Looking for Technical Co-Founder for Construction SaaS Startup
Hi All,
I am the CEO and founder of Build Easy (www.buildeasyapp.com). Build Easy is a cost tracking platform for small and medium sized construction companies and contractors.
The product is almost feature complete and I currently have 1 company onboard and 3 others waiting to start a free trial (5 companies used the MVP and I have demo'd and spoken with 50+ other construction companies).
I'm currently looking for a technical co-founder / CTO to take some of the development work off my plate so that I can focus a bit more on sales and new customers. I would prefer somebody based in the Bay Area (like me).
If you're interested in learning more you can reach me at shane@buildeasyapp.com.
Thanks,
Shane, construction tech is notoriously hard to crack but your traction is solid - 1 paying customer and a strong pipeline is real validation!
Since this was posted in 2019, curious if you found your technical co-founder? If you're still looking, I'd suggest being very specific about construction domain expertise vs general SaaS development skills. Construction workflows have unique complexities that generic developers often underestimate.
Also, with feature-complete product and paying customers, you might consider whether you need a 'co-founder' or a strong CTO hire. The equity vs salary trade-off changes significantly once you have revenue. Either way, impressive progress on the business development side!
Hi Shane, I'm sure you'll have no problems finding someone considering you already have sales! But if you are still struggling: can you let us know the tech stack you're currently using and also do you have much sales experience yourself or are you getting help with that too?
Sure. The codebase is a MEAN stack (AngularJS 1.5). I do have some sales experience from when I was a freelancer and I also have a vast network in the construction industry. I am not getting any help with sales right now (outside of referrals).
Well having hardly touched angular and been no where close to california I suppose probably leave it. Best of luck
Sounds fun! I am really interested.
Cool. Do you want to drop me an email: shane@buildeasyapp.com?
Where are you based?
India
Have you tried cofounderslab?
I have not. I'll check it out. Thanks.
Good luck!
If I speak to any developers who are looking for a co-founder role will keep you in mind.
Thank you.
