Are you planning to make a disclosure regarding that statement, such as being co-founders with Quentin Adam, the founder of Clever Cloud, in other projects?
Stuff like this should always be disclosed. Something like "My co-founder / friend built ..." would be totally fine, but this comment looks like it intentionally obscures the connection. Not a good look.
You live in the same city. You founded a project with him. It's not like you have submitted patches to Linux from different parts of the world, without ever seeing each other.
I don't want to sound like I have something personal (I didn't even know your names until yesterday) but your assumption that the readers here on HN have no clue makes me sick.
If you know each other, that should be disclosed. I have no qualms about recommending a friend's startup, given that the friendship is disclosed.
