Get a Technical Co-Founder Without the Search

Honest answer: I've been burned by founders who weren't serious. A small commitment fee filters out tire-kickers and ensures you have skin in the game, and it covers my operating costs during the 2-3 month build. The rest of my compensation comes from a small percentage of your product's revenue, capped at a fixed amount — once repaid, it ends automatically. You pay far less upfront than hiring an agency or CTO, you keep 100% ownership, and I only get fully paid when your product earns. The exact terms depend on your project scope — let's discuss on a call.

My payment is tied to your product earning — the capped revenue share only pays out as your product grows, so walking away means not getting paid. In select equity partnerships, 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff applies for the same reason. Plus, I only take on 2-3 partnerships at a time - I'm genuinely invested in each one succeeding. Check my case studies - these are real, ongoing relationships.

Pivots are normal - I expect them. My architecture choices are designed to be flexible. As your co-founder, I'm committed to finding product-market fit with you, not just building the first idea. Many successful startups pivoted multiple times.

Our agreement includes clear terms for separation. You retain full rights to the code and product, with IP transferring as fees are paid. Any remaining revenue-share terms are clearly documented, and where equity is involved, unvested equity is forfeited. I provide documentation and transition support. It's structured like any standard partnership agreement.

Yes! If you already have developers, I can come in as CTO/technical lead. I'll guide architecture, review code, and ensure we're building for scale. Many partnerships evolve this way as the company grows.

I look for: (1) A founder who can articulate a clear problem and vision, (2) Complementary skills - you bring what I don't have, (3) Validated idea or strong domain expertise, (4) Founder commitment - this is your full-time focus, (5) Market opportunity in B2B/enterprise (my sweet spot).

Then a straightforward paid engagement may be your best value — or a hybrid with more cash and a smaller (or no) revenue share. This is great for seed-stage startups who have some runway but want to conserve cash. Let's discuss what makes sense for your situation.
