**Technical Co-Founder | Early-Stage Technology Startup 35% Equity | 35% Ownership of the Brand | No Compensation Until Positive Cash Flow** Build Something That Matters I am looking for an ambitious, technically exceptional Technical Co-Founder to join me in building a technology startup from the ground up, with the ambition to create a globally scalable business. I want to connect with talented individuals from Ivy League universities who combine strong technical knowledge with entrepreneurial thinking and the ambition to build something significant. The goal is to identify a meaningful problem, develop an innovative technology solution, and build a company with long-term growth potential. This is a genuine co-founder opportunity, not a conventional employment position. You will have a meaningful stake in the venture, contribute to major decisions, and help shape the product, technology, and long-term direction of the business. The Opportunity 35% equity and 35% ownership of the brand, subject to a formal founder agreement. No salary or compensation until the business generates positive cash flow. Flexible, remote collaboration that can accommodate existing academic or professional commitments. A leadership role in product development, technical strategy, and engineering decisions. The opportunity to explore innovative ideas involving AI, SaaS, automation, and emerging technologies. The chance to build a technology company with international ambitions from its earliest stages. The Role As Technical Co-Founder, you will take primary responsibility for shaping and developing the technical foundation of the startup. You will work directly with me to evaluate opportunities, validate product concepts, build an initial product, and establish a roadmap for future development. You will have genuine influence over technical decisions and the opportunity to help transform an early-stage concept into a commercially viable technology business.

What You Will Do

Identify real-world problems that could be addressed through innovative technology. Research market opportunities and help validate potential product ideas. Lead the design and development of an initial minimum viable product (MVP). Establish the technical architecture and make appropriate engineering decisions. Explore practical applications of artificial intelligence, automation, SaaS, and other emerging technologies. Develop prototypes, test assumptions, and improve the product based on feedback. Define the technical roadmap and plan for scalability, security, and reliability. Collaborate on business strategy, product positioning, fundraising preparation, and future team development. Take ownership of technical progress and contribute to the long-term vision of the company. What I Am Looking For A current undergraduate or postgraduate student, researcher, recent graduate, or early-career professional with a strong technical background. An individual studying at an Ivy League university, with exceptional candidates from comparable leading US institutions also welcome. Strong knowledge of computer science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, or a related technical discipline. Practical technical ability, ideally demonstrated through personal projects, research, prototypes, open-source contributions, or products. An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to turn ideas into working solutions. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Genuine interest in building a technology company rather than simply completing technical assignments. Clear communication, reliability, initiative, and a willingness to make important decisions. A long-term mindset and the ability to commit meaningful time to developing the venture. Location and eligibility : This opportunity is intended for candidates based in the United States who are interested in collaborating with a US-based entrepreneurial and university technology community. Candidates must be able to participate in the venture and meet any applicable legal requirements. US citizenship is not a requirement for this co-founder role. Important Note This is an early-stage startup opportunity, not a salaried position. There will be no compensation until the business reaches positive cash flow. The proposed arrangement is 35% equity and 35% ownership of the brand, with the final terms, responsibilities, vesting arrangements, intellectual property rights, and founder commitments to be documented in a formal agreement. The venture is at an early stage, so the selected co-founder should be comfortable working through product validation, initial development, and business model refinement before substantial revenue is established. Let's Build Something Significant I am looking for a technical partner who thinks beyond the code, challenges assumptions, identifies opportunities, and wants to help build a company with real commercial potential. If you are technically driven, entrepreneurial, and motivated by the challenge of turning an ambitious idea into a scalable technology business, I would welcome a conversation.
