Seeking Technical Co-Founder for an Existing Analytics/Financial App with Early Traction

Hey gang - been bootstrap building a really unique approach to financial and strategic scenario modelling. Special sauce is that our UI is entirely "node-based" and Founders/CFOs VISUALLY create scenarios using a decision-tree approach. Think Excel meets Miro.

Tech is mature enough to have some early adopters and we've partnered with a couple of incubators/accelerators that are starting to send their Startups our way (Pre-seed through Series A).

Traction - 10 companies using our tech; range from a funded gaming company to a seed-stage medtech to Series A size B2B SaaS company.

Been building mostly with comp-sci co-op students for the past few years but, with the flywheel starting to pick up, really need to expand the founding team. Currently have a Fractional CTO (1 hour a week) who focusses on high-level concepts only. Goal is to have someone that gets their hands in the codebase and really drive the build and roadmap.

Product Demo (a few months old now) - https://youtu.be/5p00fS2d3c8

Tech Stack - Javascript/Typescript, Node.js, Golang, React, AWS, Postgres database; the Golang part is pretty important (but also easy to learn) as it drives our entire calculation engine.

Ideal co-founder:

  • we're based in Vancouver. A reasonable time zone overlap would be ideal
  • at this stage role would be mostly/all equity
  • able to dedicate 20 hours per week
  • able to help maintain current codebase, add select features, and mentor/guide any junior developers
  • onboard for a bootstrap approach with the potential for raising some capital/more full-time in Q2 of 2023

    Hi Jon,

    You should consider applying to MassLight. They invest capital and software engineers in startups in exchange for equity. They often even take on CTO roles with the startups they invest in. They can work with startups based in the US, Europe, and Canada.
