- Riding since 16 - 26

- Mainly Motorbikes

- Now 35, started to ride again but scooters

I didn't go crazy, got a 50cc, then upgraded to a brand new 125cc. It's slow compared to a 600 of course, but nice for the town.

---

OK, so, I am from the UK, rode those first 10 years there. Now, I live in Cyprus.

1st day with the scooter, uninsured, unlicensed driver hit me. No major damage. Was very slow speed. Bike was knocked over, all OK. Confidence shook.

Been riding it for a few weeks, 500km on the clock. Today in a residential, a car passed me about 100kmh (70mph) in a 30kmh zone, very close. I was nipping out to buy digestive biscuits - mental to think I might not have made it home if I was 15cm to the right.

---

My mindset has changed alot since I was 26.

- I've got a child with a chronic illness requiring hospitalization

- we are an international family living abroad with noone nearby

- Our income comes from my business

Now, I love riding. I always wear gloves, helmet & jacket with a back protector. I practise drills in a car park when I have time. I love nipping around the town but in terrified of leaving my wife and daughter in a mess.

I'm thinking about life insurance, at least that aspect would be solved, but, I'm not sure whether to just sell my brand new scooter and accept that part of my life is over.

---

I'm not sure what my question is, I'd just love to hear from people in a similar position and what you did.

The topic of road safety has been covered a lot here on this subreddit.

Not wanting to repeat the same thing, I'd like to ask if you would be against average speed cameras on the main highway in Cyprus.

Average speed cameras been proven to increase road safety and traffic flow.

View Poll

I recently picked up my Sym Jet X.

I'm very happy, I wanted a 125 because of the size and weight. Overall, it's a great scooter.

It's more or less my first ever scooter. I've been riding bikes for many years. One of the things I'm a little bit disappointed in is the top end speed. I was hoping to get 115 - 120 kmh.

One of the things I've been told helps is getting a performance variator. Apparently that will get me up to about 115 kilometres an hour and improve acceleration.

Has anyone had any experience with this? And is there any variator you would recommend?
