Working on the side project is usually the best way to find a co-founder. This got me thinking, which of the most successful startups actually began as side projects…Maybe it’s worth to mention as a story in this website to inspire visitors.

Totally. During the last year of working in this space ive come to think everything starts on the side, either for five minutes while you think about it or for fifteen years as a "by definition" SideProject (one thats not meant to become anything else). Yeah ill have to share more stories like that. We also have some examples already of people meeting here and then starting stuff, so those examples are awesome as well. Im also thinking i need a marketing strategy, ive considered nerding on my SideProject wizard alterego and making content where he inspires to make things. Like i did here: https://youtu.be/K6aC6vFkiG4?si=b53SYSX8HRST4yTt
