Hi, I’m starting my second startup after my first one failed due to flaws we couldn’t fix with what we had and because my partner was basically ghosting me the entire time. I already have an idea in mind, but any startup is way harder if you don’t have someone to share the struggles and successes with; that’s why I'm looking for a partner for the second time. I would prefer if the person had even a bit of tech experience since it’s one of my weakest points. Please don’t DM me if you are not ready actually to create and take responsibility, not just disappear. Also, I’m doing it mostly for experience; if we can get money in the future, cool, if not, well, at least we have something that we actually built.

(just in case l'm soon to be 17)

I worked for a long time on my first startup. Before that, I was full of ideas, but this was the first time I actually committed to one and built something. It eventually failed, but I’m genuinely grateful for the experience.

Now I’m trying to find my second idea, and honestly, I’m stuck.

I’ve become very critical of every idea I come up with. I try to attack it from every possible angle, and so far, nothing has survived.

I really want to build something innovative because that’s what excites me most, but I’m also 16 and don’t have much experience in any particular industry. It makes me wonder how I’m supposed to identify a genuinely important problem when I haven’t experienced it myself.

Maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe here comes the art noticing? 

For those who have built startups: How did you find the idea that eventually stuck? Did it come from personal experience, talking to people, working in an industry, or simply exploring until something clicked?

Summer aproached and l think it's the perfect time to start. I want to find people, teens like me to create something. l know that there are people out there like me who really want to build something from nothing. I'm not thinking about money yet, it woud be studpid at this stage. l just want to find someone who will share my joy and ambition of wanting to create something that they are proud of, l'm not sure of what exactly l want, even though l have a few thoughts. I would really appreciate someone who would pour their hearth and soul like me into something they want to achieve. I don't care if it will be one person or a group, l just know that growng along with others is something priceless.
