Full stack dev seeking to join as co-founder

I'm Rafal, senior full-stack engineer based in Dubai. Rust/WASM specialist, but I ship across the whole stack — React/TypeScript/Tailwind, Kotlin/Swift for mobile, Go and Python for backend. 10+ years building production software.
I love building. I don't love selling. Looking for someone who is the opposite.

What I need from you: real customer conversations already happening, some distribution or audience, and obsession with a specific problem. You sell, I build.

What I'm not looking for: a Notion doc full of ideas. Come back when you've talked to 10 customers.

Open to equity or revenue share. Happy to do a 30-day trial before any formal agreement.

DM me or drop a comment.

    PHARMACY EXPERT SEEKING TECHNICAL CO-FOUNDER (50/50 EQUITY) FOR HEALTHTECH SAAS

    Post Body:
    I have developed a clinical logic framework called the PRESCRIBING CASCADE. It is designed for HOSPITALS and NURSING HOMES to identify medication "red flags," prevent dangerous drug interactions, and stop the cascade of unnecessary prescriptions in senior citizens.

    I am a retired pharmacist with decades of clinical experience. I have the logic, the industry knowledge, and the roadmap—but I need a TECHNICAL CO-FOUNDER to build the engine.

    THE OFFER:

    50/50 EQUITY SPLIT (Standard 4-year vesting / 1-year cliff).

    NOT A SALARY POSITION: This is for a builder who wants to own half of a company, not an employee looking for a paycheck.

    THE GOAL: Build the MVP, secure institutional pilots, and either scale to a million-dollar company or sell to a major HealthTech player.

    WHO YOU ARE:

    A Full-Stack Developer who can build a secure, scalable SaaS.

    Interested in HealthTech and making a real impact on senior safety.

    Ready to build "sweat equity" to create a high-value asset.

    If you are tired of building "another social app" and want to build something that saves lives and has a clear path to revenue, let’s talk.

    Hi Rafal,

    I’m a developer too currently building a school ERP and trying to validate it before finishing the product. I don't have as much experience as you have.

    I haven’t talked to 10 schools yet, but I’m starting to explore their pain points around fee tracking and communication.

    Curious—what’s worked best for you (or others you’ve seen) when it comes to getting those first real customer conversations?

  3. 1

    Hi Rafal, since you prefer to focus 100% on building and want to leverage someone else's distribution, would you be interested in a system that allows you to scale distribution across multiple partners automatically once your product is ready? It might give you more leverage than just a 1-on-1 partnership.

      Hi,

      if you know anyone. who would like take a school ERP (MVP) and create buisness from it. that would be very useful for me. My school ERP is in feature freeze on. now, I don't know how to do business yet. I can build things. but, I can not sell. so, I want to sell ownership of the code base or IP.

        Hi Vivek, can we connect in X or Linkedin?

    Hey 👋

    I’m a high school student currently building Learnify — a gamified platform where people can learn skills, build real projects, and unlock opportunities like internships 🎮🚀

    I’m looking for a technical co-founder or someone passionate about tech/startups who would love to build something impactful together from an early stage.

    The vision is to make learning feel as engaging and rewarding as playing a game.

    I’m already working on:
    ✅ Branding & social media
    ✅ Landing page & community
    ✅ Product idea & roadmap

    Now I’m looking for someone who enjoys building and wants to grow this together long-term.

    If this sounds interesting, I’d love to connect and discuss further 🚀

    DM me on my instagram handle

      I am not founder or anything like that. I am a developer. I have build school ERP. you knowledge about gamifing knowledge can be helpful in my system.

      If you would like to join and contribute to project let me know.

    Hi Rafal,

    I am new to this platform and am not sure how to DM you. How can we connect?

  6. 1

    Outstanding and good work keep sharing

  7. 1

    Really like this approach — clear, practical, and focused on execution. Too many people bring ideas, not customers. Respect for valuing traction first.

    I work as a CTO / full-stack engineer helping founders turn traction into stable, scalable products — backend systems, subscriptions, AI integrations, and product delivery. Recently helped scale a live app to 120k+ users.

