Apply with Me to YC W24 in the Next 100 Days and Build the OnlyFans of Trading
As a non-technical founder I'm on the lookout for a passionate and driven individual who is all about engineering and design. I believe in a no-nonsense approach and value someone who doesn't require constant management. I appreciate honesty and clear communication about the expectations of hard work. I want to work with someone who is all about shipping code, someone who can make quick and informed decisions, iterate rapidly, and isn't interested in wasting time on unnecessary meetings or impressing journalists or VCs. Ultimately, I'm seeking a like-minded individual who just wants to roll up their sleeves and build a remarkable product together.
So, what is the idea?

Think of Patreon but for Trading. A membership platform for users to discover and subscribe to verified top-performing traders. By following these traders, users can gain valuable insights into the markets, discover new trading strategies, and potentially profit from these trades.

A bit about me:

I recently had an eye-opening experience as the moderator of a crypto signals group on Discord. This group had a staggering 8,000+ paying members, all following the trades of a self-proclaimed trading expert who promised successful returns. However, the reality was quite different, with most of their trades losing money. This firsthand exposure to the world of social trading and its pitfalls has given me a unique insight into the challenges and opportunities that lie within this space.

But here's the twist: My expertise lies in not having expertise. I readily admit that I don't possess extensive knowledge of trading, financial markets, or sophisticated investment strategies. And you know what? That's actually an advantage. Why? Because I'm building this startup for people like myself — individuals who may lack the knowledge or experience to make well-informed trading decisions. I understand the struggles, and I'm determined to create a platform that empowers traders of all skill levels to succeed.

So, what will the solution be?

I've identified a unique way to verify the success of traders before users join their paid community. I believe in transparency and want to ensure that our users have access to top-performing traders who can provide valuable insights and strategies. With this innovative approach, we'll empower our users to make informed decisions about who they follow and engage with.
