Looking for mech-e cofounder in SoCal - innovative appliance startup

I’m a solo founder working on a consumer hardware product in the Los Angeles area. I’ve already filed the patent, designed a full mechanical architecture, and am now beginning DV1 prototyping.

What I need now is a mechanical engineering cofounder to help me take this from design → working prototype. If you're someone who:

  • Has 3-8+ years real-world experience building out real physical systems
  • Likes building things that actually exist in the world
  • Wants to take ownership of a system end-to-end
  • Is excited by early-stage ambiguity

...I'd love to talk and share some more details on what we're building. (Send CV/LinkedIn to [email protected] and I'll get back to you within 24 hours)

    Useful for anyone considering the same path. The biggest unlock for most early-stage products is usually getting to 10 super-engaged users before scaling. How many are you at?

    Hardware is a different level of commitment, especially at this stage where everything is still forming. finding someone who’s not just skilled but aligned long term is usually the hardest part. how are you currently approaching that search beyond outreach?

    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.
