Proven founder looking for a dev to hire/partner with on a fun side project

About Me & The Project:

I've founded and grown a few bootstrapped SaaS businesses to 6-7 figures in ARR. And sold a few too.

Currently working full time on my latest bootstrapped SaaS, SparkLoop.

For a while now, I've had a side project idea I can't get out of my head. Based on my own experience as a creator, plus that of my (pretty large) audience in the creator space.

I am perfectly placed to market and sell this product. And I know it'll reach low 6-figures in ARR very quickly.

But I don't have time to build AND market the product. I can only spare a few hours per week.

(plus I'm a terrible, terrible, terrible self-taught coder who hasn't been allowed to touch our code base in years)

So I'm looking to hire (on an hourly/project basis) or partner up with (revenue/equity split) a smart developer who wants to work on a fun project and get some revenue points on the board!

The product itself requires probably:

  • 2-3 days work to build the basics that we can charge real money for
  • 2-3 weeks of work to build a version that's ready for prime-time (likely less)
  • big roadmap of additional features that could be added afterwards to boost revenue

About You:

You're a competent full-stack developer and have shipped full projects of your own before that have been used by real people.

I have no preference on stack, as long as it's something relatively easy for others to pick up if we don't continue working together long term.

You'd ideally have:

  • some design chops (but this is very optional)
  • experience with Stripe (less optional)
  • experience building integrations with eg Zapier (optional but preferred)

It would be helpful if you were somewhat interested in the creator economy too (think courses, info products etc).

Especially if you're more interested in partnering rather than being paid directly.


How to Find Out More:

Please shoot me a quick Twitter DM or email with:

  • your name
  • a link to somewhere I can find you online
  • why you're interested
  • whether you're interested in partnering, working part-time for pay, or both
  • a link to something awesome you've previously built (or some other very compelling reasoning why we'd be a good fit to work on this project together)

Thanks!

    Proven founder with a fun side project and 2-3 week timeline is exactly the kind of engagement I take on. What's the idea?
