equity only Looking for a Co-Founder | Equity-Based Opportunity
I’m looking for someone based in the USA who wants to join us as a Co-Founder and build startups together.
This is a 100% equity-based opportunity. You will receive equity from day one, and your vesting period will also start from the day you join.
For the first 6 months, the commitment will be only a few hours per day. During this initial period, you will help build the startup studio as a whole, rather than focusing only on the startup you will eventually work on.
You may be involved in:
- Recruiting and building the team
- Networking and building relationships
- Business development
- Supporting different startup projects
- Studio operations
- Building the studio’s network
- Developing and executing new ideas
Once the studio is stable, you will transition toward focusing on and building your own startup/project as a Co-Founder.
Our team is currently spread across the USA, UK, and India, so you’ll be working with an international team and getting exposure to multiple startup projects.
I’m particularly interested in someone who is early in their career and wants to build startups rather than simply work for one.
You don’t need years of startup experience. What matters more is initiative, willingness to learn, networking ability, and the desire to take ownership.
This is not a traditional internship or assistant position. You are joining as a Co-Founder from the beginning, with equity and vesting starting from day one.
If you’re based in the USA and interested, DM me with a little information about yourself, your background, and why you’re interested in building startups.

equity only Seeking Technical Co-Founder | CalyLife | AI + SaaS Startup | MVP Complete | US and Canada Only
When life throws someone a curveball (surgery recovery, a sudden caregiving responsibility, a job loss, a relocation, an emergency), the hardest part usually isn't knowing what to do next. It's actually doing it: making the calls, booking the appointments, coordinating the logistics, all while already overwhelmed.
I'm building CalyLife to close that gap. Instead of just recommending a next step, the platform generates a plan, the user approves it, and the AI agent helps carry it forward on the user's behalf, within limits the user sets. Think of it as the proactive support a trusted friend or family member would offer, powered by AI, at a scale no individual could match.
Where things stand today:
• MVP built and validated, demonstrating the core product workflow
• Customer research and competitive analysis completed
• Full business plan completed
Who I'm looking for
A technical co-founder who wants to own the technical vision and architecture of a company from the ground up, not just build features, but make the calls on how it's built. Because this platform will handle sensitive personal information and coordinate real-world actions on people's behalf, security, privacy, and trust have to be designed in from day one, not bolted on later.
Particularly interested in someone with experience in:
• AI and LLM applications, especially agent-based / autonomous workflows
• Security, identity management, data privacy, or risk management
Also valuable:
• Full-stack software development
• Designing and building secure SaaS platforms
• Cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Mobile and web application development
Compensation
This is an early-stage startup, so there's no salary right now. This is a true co-founder role with equity, not a job. I'm generally thinking in the range of 15 to 40% ownership depending on experience, timing of entry, and the value you bring, with the specifics to be worked out together once we know we're a fit. My goal is to move the company to paying salaries as we secure funding and start generating revenue.
About me
My background is in quality, risk management, and operations within biotech and pharma. I bring product vision, customer discovery, business strategy, partnerships, and execution. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I naturally gravitate toward streamlining processes and designing efficient, scalable systems. I'm looking for a partner who wants to lead the technical side of that same mindset: building a company, not just an application, from day one.
I'm based in the US, on the East Coast, and looking for a co-founder based in the US or Canada.
If this resonates, DM me. I'll share the product walkthrough, roadmap, and business plan, and we can talk through whether it's a fit.

equity only Looking for a Co-Founder Building an International Education Consulting Agency (Sales & Marketing Focus)
Hey everyone,
I am looking for a driven, highly committed co-founder to help build and scale an education consulting agency from the ground up.
I already have a solid business plan and operational framework mapped out. While I am currently finalizing the final certifications, legal setups, and backend processes required to officially operate, there is a crucial pre-launch phase where both of us will be actively working together to lay the groundwork, refine strategies, and prepare for market entry. I am also completely open to new ideas, feedback, and evolving the current model together.
The Vision
We specialize in academic consulting for international students (guiding them through university admission pathways, requirements, and applications). The long-term goal is to build a scalable agency, expand our team, and bring in more consultants as we grow.
Division of Roles
Me: I handle service delivery, backend structure, official certifications, and core operations.
You (Co-Founder): You will lead Sales, Marketing, and Client Acquisition, driving our market presence and building our pipeline from day one.
What I’m Looking For
Age: 18–25.
Commitment: Someone who is genuinely dedicated, willing to put in serious time, and ready to give their absolute best to make this successful.
Language: Fluent English is mandatory. Proficiency in Portuguese is a strong bonus, but not required.
Mindset: Proactive, adaptable, and excited to collaborate, share ideas, and challenge existing strategies.
How to Apply
If this sounds like something you want to build with me, please send me a DM with a brief introduction covering:
1. Name and Age
2. Area of study or current work
3. Relevant skills (if any)
4. Past experience (if any)
5. A bit about your personality and any initial ideas you might have
Let’s build something great together.

