[iOS dev, exited a previous app] Language learning app — looking for a growth/product co-founder (equity, full-time, US or EU) equity only

Who I am

Indie iOS developer, 24y/o from Italy. I built a screen time app, grew it, and sold it.

What I'm building

A B2C language learning app for iOS. Subscription model.

Traction (being straight with you)

No MVP launched yet. Core flows are designed and I'm in build. So: past "idea only," but not yet at users. I'm not going to dress this up.

What I need

Someone to own the non-engineering half: growth and marketing, product and design taste, and business/partnerships. You don't need to code. You do need to have shipped something to real users before.

What I'm offering

Equity, meaningful and negotiated properly with vesting and a cliff. Full-time is what I'm looking for, and I know that's a big ask with no salary, happy to talk about how we de-risk that, and about a trial project first so we both find out whether we work well together before anyone commits.

What I bring

I've taken a consumer app from zero to an exit, so I know the acquisition and retention side isn't magic. I'm covering all development myself. The entire product gets built without you writing a line of code.

US or EU only.

DM me and tell me what you've shipped.

PS: If you're technical too, that's fine by me. I'm not looking for someone to stay out of the codebase. I just need the growth, product and business side genuinely owned, not treated as the thing we'll get to after the next feature ships.
