Starting a startup. Tips?

I am super fascinated by the startup world and worked in one before. Now I want to start one of my own but don't have an idea and don't know where to find a partner. Any tips?

YCombinator has a start up match system that allows you , similar to a dating app, swipe through individuals and connect based on shared interests and backgrounds (i.e. if you need someone with a programming background).

I'm trying to launch a small business soon as well. Wouldnt classify mine as a start up because the potential to scale isn't there, but hope to replace current income eventually. Good luck bro!

 

Not trying to be mean or anything. But if you are offering a tangible product. Asia will do it for a quarter of the cost in case the new hirings won’t except 80% stock pay.

 

If you don’t have an idea, you have no business. But, for the time being I think global Supply Chain Management needs improvement and you could try to pick an area like that and start doing research on how to innovate in that space.