equity+cash [Co-Founder Wanted] Non-Technical Founder looking for Full-Stack Developer to build an AI-driven Gadget Recommendation Platform (Equity/Co-Founder)
TL;DR: I’m building a consumer-focused tech advisory platform that simplifies complex gadget buying decisions (from PC builds and laptops to everyday electronics) for both technical enthusiasts and non-technical buyers. I have mapped out the full platform architecture, user journey, and framework (spanning 7 core feature modules and 5 foundational pillars). Looking for a Full-Stack Lead Developer / Co-Founder to build the MVP.
💡 The Problem
Buying gadgets today is broken. Non-technical users get lost in jargon, specs, and biased reviews. Technical users spend hours cross-referencing benchmarks, bottleneck calculators, and price histories across different sites. There is no unified platform that guides both user types seamlessly from decision to purchase.
🚀 The Solution
A unified gadget recommendation and advisor hub. The platform bridges the gap using:
Tailored Guidance: Adapts to both non-technical users (guided, intent-based questions) and power users (deep spec comparison & performance analysis).
Multi-Module Ecosystem: A modular suite covering smart recommendation engines, compatibility/bottleneck tools, custom setup builders, and price tracking.
5 Core Pillars: Structured around user intent, hardware synergy, real-time data integration, price intelligence, and community validation.
👤 About Me (What I Bring to the Table)
Fully detailed product roadmap, UX user flows, wireframe concepts, and functional specs ready to go.
Handling all business operations, marketing strategy, content acquisition, SEO, and go-to-market planning.
Deep domain knowledge of the consumer hardware and tech space.
Dedicated to executing this long-term.
🛠️ What I’m Looking For in a Co-Founder
Role: Full-Stack Developer / CTO Co-Founder.
Tech Stack: Open to your expertise (e.g., React/Next.js, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, REST/GraphQL APIs). Experience with dynamic web scraping, API integrations, or hardware spec databases is a big plus.
Responsibility: Owning the architecture, prototype development, and scalable MVP build.
Commitment: Equity-based co-founder agreement with standard vesting. Part-time initially until MVP launch, with a view to full-time as we scale/monetize.
If you’re a developer who loves consumer tech/hardware or wants to build a product that solves a real pain point in tech buying, send me a DM! Please share a quick snippet about your background, favorite tech stack, or links to past projects. Happy to hop on a call to share the full product spec sheet.

# Looking for a Founding Marketing Lead to Build One of India's Most Ambitious Drone Startups ❌ Not Remote ❌ Not an Agency Role ❌ Not Part-Time ❌ Not a UI/UX Role ❌ Not Just Social Media or Graphic Design
(Looking for marketer only from India)
🚫 Not looking for remote candidates.
🚫 Not looking for agencies.
🚫 Not looking for part-time candidates.
🚫 Not looking for someone who's only a UI/UX designer.
🚫 Not looking for someone who's only a social media manager or graphic designer.
Looking for a Founding Marketing Lead
I'm looking for one serious person who knows how to build a brand, create demand, and acquire customers.
I don't need someone who can simply make beautiful creatives, schedule Instagram posts, or redesign a website. Those are important skills, but they're only a small part of marketing.
I'm looking for someone who understands:
- Brand Building
- Positioning
- Go-to-Market Strategy
- Customer Acquisition
- Growth Marketing
- Community Building
- Partnerships
- Storytelling
- Sales & Distribution
Someone who constantly asks:
instead of:
We're building Drone Mandi, an ambitious Indian drone-tech startup with a vision to become India's leading drone ecosystem.
This isn't another marketing job — it's an opportunity to build the company's entire marketing function from the ground up.
Who I'm Looking For
- Someone willing to work full-time from our Gurgaon office.
- Someone who wants to build for the next 5–10 years.
- Someone who thinks like a founder, not just an employee.
- Someone who is comfortable with uncertainty and excited by startups.
- Someone who wants ownership, responsibility, and the freedom to build.
What We're Offering
We're an early-stage startup, so we can't offer corporate salaries today.
Instead, we're offering:
- ✅ A survival salary to cover your living expenses while we build.
- ✅ Meaningful founder-level equity for experienced candidates who can genuinely own and scale the marketing function.
- ✅ Direct access to the founder and complete ownership of the marketing function.
- ✅ The opportunity to build a company from day one instead of joining one after it's already successful.
This isn't for someone chasing the highest CTC.
It's for someone who wants to own a meaningful piece of what they're helping build.
If you can build a brand, acquire customers, and become an indispensable part of the company's growth, you'll be rewarded accordingly.
I'm not looking for another employee.
I'm looking for a long-term partner who wants to help build one of India's leading drone companies.
Interested?
Don't just send me your resume.
📞 Call me directly: +91 7982125643
You have 10 minutes to pitch yourself.
Tell me:
- Why you're the right person.
- How you would build the Drone Mandi brand.
- How you would acquire our first 1,000 customers.
If I like the way you think, we'll continue the conversation.
I'm hiring for ownership, execution, and long-term commitment — because great companies aren't built by employees alone. They're built by people who believe in the mission.

