New social media platform designed for creator collabloration

Looking for a CTO to co-build ArtistLink — the creative platform artists actually want

I’m building ArtistLink: a social platform for creative collaboration, commission, and community. Think Behance meets Patreon meets Discord—but designed from the ground up to empower artists, not exploit them.

We’re early-stage, with a clear vision and strong momentum. I’m a product designer and founder with deep experience in creative ecosystems, community building, and pitch strategy. What I need now is a technical partner who’s excited to:

  • Architect scalable systems for discovery, messaging, and commission workflows
  • Build intuitive tools that make creative collaboration seamless
  • Co-create a product that blends commerce and community, with features that feel like they were made by artists, for artists

If you care about empowering creators, hate generic platforms, and want to build something meaningful from zero to one, let’s talk.

DM me or reply here if you’re curious. Bonus points if you love music, visual art, or mythological banter.

I'm excited to hear from ctos who are community minded.. this idea will change social media creators. Someone who has SaaS experience and backend and specifically social media experience. Please message me if this sound like you. My goal is to make us millionaires our employees millionaires and to develop and change the artist culture in America. Let's change the world together

    Love the vision here building platforms that truly serve artists instead of exploiting them is overdue. I’m not a solo CTO, but at Zaaric we often partner with early-stage founders in exactly this spot: taking the vision and co-building the first scalable version while they look for the right long-term technical partner.

    We’ve done this for SaaS and social/community platforms before helping founders go from idea → MVP in ~30 days, plus backend architecture + growth support. If it’s helpful, happy to chat about how we could get ArtistLink moving fast without waiting on the perfect CTO match.

    I have. Basic MVP set up as long as a 4 phase 3 year growth plan. To give an idea of the founder team a 5 person equal vote board built of myself CTO, ux designer, marketing managers, and CFO /funding mgrr. Let's change the way multimedia professionals interact with each other.
