Looking for AI automation n8n Cofounder

Hi, community. I’ve been in Sales (real estate, gaming, crypto sectors) for the last years and ran multiple businesses before. Hands on, with 8 years of coding experience as well, i understand how big applications works, but AI moves fast, there are tools like n8n etc., so I’m looking for a technical partner to move even faster.

Looking for someone with background on AWS, Docker, DevOps, Full-Stack, Caching, Data (all are required), and most important n8n / AI engineering

I’ll handle sales, marketing, management and investor side (already have investor contacts). Only long-term, committed people NOOO “I have a deal in 2 days” stories. Dont have time for this conversation. Salary? it is a time to decide, to jump or to work for salary. Only profit share 5-7% depending on experience (details on call, can get first clients in 1 month as it is real pain in niche business)

If that’s you, drop your LinkedIn in the comments. Let’s build something solves real industry problem

    Hey Zack — not applying as a cofounder, but wanted to share some hard-won n8n experience since your post resonated.

    I've been building n8n-based automation pipelines for the past 6 months (currently at 46 workflows). A few things I wish I'd known earlier:

    1. n8n's error handling is surprisingly fragile at scale — build retry logic into every external API node from day one, don't add it later
    2. The community on Discord is genuinely great for unblocking weird edge cases
    3. For AI-heavy workflows, separating your "orchestration" workflows from your "execution" workflows keeps things maintainable as complexity grows

    On the cofounder front — the profile you're describing (sales + investor network + business experience) is actually quite rare. Most technical n8n builders I know are solo and struggling with the GTM side. Hope you find the right person. Good luck!

    I would be glad to explore the opportunity to work with you. We can connect via email at [email protected]
    Additionally, could you please share your LinkedIn profile?
    I look forward to discussing this further.

    Zack, solid clarity on what you’re building and the niche pain points that alone sets this apart from typical “partner wanted” posts.

    While I’m not stepping in as a technical co-founder, I do work closely with founders in fast-moving AI and automation spaces to help them validate demand, position their offer, and generate targeted traction on Reddit and related communities.

    If you’re planning to pull in first clients quickly, having the right narrative and visibility in front of the right audiences can shave weeks off early acquisition. That’s the gap I help teams close.

    If you’re open to a conversation on how strategic Reddit marketing can support your launch and client pipeline, feel free to check my profile or reach out happy to explore whether I can add value alongside your tech partner.

    Interesting. Have you already built the initial flow or waiting to find someone to help set it up?

      Tech cofounder will do that

    Love your clarity and focus, Zack n8n-style automation paired with real business use cases is a powerful combo.

    I’m building Simplita.ai, a visual AI builder that goes beyond automation it lets you design, automate, and launch full SaaS or agent apps visually, while fully owning your code. Think of it as the next step after n8n where you can turn those automated flows into complete, deployable products.

    We’re launching on Nov 18 , and early access is open at https://simplita.ai I’d love to connect and explore potential synergies your business & growth background could pair really well with our product layer.

    Hi Zack, this sounds like the kind of challenge and long-term commitment I am interested in. I have a background in AI engineering, full-stack development, cloud, and automation tools. Would be happy to discuss and explore if our goals align.

    contact me at remove the space before as it's not letting me comment because I'm a new user

    Hey, I'd be interested but 5 - 7% seems kind of low. Drop me a message if you're open to discussing: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myles-mcpherson/

    "This is a strong, focused proposal, Zack. The specificity in your tech stack requirements (n8n, AWS, Docker) is what separates serious founders from the rest.

    I've been operating in the AI automation space from the growth side. The most successful teams I've seen use a 'ship and tell' strategy: they use tools like n8n to build a micro-solution for a specific pain point, then use a platform like Beehiiv to build an audience around the problem as they're building the solution. This validates demand and creates a waitlist simultaneously.

    Your sales background is perfect for this. While your technical co-founder builds, you can be documenting the process and building the initial community. This de-riskes the launch significantly.

    I'm not your technical partner, but I'm happy to brainstorm GTM strategies. Following to see what you build."

    Hi Zack,

    I really like the clarity and direction in your post — it’s rare to see someone who knows exactly what they’re building and what kind of partner they need.

    I’m Oladimeji Success, a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience across AWS, Docker, DevOps, n8n, and AI automation. I’ve built and deployed scalable web apps, automation workflows, and MVPs for startups.

    I’m genuinely interested in long-term collaboration and helping build something meaningful.
