I'm going to finally try to start my own company. Will it be a "startup"? I don't know. But it will be technical and it will go from 0-1 (or from 0-0).

After years of lurking here, watching on the sidelines, working for larger companies, having kids, buying a house, I'm finally going to take the dive. I'm excited, nervous, lost, all at the same time. But I have enough savings and an accommodating spouse, so I don't have to work for a while.

I'm a long-time academic, turned ML-practitioner. I have no major online presence. I don't have a brand. But if anyone is interested in talking, DM me, I have lots of time and am still in the divergent phase of entrepreneurship.

Edit: Added email address to profile. Excuse the confusion, I have been a lurker too long.

There is no way to DM on HN, as far as I am aware. I would be interested in talking - I have some Ml/NLP based ideas and some free time... See my profile info for my website/email

Sorry, been a lurker too long. Added my email address to my profile. Also shot you an email to connect.

you can reach me at my username@gmail. i just retired 2 months ago from a 25 year engineering stint starting in cyber and ending as a level 5 ML engineer/data plumber. we may be too well aligned though. i have no major expectations but would love a cool project and good folks to work with. money is second to that.

Good luck, the earlier you get into action the better.

DM you how? What's your twitter handle?

Meh guys, it took 5 minutes just out of curiosity: https://github.com/thewopr

Actually, that's not my profile. My username doesn't align on github. My github profile is

github.com/lawinslow

I judged by the timeline and mention of AI project among the stars... :)

As I mentioned, long-time lurker. Added my email address in my profile.