    If you ever need an extra technical partner on the build side, happy to connect 🚀

    Impressive stack, Rafal. I’m building a high-concurrency engine for global e-commerce that requires exactly the kind of performance optimization you mentioned (Rust/Python). I’ve already moved past the 'Notion ideas' phase and have a solid architecture ready for a CTO to lead. Sent you a DM with the specifics. Let’s connect."

      Hi, it sounds like you’re already deep into execution, which is great.
      I’m a Senior Full-Stack AI Engineer (U.S.-based) with 7+ years of experience across backend, frontend, mobile, and systems work, and I focus heavily on building scalable production systems.
      If you have an active project or a clearly defined problem you’re working on, I’d be happy to connect and learn more about what you’re building and see how I can contribute.

        HI, i'm Connell, a Bug Bounty Hunter. I run PentraSec, a Web Application Security boutique, similar to platforms like HackerOne and Bugcroud but more personalised, meaning more focus on in-scope applications to test.
        I'd be happy to partner with you to test your applications before attackers do; leaving you to focus on the development while i cover your unintentionally open paths and footprints attackers could crawl into, and making sure you stay trusted and guaranteed by your clients.

    Civil engineer here (PE, 15 years in California). I've been on both sides of land development design space— designer and reviewer — and I've watched the AEC software space stagnate for my whole career.

    Looking for a technical partner who wants to take on Autodesk and Bluebeam in a space they've been milking for decades. The incumbents can't fix what's broken without cannibalizing in which they charge a fortune.

    Think of it as Figma for AEC. Happy to share more.

    This is a solid post, especially the “sell vs build” clarity.

    One thing I’ve been noticing working on AI-heavy systems is that once you start wiring outputs into real workflows, you hit a different class of problems than just building features, more around reliability and edge-case behavior over time.

    Curious if you’re leaning toward products where that kind of systems thinking matters, or more straightforward SaaS?

  11. 1

    Useful perspective — the community benefits a lot from founders sharing both wins and setbacks. How long did it take to get to this point?

  12. 1

    Hey— saw your post about looking to join a startup and wanted to reach out directly.

    I'm building CareAuth — an AI that eliminates prior authorization denials for clinics. Prior auth is the process where doctors need insurance approval before a patient can receive care. Every insurer has different requirements. One wrong field means automatic denial and a 3-week restart. This costs US clinics $13B+ annually.

    We validate every submission against that specific payer's exact requirements before it goes out. The model learns from every approval and denial across our network — one clinic's failure becomes every clinic's protection.

    2026 CMS regulations are forcing the entire industry onto digital infrastructure. That window is open right now.

    What we need from a full-stack engineer:
    — Build the clinic-facing dashboard and intake form
    — Own one EHR integration (athenahealth or eClinicalWorks)
    — Build the outcome capture mechanism that feeds our AI

    Seed stage. Equity-heavy. 10-week MVP sprint. Real problem with a hard regulatory deadline creating urgency no competitor can manufacture.

    If any of this sounds interesting — even slightly — I'd love a 15-minute call this week. No pitch, just a conversation.

    What does your availability look like?

  13. 1

    Quick question — as you’re building, have you ever had parts of a system behave differently over time even when nothing obvious changed?

    I’ve been seeing that a lot with AI-integrated workflows.

    Been working on a small runtime layer that stabilizes that kind of drift underneath systems — not replacing anything, just keeping behavior consistent.

    Curious if you’ve run into that yet or not.

  14. 1

    Hey Rafal,
    Built a platform called Startr (getstartrapp) for exactly this kind of search. Invite only, proof of work required to get in , so no Notion doc people, only founders who've actually built or sold something.
    Think it could be a good fit for what you're looking for.

  15. 1

    Rust/WASM expertise combined with a shipping-first mindset is a rare find, Rafal. Your "you sell, I build" approach is the ultimate partnership model for founders who have the distribution but lack the technical depth to scale beyond a simple prototype.
    I’m currently running a project (Tokyo Lore) that highlights high-level technical builders and high-potential business logic. Since you're looking for partners with real customer traction, testing your "full-stack dev" pitch in a competitive environment could be a perfect way to attract founders who are already moving fast and need a senior partner to keep up.