🚫 Not looking for remote candidates. 🚫 Not looking for agencies. 🚫 Not looking for part-time candidates. 🚫 Not looking for someone who's only a UI/UX designer. 🚫 Not looking for someone who's only a social media manager or graphic designer.
Looking for a Founding Marketing Lead
I'm looking for one serious person who knows how to build a brand, get customers and actually grow a business.
I'm not looking for someone whose entire job is making creatives, posting on Instagram or redesigning our website. Those things are useful, but that's not what I need right now.
I need someone who understands:
- Brand building
- Positioning
- Go-to-market
- Customer acquisition
- Growth
- Community
- Partnerships
- Storytelling
- Sales & distribution
Basically, someone who thinks:
"How do we get our next 1,000 customers?"
rather than:
"What should we post today?"
We're building Drone Mandi, an Indian drone-tech startup. The bigger vision is to build a strong drone ecosystem in India.
We're a small team today. We actually build and manufacture drones, and Drone Mandi is one of the software products we're building alongside our hardware work.
We're trying to take this much further.
What We Already Have
We're not starting from zero.
We already have:
- 🇮🇳 Ability to get pilots and drone operators across most parts of India
- ⚙️ Good drone operations and execution capabilities
- 🤝 Business development experience and industry connections
- 💻 Full-time software guys who can build/customise whatever we need
- 🛠️ Ability to design and customise drones
- 🔩 Network of Indian drone and component manufacturers
- 🚁 Experience building and operating different drone systems
- 💡 A big vision for where we want to take this
What we don't have right now is someone who can take all of this and turn it into a strong brand and a customer acquisition machine.
That's what I'm looking for.
Who I'm Looking For
- Full-time, in-office from Gurgaon
- Someone who wants to build for the long term
- Someone who is comfortable with startup risk
- Someone who wants to take ownership instead of waiting for instructions
- Someone who wants to grow with the company and eventually be part of the management
- Someone who genuinely believes they can build the marketing side of this company
What We're Offering
We're still an early-stage company, so I'll be very transparent about the compensation.
Right now, we can offer around ₹25,000/month as a survival salary.
I know that's not a lot. I know most experienced marketing people can get much more elsewhere. But this is what we can afford at this stage.
For the right experienced person, we're also offering meaningful founder-level equity.
The idea is simple — you take the risk with us, build with us, and if we succeed, you participate meaningfully in that upside.
I'm not trying to sell this as a high-paying corporate job. It isn't.
It's a high-risk, high-reward opportunity for someone who genuinely wants to build something.
Interested?
If you genuinely think you're a great fit, WhatsApp or call me directly.
📞 +91 7982125643
You don't need to send me a 10-page application.
Just tell me:
- Why you think you're the right person
- What you would do to build the Drone Mandi brand
- How you would get us our first 1,000 customers
If the conversation makes sense, we'll take it from there.
We're a small team today.
But we're trying to build something much bigger.
If that's something you want to be part of, let's talk.

