Looking for a UI/UX Designer Co-Founder
Hi everyone, I’m Moritz, a founder from Germany. I’m looking for a UI/UX designer who might be interested in becoming a co-founder.
I started my first company at age 15 and ran it until 2018. It was a bootstrapped B2C business selling digital goods that grew to about €1.2M in annual revenue and 80,000+ customers before I exited. Since then I’ve been building SaaS products and experimenting with new ideas. In 2023 I also received a €12,000 entrepreneurship scholarship from the German state NRW. Right now I’m working on two projects with a developer that already generate some revenue: fastpal.com and hofmannmoritz.com.
I’m currently looking for someone to start with a smaller side/weekend project first. The idea is an AI powered bookkeeping wrapper where founders simply chat with a Telegram bot to submit receipts and notes, instead of dealing with folders and spreadsheets. I already built a rough first version and I would personally pay for something like this. Over time it could expand into a broader finance assistant with budgeting and automation features.
The technical side is mostly covered. What I’m looking for is someone who enjoys thinking about product experience and design from the beginning. Someone who likes questions like how to make finance tools feel simple and calm instead of stressful, and how chat based interfaces with AI agents should actually work in a product.
Equity would be based on the Pie Slicer model by Mike Moyer where everyone logs time and money invested and final equity is fixed once the company can pay founder salaries. It’s a flexible system that tends to feel fair in early stage startups.
I’m mainly looking for someone who likes B2B products, is curious about AI tools, and wants to build something long term together. Personal fit matters to me more than a perfect resume.
If this sounds interesting, feel free to message me or share a portfolio.
Good luck
Hi Moritz, impressive journey! I’m a Flutter developer and have experience building cross-platform apps and AI-integrated workflows. If you ever want to expand your finance assistant to mobile or improve its app experience, I’d be happy to collaborate or share ideas. Feel free to check my portfolio or DM me.
Hi Moritz!
My name is Vladyslav, and I specialize in UI/UX design.
I am currently looking for some projects to dive into.
We are a team of designers and ready to start ASAP.
The format of partnership is preferable but we are open for discuccions!
Hi,
I am currently selling UXHz (UX + Hertz/Frequency). It’s a precision-based brand name perfect for a specialized performance auditing tool or a high-speed design service.
Short, memorable 4-letter domains for UX design are highly valuable(You even may reask AI=), but
I’m looking for a quick sale this month at $777 (or $70/month via LTO).
Get it now or let me know if you want more details.
Best
Hey Moritz,
I came across your post and the idea of an AI-powered bookkeeping assistant via chat sounds really interesting.
I'm a developer currently building SaaS and fintech tools myself, so the concept definitely caught my attention. I’d be curious to understand the project better — what the current prototype already does, what the technical stack looks like, and what direction you’re planning for the first version.
Could you share a bit more about what you’ve built so far and how you see the product evolving?

Hi Moritz,
I’m Robson Muniz, a front-end developer and founder with extensive experience building React-based products. Your AI bookkeeping assistant idea sounds really exciting—I love tools that simplify complex processes and make them feel calm and intuitive.
I’ve built projects that focus on clean UI/UX and user-friendly flows, especially in dashboards and automation-heavy apps, and I enjoy thinking about how design and functionality can work together from day one. I’m confident I could contribute to shaping the product experience and the chat-based interface you described.
I’m very interested in collaborating on a side project first to see how we work together and potentially grow it into a long-term venture. I also appreciate your approach to equity—it aligns with a fair, founder-focused philosophy.
I’d love to share my portfolio and discuss next steps if you think there’s a potential fit.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Robson Muniz
Cold email gets blamed for spam, but the problem is usually volume, not cold email itself. A well-researched, specific, useful email that happens to come from a stranger is not spam. A blasted template to 50,000 people is.
The useful mental model: would you be glad you got this email if the situation were reversed? If yes, send it. If it's purely "I have a product I want you to know about," rework it until it has actual value for the recipient.
The best cold emails I've seen do research on the recipient's recent work, mention something specific, and make the ask small (5 minutes, not a demo call).
The "runs locally, no subscriptions" positioning speaks to a real and growing buyer sentiment: subscription fatigue is real, and data privacy concerns are increasing.
Technical buyers especially are allergic to another SaaS that requires yet another account, another set of API keys to manage, and another vendor who might change pricing or go down.
A local Python script that you run when you need it and own outright is genuinely differentiated from the SaaS alternative. Worth leaning hard into that in positioning.
What does the onboarding experience look like for someone who has Python but isn't a developer?

Hi Moritz, this sounds like an interesting idea. I’m a Product Designer with experience designing fintech and data-heavy products, including trading and crypto platforms. I enjoy simplifying complex financial workflows and thinking deeply about product experience from the early stages. I’d be interested in learning more about what you’ve built so far and the vision for the AI bookkeeping assistant. Happy to share my portfolio and chat further.

Hallo Moritz,
ich bin aktiv auf der Suche nach einem Co-Founder, um gemeinsam eine SaaS-Lösung oder ein ähnliches Produkt im B2B-Bereich aufzubauen.
Ich bin kein Software Engineer, aber ein überzeugter Unternehmer durch und durch. Nach vier Jahren intensivem Ausprobieren möchte ich jetzt etwas Solides und Nachhaltiges aufbauen. In dieser Zeit habe ich mehr getestet, gestartet und auf die Beine gestellt als viele in einem klassischen Studium je tun würden. Das sage ich nicht, um Studiengänge schlechtzureden, sondern weil ich fest daran glaube, dass gerade in der unternehmerischen Welt Learning by Doing durch nichts zu ersetzen ist.
Ich habe bereits rund 20 verschiedene Apps entwickelt und eine davon vollständig auf den Markt gebracht. Da ich mich nun bewusst von B2C in Richtung B2B entwickeln möchte, habe ich dieses Projekt vorerst auf Pause gestellt, um mich voll auf den nächsten Schritt zu fokussieren.
Was mir aktuell fehlt, ist echter Austausch und das gemeinsame Arbeiten mit jemandem, der Momentum aufbauen möchte. Ich komme aus der Schweiz, wo Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit keine Floskeln sind.
Meine Überzeugung: Das Produkt muss einen klaren Product-Market-Fit haben und dem Kunden auf offensichtliche, kalkulierbare Weise Zeit oder Geld sparen. Alles andere macht Unternehmertum unnötig schwer. Ich bin deshalb der Meinung, dass man zuerst verkaufen sollte (Waitinglist, Pre-Sales, MVP) und erst dann baut oder optimiert. Direktes Markt-Feedback schlägt jede interne Überzeugung.
Ob du bereits eine konkrete Idee hast oder ob wir gemeinsam von Grund auf nach der richtigen Nische graben würden, ist für mich offen. Wichtig ist mir vor allem der menschliche und unternehmerische Fit.
Themen wie Equity und Co. sind für mich im Moment zweitrangig. Darüber würde ich erst sprechen, wenn wir merken, dass wir wirklich zusammenpassen.
Ich freue mich auf ein erstes Gespräch.
Herzliche Grüsse
Mirco
