I've been building solo and got my product to around $400 MRR purely through cold calling and word of mouth. Proud of that, but I've hit the classic solo founder wall: Im pretty good at product / development, but I'm not the guy for distribution, UGC, content, or sales and that's clearly where the growth is for what I'm building. I cant just keep growing it cold calling, its extremely time intensive. It's in edu / humanizer space.

So I'm weighing my options and leaning toward bringing on a growth-focused partner rather than staying solo. Thinking meaningful equity (10–25% depending on commitment) plus a cut of monthly revenue from day one, so it's not just paper promises.

Two things:

1. If you've partnered up after starting solo, how did it go? Anything you'd do differently on structure or equity?
2. If you're a marketer/UGC operator/sales person lurking here and this sounds interesting, LMK.
