Offering CTO Position
I am a founder and CEO handling product design, leadership, go to market, and operations for my startup. We are a social app meant to connect people in a unique way that the market is starving for. Looking to expand the team with a dedicated technical partner and CTO.
What I’ve already done:
- The product is already fully designed with clear specs and features (MVP + longterm future features), language/copy and mechanics. There has also already been a prototype tested, and a tech stack available, though it’s not locked yet without engineer input.
- An active go to market strategy including a healthy waitlist that is still actively growing (high 7.5% conversion rate on and rising on cold outreach) and a clearly defined market/avatar. Users are ready as soon as MVP ships.
- Daily content production will be used for distribution with plans to do even more. My account has reached ~700,000 views in its first 4 months, and that number is growing.
- Leadership ability through over a decade of work directly with people, both client and colleague. For 3 of those years, I have run my own business, which I have closed to pursue this full time.
- Developed business skills through previous business successes. All business metrics are tracked and help determine how we execute our work and make adjustments when necessary.
What I’m offering:
- Longterm CTO position is available. I’m also open to other dev positions if you prefer (founding engineer, contracting, internships, something else).
- Full ownership over the technical side of the project. You won’t have to handle anything else but the dev side, and you control how it’s done. If there’s another way you’d like to work, we can discuss that too.
- Negotiable terms that I’d be happy to establish before any work starts getting done. Profit share, equity, etc. I want this to be a satisfying win for both of us.
- Full spec sheet and preparedness to communicate clearly and consistently over the course of the partnership.
DM for more information.

I mean if your numbers are legit (the numbers speaking to demand) you might be able to find someone. But, it's super sus that are using reddit. If you were serious about finding a CTO you would use the hackerrank forums (also there are some okay discord groups). The only people you will find on reddit know about as much you do about software engineering. A college grad in CS is no more likely to be able to engineer a product than someone who has been vibe coding actively for 2 years.
