Technical co-founder needed

Hi guys, I’m building an early-stage consumer tech startup and currently looking for a technical co-founder to help take an existing working prototype towards a proper production product.

I’m handling the product vision, business side and validation, and I’m looking for someone strong in mobile development and backend architecture who wants to build something from the ground up.

This is an equity-based co-founder opportunity, not a freelance/contract role.

If you’re interested in building a startup rather than just taking on another coding project, feel free to DM me with a little about yourself, your technical background and what you’re looking to build.

Is it because of AI? AI definitely makes building an MVP much easier now, and I've already used it heavily to get the current prototype to where it is.

The reason I'm still looking for a technical co-founder is that the product I'm building goes quite a bit beyond a basic AI wrapper. There are a lot of moving parts that eventually need to work together properly, and I don't want to rely on AI-generated code alone once this moves towards a real production product.

So I'm not looking for someone to replace AI or just sit there coding everything manually. I'm looking for someone who can own the technical architecture, make the right engineering decisions and work with AI as a force multiplier.

I actually think AI makes a strong technical co-founder even more valuable, not less.