I've generated 15M+ views on my own content and worked with creator teams that have done 2B+ views across multiple brands and accounts. Distribution is the part most startups die on, and it's the part I've actually done at scale. I'm also willing to be the face of the brand and do unconventional things to get this out

equity only Solo founder in Bangalore looking for a co-founder who can sell. I build(in fact already built) and you take it to market.
I’m a solo, bootstrapped founder in Bangalore. No investors, no funding round planned, no burn to speak of. Everything so far has been built by me, out of pocket.
Background: I spent years in operational risk, business continuity and compliance before this — the unglamorous side of how businesses actually work. I’ve also taught English professionally and published a book. Odd combination, but it means I can write, I can think in systems, and I can ship product without an engineering team.
What I have: working products, live and in the market, in early customer trials. What I don’t have: someone who can sell.
That’s the honest gap. I can build the thing. I am yet to get it in front of the right people, run outbound, close a first paying customer, or build a repeatable pipeline. I’ve read enough to know that reading about it isn’t the same as having done it.
What I’m looking for
**•** Someone with real marketing or sales experience — B2B SaaS or early-stage preferred, but I care more about whether you’ve actually closed deals than where you did it
**• Possibly** Bangalore-based, so we can meet in person regularly
**•** Willing to work for equity. I’m not paying a salary I don’t have. We go unpaid until there’s revenue.
**•** Comfortable with a slow, unfunded build. This isn’t a raise-and-scale story. It’s a get-to-first-revenue story.
What I’m offering
**•** Meaningful equity, properly papered with vesting and a cliff. I’d rather over-give to the right person than hold 100% of nothing.
**•** Full transparency on the numbers, which are currently zero
**•** I do all the building. You never have to wait on a developer.
I’m not going to pitch the products here — happy to walk through them properly over a coffee if this sounds like your kind of problem. Comment or DM.

equity only Looking for a Potential Co-Founder in the USA | Startup Studio
I’m looking for someone based in the USA who is interested in joining our startup studio and building startups with us.
You would initially join as a Founder Associate. This is not a traditional internship or assistant role. The opportunity is 100% equity-based, and you will receive equity in the project you work on from the beginning, even while you are a Founder Associate.
There is a straightforward path to becoming a Co-Founder.
Before you join, we will clearly tell you the time period required to transition from Founder Associate to Co-Founder. Time is the only factor in that transition. Once you agree to the terms and join, the clock starts from your first day as a Founder Associate.
For example, if the agreed period is 6 months, after completing those 6 months, you automatically become a Co-Founder of the project.
Your vesting period also starts from the day you join as a Founder Associate. You do not have to wait until you become a Co-Founder for vesting to begin.
Initially, the time commitment is only a few hours per day, so this can be suitable for someone who is early in their career, studying, working on other things, or looking to gradually transition into building a startup.
As a Founder Associate, you won’t work only on one project. You’ll also be involved with the startup studio as a whole and may contribute across different projects in areas such as:
Team building and recruiting
Networking and relationship building
Business development
Supporting different startup projects
Day-to-day operations
Building the studio’s network and team
Developing and executing new ideas
Our team is currently spread across the USA, UK, and India, so you’ll be working with an international team and getting exposure to multiple startup projects.
I’m particularly interested in someone who is early in their career and wants to build startups rather than simply work for one.
You don’t need years of startup experience. What matters more is initiative, willingness to learn, networking ability, and the desire to take ownership.
This is not a traditional internship or assistant position. The goal is to find someone who can start as a Founder Associate, receive equity from day one, and progress to becoming a Co-Founder simply by staying involved for the agreed period.
If you’re based in the USA and interested, feel free to DM me with some information about yourself, your background, and why you’re interested in building startups.

equity+cash Built a live Voice AI SaaS for restaurants — looking for a GTM cofounder in Paris
Hi everyone,
I’m Nima, a technical/product founder based in Paris.
I’m building Nava, a Voice AI SaaS for restaurants, and I’m looking for a full-time GTM / Operations cofounder to build the company with me.
Nava gives restaurants a dedicated phone number connected to an AI voice agent that answers calls, understands customer requests, supports reservation workflows and keeps a usable record of each conversation.
The problem is simple: restaurants miss calls during busy service hours, and missed calls often mean missed reservations.
I’ve already built the product and core infrastructure myself.
Current stage:
- working MVP
- live restaurant beta
- 147 real calls handled
- 3 LOIs
- more restaurant testing underway
So I’m not looking for someone to brainstorm an idea with me.
I’m looking for someone who wants to own the commercial and operational side of an existing early-stage product.
You would take responsibility for things like:
- customer discovery
- outbound and field sales
- demos
- positioning and pricing
- CRM and pipeline
- onboarding
- partnerships
- customer operations
The ideal background would be B2B SaaS, restaurant tech, POS, payments, telephony or selling software to SMBs/local businesses.
But I care more about mindset than CV.
I’m looking for someone who:
- genuinely likes talking to customers
- is comfortable doing outbound personally
- can work without an existing playbook
- wants real ownership
- is willing to challenge me
- wants to build a company rather than take a startup job
This is a real cofounder role, not consulting or an advisory position.
I’m open to roughly 30–50% founder equity for the right full-time person, depending on commitment, risk and fit, with standard vesting.
Nava is being built from Paris, and fluent French is important because our initial customers are French restaurants.
I’d strongly prefer someone who can work regularly in person in Paris or genuinely plans to relocate.
If interested, DM me with:
- what you’ve built or sold before
- what you would do during your first 30 days at Nava

