Looking for a growth cofounder for mobile app

Love the angle here — “Duolingo meets personal finance” really positions the app as habit-anchored, not just another budgeting tool. That’s where growth channels that lean into storytelling tend to work best, because users resonate with a narrative of identity change, not just features.

Something I’ve noticed with mobile growth experiments is starting with experiential hooks — short-form or community content that showcases a real behavior outcome (e.g., “how I saved $50 without dieting my lifestyle”) — often creates better early traction than purely feature demos.

Curious — are you planning your first content experiments around identity/behavior stories, or something more feature-focused (like “how the app works” type posts)?

Really interesting idea and focus. Mobile is such a crowded space these days that finding the right angle often comes down to clarity about the problem you’re solving and deep understanding of the users you’re building for. I’ve seen projects that struggled early on because the core use case wasn’t clearly differentiated, even if technically they were solid.

Have you found any specific user patterns or feedback that helped you refine your product direction before looking for a cofounder? Curious about what kind of early validation you’re seeing.

Have seen this dynamic play out a few times. The strongest growth partnerships I’ve observed were built on shared clarity and execution rhythm, not just skill overlap. Interested to hear what kind of working style you’re optimizing for in a cofounder. As i am already operating in the skills you required.

Go use that AI marketing software called Amplift; it can be your best marketing growth partner!

Really like the “Duolingo for money” angle , it solves the biggest problem in personal finance apps:
people don’t feel rewarded for good behavior.
Curious how you’re thinking about early traction:

Most fintech apps fail not because the product is weak, but because
the content doesn’t translate emotion → habit → retention.

Short-form growth tends to work best when:
• the story is bigger than the feature
• the user sees themselves in the outcome
• the content creates a tiny identity shift (“I’m someone who…”)
• the feedback loop inside the app matches the content message

Your product seems perfect for that kind of narrative.

How are you planning to structure the first 30–50 content experiments?

Samarth, this is a solid vision , the “Duolingo meets personal finance” angle is a strong hook, and your technical stack already covers everything most founders look for in a CTO-type partner.

I’m not applying as a cofounder since I’m not US-based, but I’ve helped multiple fintech and mobile apps grow through community-driven channels like Reddit, where personal finance users actively discuss budgeting tools, money habits, and new finance apps daily.

If you ever want a quick breakdown of:

where your ideal users are already hanging out

what type of content gets them to take action

and how to create early traction without ads

I can run a free community growth scan for you. No pitch ,just insights you can use while you search for the right cofounder.

Let me know if you'd find that useful. 🚀

Love the idea! Distribution will be the real multiplier here.
I help founders grow organically via Reddit marketing with proven traffic and conversion systems. If you’re open to a quick chat, I’d love to explore how I could help drive your early users.

This sounds like a solid vision especially the Duolingo meets your bank account angle.
Personal finance + habit-building apps tend to gain traction fast on Reddit because people openly talk about budgeting struggles, money anxiety, and daily finance habits.

A quick note from my side:
I help founders use Reddit as a growth channel to attract early users, validate positioning, and get consistent traction without ads. For mobile apps (especially fintech), Reddit works extremely well when you know:

• which subreddits already discuss the pain your app solves
• how to enter conversations naturally without looking promotional
• what post formats spark curiosity and downloads
• how to turn comments, DMs engaged early users

I’ve helped a few early-stage products get their first wave of real users, and personal finance communities are some of the most active.

If you ever want a breakdown of:

– the best subreddits for your app
– content angles that trigger engagement
– how to position this without sounding like another finance tool

I’m happy to share what’s working right now
