I went into car accident but helped to find a partner for a productivity startup

Ilya Novohatskyi

Hey guys.

Today, I’ll share some shitty and pretty things that happened to me. I helped one person find a co-founder for his startup, wrote a post about marketplaces to buy and sell online businesses, and other sections that you already know :)

Last week, somebody scratched my car, they left the place of the accident, but I managed to take a photo of the violator’s car. I immediately called the police. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived, wrote down all of the information, and in 30 minutes found a guilty guy. They returned him, and he compensated for repairs.

I’m glad Ukraine has changed, and the police are working more efficiently for their civilians. I invite every person who helped Ukraine after the war to Kyiv.

Yesterday, I read one exciting newsletter from the founder who is writing about startup trends and ideas. I want to share it with you because many of you ask me about what they can build and sell on Microns. Read Jakob’s newsletter first. This guy gives intriguing insights about things you can create pretty quickly.

P.S. I’m grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine in this challenging time 🇺🇦

🧶 New blog post

I finally started working on the blog this month and created a new article. I analyzed the most popular acquisition platforms and compared them to Microns. It helped me understand and highlight the most significant differences. After reading, you’ll understand what works best for what type of projects.

Last week I received an email from one person. Saying that he managed to find a partner for his project through Microns.

Trevor said he wanted to thank me and send some money. Finding the right co-founder for him was a complex and long journey. I was shocked because the email that I sent was six months ago. Anyway, it was an adorable and great feeling.

Payment from Trevor

“When I met Matt, his email tagline was “challenging people so they can live with intent” so I knew our vision was aligned.”, said Trevor Lohrbeer. “I had created a 6-step process and a landing page for finding the right co-founder. I spoke with over 20 candidates, and Matt stood out as the clear winner. After five months of working with Matt, I knew he would be a great fit for the role and vision of the company.”