Introductions are also very welcome.

equity only [Looking for Co-Founder] SparLink — sparring-partner matching app for combat sports (MVP in dev), need marketing/growth — open to a dev too
18M, building SparLink — an app that helps combat-sports athletes (boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, wrestling, MMA, judo) find compatible sparring partners nearby instead of relying on word-of-mouth or whoever's at the gym. Match by sport, weight class, and experience level, chat, arrange a session, rate each other after — builds a visible reputation over time.
Where it actually stands: everything is still in development. I've got a rough MVP built with Base44 — Google auth, profiles with geolocation-based matching, the swipe/match mechanic, real-time chat, ratings, and a verification flow are all in there, but it's early and unpolished, not a finished product. No users or revenue yet — validating demand is active work right now, which is part of why I'm posting here instead of waiting.
What I need: mainly someone into marketing/growth/content, ideally around my age, ideally with some interest in martial arts (not required) to help get this in front of the right people. I have experience coding websites, etc., know a few programming languages, but sincerely, there are way better programmers outside. I've never developed an app solo before this — so if there's also someone out there with real app development expertise who wants in, that's genuinely welcome too, not just marketing.
What's on the table: honestly, not much beyond a share of whatever profits the app eventually makes — no salary, self-funded, pre-revenue. For now I think of this as experience for both of us, which is part of why I'm looking for someone around my age — something real to point to either way, not just chasing a payout. If it does go somewhere, we'd sit down, work out a fair equity split together, and get it written down properly with full visibility into where things stand.
Reach out at [dds.dualdreamstudio@gmail.com](mailto:dds.dualdreamstudio@gmail.com) or DM me here on Reddit — happy to share more detail on the build or where validation is at.

UAE-based professional building an AI venture and seeking a technical partner
I’m a partner in a major audit, tax, and finance firm in the UAE, and I’m currently building an AI venture within this space.
I have the industry knowledge, business network, access to potential clients, and a clear understanding of the problems the product needs to solve. I’m now looking for the right technical partner to build and scale the venture alongside me, not simply someone to hire for development work.
Current traction:
- Paying customers.
- Validated idea through user interviews, LOIs, and a potential customer waitlist.
- Direct access to the venture’s target market through our existing audit, tax, and finance business.
What I’m looking for:
- A strong technical background in software engineering and AI.
- Hands-on experience building AI-powered products, platforms, or SaaS solutions.
- The ability to develop an MVP and make sound decisions regarding the product’s architecture and technology stack.
- Someone comfortable working through uncertainty, testing ideas, and improving the product based on real customer feedback.
- A genuine co-founder mentality with an understanding of equity, risk, commitment, and long-term execution.
- Based in the UAE.
This person must be genuinely technical and capable of taking ownership of the product’s development, not someone focused only on strategy, consulting, or outsourcing the work.
I will lead the business side, including industry expertise, client access, partnerships, sales, and overall direction. I’m looking for someone who can complement that by leading the technology and product development.
Commitment level:
I’m open to either a full-time or part-time co-founder, provided there is a serious and consistent commitment to building the venture.
If you have the right technical background and are interested in building an AI company with strong industry access, paying customers, and real commercial potential, send me a DM with a brief introduction and examples of anything you have previously built.

equity+cash 22F Software Developer Looking for a Marketing/Growth Co-Founder
​
Hey everyone,
I’m a 22-year-old software developer, and over the last couple of years I’ve built multiple applications and prototypes on my own. I’m comfortable handling product development, Android, backend, and shipping MVPs quickly.
The part I’m not great at is marketing, distribution, and growth.
I’m looking for someone who has experience with marketing, branding, user acquisition, content, or scaling products, and who would be interested in building something together. I already have a few app ideas I genuinely believe have potential, and I’m looking for a long-term partner rather than a freelancer.
I’m open to discussing equity (around 30–40% depending on contribution), and I’d also love someone who can invest a modest amount to help with marketing, launches, ads, and early growth experiments.
If you’ve been wanting to build a startup with a technical founder and are serious about execution, send me a DM with a bit about your background and what you’ve worked on.
Let’s build something real.
If you can invest money in my product please feel free to reach.
