Hello everyone, I just stumbled across this subreddit.

I have two ventures which I started in mid-2025:
- Symphonee AI
- Scale Tiny

The most successful product so far in terms of revenue and user acquisition is Polls Exporter for WhatsApp Web (launched via Scale Tiny) with ~900 users and growing at a rate of~200 new users a month. I currently use it to also drive users to my other products. The next product launch will be the Symphonee platform, which is where I need the most support.

You can learn more about me and my experience on my website: https://keving.me

I have things I want to build next, but what I’m looking for is someone to help me grow what I’ve already built. I have significant professional experience building software, managing technical programs, and leading engineering and cross-functional teams. My website includes links to all my social profiles so you can validate whatever you’d like.

If you can help with growth and distribution, please get in touch. As you’d be joining me to grow already established products, I would prefer cofounders who can bring capital to the table.

Does this reflect other people's experience too?

I just had to cancel work from a seller because they didn't understand at all what I was asking them to do. Like, they didn't even TRY to understand. We had a whole conversation before the order, I explained exactly how I would judge the quality, and then when it came time to deliver they were totally blindsided that the delivery wasn't what was expected.

The seller immediately became unprofessional. As soon as the order was placed, communication quality plummeted. I wish I could share the exchanges. At one point, when I pointed out the discrepancies in the offer description and delivery, the seller literally told me I should "not be too hasty" and that while their offer was inaccurate now, "maybe in 10 years" (seriously!) things could change.

I obviously informed the seller that most buyers, including myself, were not basing our purchase on any such potential...

Needless to say, the seller very quickly became irate once I expressed that I was not going to let the discrepancies slide... I was actually quite surprised! When I used Fiverr regularly many years ago, myself and other sellers tried to be professional on the platform. The seller I met today was neither afraid of looking unprofessional nor of Fiverr and was not concerned in the least with being reported. At one point the seller directly threatened to try to harm my business.

What was especially baffling was when I pointed out the discrepancies between what the seller themselves offered and what they delivered, they actually acknowledged it. They understood that they were in no position to deliver what they offered or what I requested. But the seller did not see this as a problem... the best way I can describe their reaction would be to liken it to a "ha ha, I got you" moment, where I was at fault for effectively falling for the offer by not contesting their delivery from the get go or validating their gig's claims before ordering.

Mind you, this was meant to be a straightforward $100 order, which myself and the seller agreed to first trial via a $20 order. In both cases their was an objective, measurable outcome. And yet, not only did the seller not deliver on the outcome, but they totally ignored it and had no interest in even entertaining the idea of delivering what I asked for. I did not continue working with the seller after the $20 trial.

Is this just how the platform is now?
