I'd rather see an ugly prototype in production than a beautiful deck in inbox zero.
Natali is a New York–based engineer who left a stable product role to pursue a cofounder partnership on workflow tools for small teams. She's picky about fit: she wants a design-minded partner and a problem she's felt personally.
She builds in public on StartCoLink—posting launch updates, stack choices, and the unglamorous parts of early infrastructure. Her last side project hit 200 users before she paused it to focus on finding the right match.
She's especially interested in SaaS where the buyer and user are different people, because that's where good UX usually gets sacrificed first.
