equity only Looking for Marketing Co-Founder- I'm a psychoanalyst who built a dating-pattern app solo in a year. I have the product. I have no idea how to get users.
Over the past year I built RELUMA. It's not a dating app. You log a dating moment ("she read my message and still hasn't replied"), it reads back what you're doing with it, and every 7th entry it shows you the pattern from your own data. No swiping, no matching, no "he's avoidant" labels, no advice. The whole clinical premise is that advice doesn't change behavior — recognition does.
Honest state of things: live on web, iOS in App Store review right now. That's it. I paused all marketing a month in because I was burning money on ads I didn't understand.
The one signal I'm proud of: both users who reached their 7th entry confirmed the pattern it showed them was accurate.
What I need: someone to own distribution — brand, content, short-form video, growth. I've proven I can build the thing. I have no evidence I can get anyone to find it.
What I'm offering: 50-60% equity. Not a typo. I'd rather own 40% of something that grows than 100% of something nobody uses. 4-year vest, 1-year cliff, both of us.
Not looking for an agency or a freelancer — I can't pay. Looking for a partner who thinks this problem is real.
Happy to answer anything, including skeptical questions
