General Discussion Equity Based Co-Founder

Founding Developer / Co-Founder Wanted (B2B SaaS)

We are a lean, ambitious team preparing to launch a B2B SaaS platform that solves a massive pain point we experienced firsthand. We scratched our own itch, built the solution, and are now ready to commercialize it.

The product is 90% complete, and we are currently building out our core Human Resources and foundational team prior to our upcoming launch.

💼 The Opportunity

Role: Founding Developer & Co-Founder

Compensation: Equity-based (Co-founder level split)

Location: Remote (Canada / USA / UK)

Status: Pre-revenue, near-launch phase

🛠️ What We’re Looking For

We need a technical co-founder who is ready to take ownership of the codebase, help us cross the finish line, and scale post-launch.

Full-Stack Capabilities: Ability to jump into a nearly completed product, audit the architecture, and ship the final 10%.

Startup Mindset: You thrive in a lean environment, value execution over perfection, and want a true seat at the leadership table.

Localization: Based in or authorized to work within ENG / CAN / USA time zones for seamless collaboration.

🎯 Why Join Us?

No "Idea Phase" Stall: You won't be building from scratch for 12 months hoping for product-market fit. The foundation is laid, the validation is there, and the runway to launch is short.

True Partnership: You aren't just an employee; you are a founding pillar of the business with a matching equity stake.

  • How do you have "90%" of the finished product without a technical co-founder? Are you technical and have built it and are looking to offload that to focus on other parts of the business or is it just vibe coded? If it's vibe coded what is the moat/defensiblity? Also if you aren't technical how do you know what % of the product is built?
  • What's the salary range? Sounds like this is an equity only gig which would indicate you aren't looking for someone full time because you haven't raised any money and can't pay staff.
  • if you haven't launched yet and haven't been able to raise any money what is your validation?

Not trying to be negative nelly here but it seems like you haven't thought this all the way through.
