Looking for a technical co-founder - AI + interior design platform

Looking for a technical co-founder - AI + interior design platform, UK-based

I'm an interior designer based in London building something I haven't seen done properly anywhere: a platform where a real designer's taste is encoded into the AI — not just a generic tool that spits similar renders time and time again.

The core idea: can be discussed privately if you feel you are interested in exploring this space.

I'm looking for someone who:
— Has built a SaaS product before, ideally solo or small team
— Has integrated AI APIs (Replicate, OpenAI, Anthropic — any of these)
— Wants equity and ownership – this currently has no paid role
— Is genuinely curious about the design world

I bring the domain expertise, client relationships, creative direction, and the IP that makes this different. UK/EU timezone preferred but not essential.

Drop me a comment or DM if this sounds interesting.

    The real moat here is not “AI for interiors.”

    That part gets commoditized fast.

    The defensible layer is whether the output carries recognizable taste instead of just producing prettier generic renders.

    If what you’re really building is taste infrastructure, the product likely outgrows “AI interior design tool” pretty quickly.

    That also means the brand probably matters earlier than most tools in this category.
    A generic descriptive name will make this feel like another prompt wrapper fast.

    Something tighter like Auryxa.com would hold premium positioning much better if this becomes taste-led software instead of just render generation.

      Thankyou for your thoughts!

        Of course.

        The reason I mentioned it is because interiors is one of those categories where the brand has to feel premium before the product is even tested.

        If this becomes taste-led software, not just AI rendering, the name will carry a lot of the trust.

        Auryxa.com fits that lane well if you ever want a cleaner premium .com direction around this.
