Fintech/Decision Analytics Platform Seeking Tech Co-Founder

On the hunt for a technical co-founder to help accelerate our analytics and financial forecast application. Here's the bullet point summary:

Team

• bootstrapped, current founders have full time jobs; been building for 3+ years
• myself, non-tech, day job in the VFX/film industry; putting in 20-30 hours per week on startup; possibility of going full-time in early 2023
• self-funded. Open to seeking Angel investment
• Fractional CTO, mostly high level design and architecture, little coding, 2 hours per week
• 3 full time comp-sci co-op student, 1 full time front end, 1 part-time senior dev functioning mostly as a mentor
• product in market, very early days on revenue

Product

• whatifi.io - a highly visual, if-this-then-that style financial scenario modelling platform. We help Founder and SMB owners VISUALLY create, compare and present "what if" financial models to the clients, teams and investors.
• sample of model built with our tech - https://youtu.be/znFwORHMpP0
• solid, working version of product in market. In our early adopter, early access phase.
• grand vision - a Zapier like platform for automating finance and financial decisions. Expansion verticals from personal finance to enterprise to real estate

The Ask

• need a technical co-founder to truly own the codebase and the project
• hitting our limits with complexity and velocity using co-op students that churn out every 8 months; this approach is no longer scaleable
• ideally able to dedicate 20+ hours per week; equity only
• needs to be okay with a bootstrap, indie style approach to building traction and product
• we're based in Vancouver. Ideally you would be within a couple of time zones of PST
• not looking for an outsource agency at this point, thanks
• tech stack; React, Node.js, Typescript, Javascript, Konva.js, Go, Postgres, AWS
• any experience with sales and marketing would be a bonus

Happy to hop on a call with anyone who is interested to learn more.

Thanks

    Hi there,
    I like the idea. Early version...I suppose.

    About me
    I have been working in my consulting software engineering company, mostly in the banking, insurance, and telecom world, for the past 13 years. I am looking to transition to the startup world. Which is where my heart has been since 2013. When I, first, financed and launched my startup. If you are technically inclined, check me out: https://bitbucket.org/transmeta01

    I would like to discuss this further. Hit me up: transmeta01@gmail[dot]com

    cheer
    Richard
