Looking for technical co-founder to build a B2B product with strong customer interest
Hey everyone - I'm looking for a technical co-founder to partner with me 50/50 on an exciting opportunity. For a few months I've been speaking with several prospects and I currently have close to 10 prospects eagerly waiting to try my product. These prospects are just from cold outreach. Prospects range from < 200 employee companies to publicly traded. The pain point has been validated, there is a willingness to pay and It's time to get the thing built.
We are developing a novel approach to keeping help center documentation up to date as features are launched. This is one of the most arduous, challenging tasks for technical writing and documentation teams and currently has no good solution.
I'm a generalist with a background in product management, and I'm doing all sales / biz dev efforts. I'm looking to move with urgency, but I have a full-time job so I am working part-time on this. If you are in a spot to put in time (not just weekends) and are interested in bootstrapping until we're bringing in enough money to go full-time, please reach out to me at [email protected].
Hey Scott — 10 prospects waiting from cold outreach alone is strong validation. That means you've nailed the pain point, and the product just needs to exist.
Help center documentation going stale as features ship is a universal problem — every product team knows it but nobody's solved it well. The fact that companies ranging from SMBs to publicly traded are interested tells you this has real market depth.
We run a dev studio that specializes in shipping B2B SaaS MVPs fast — typically 2-4 week sprints. We've built AI-powered platforms at production scale, and a documentation automation tool with AI integration is right in our wheelhouse.
Here's a thought: rather than waiting to find a co-founder (which can take months of alignment), you could get a working MVP in front of those 10 prospects within weeks through a paid build. You keep 100% ownership, validate with real users, and generate revenue faster. Then you're negotiating from a position of strength if you do bring on a technical partner later.
Would love to hear more about the product vision. DM me here — happy to talk through the technical approach.
Scott, your traction is impressive - 10 prospects from cold outreach shows real product-market fit! As someone also navigating the co-founder search in the B2B/SaaS space, I'd suggest being very specific about the technical stack and architecture decisions you're envisioning. Technical co-founders often want to see that you've thought through the product deeply enough that they can evaluate if it aligns with their expertise.
Also, consider posting on YC's Co-Founder Matching platform if you haven't already - found it to be much higher quality than most places. The automated documentation problem you're solving sounds genuinely painful. Best of luck with the search!
