Technical and non technical founders seek another technical founder for a boring, underserved healthcare saas with traction
Our product is RehabAlpha.com
It's designed for occupational, speech, and physical therapists working in skilled nursing and other long-term care facilities.
It's a non sexy, niche space, but it's underserved, lucrative, and the people in it are great. (And it has some fun technical challenges.)
There's one company with a Monopoly in this space - Net Health. You can see their product by searching "RehabOptima" on youtube. (Yeah, the one that looks straight out of 2002.)
I'm two years into building this thing. I have customers committed to beta test when we launch this summer. Now we're looking for a 1% engineer to give us some added firepower and redundancy as we move from "just a product" to "a real company".
My cofounder and I are both named Ben and we're both in LA. (I'm in Louisiana. He's in Los Angeles).
Reach out if you're a great coder, hard working, and you have a good heart (and the ability to compromise and resolve disagreements).
This is exactly the kind of niche SaaS where the product can win because the market is boring, painful, and ignored.
The positioning is strong: therapists in long-term care facilities, outdated incumbent, committed beta customers, and a real summer launch window. That already sounds more serious than most “AI wrapper” products here.
The one thing I’d pressure-test before launch is the name. RehabAlpha is clear, but it may create the wrong first impression. “Alpha” can feel a little aggressive or performance-bro for a product serving occupational, speech, and physical therapists in care facilities. This category needs trust, care, reliability, and clinical calm before anything else.
A name like Lyriso .com would fit the direction better if the goal is to become the modern therapy workflow platform for long-term care. It feels more human, care-oriented, and durable while still leaving room beyond rehab if the product grows into broader facility workflow, documentation, outcomes, or care coordination.
Since you already have beta customers committed and are moving from product to company, this is probably the right time to decide whether RehabAlpha is just the MVP name or the brand you want therapists and facilities to remember long term.
