3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants
Join the Ground Floor of a Potential Industry Disruptor.
I'm the solo founder of an early-stage, stealth startup building the next-generation online marketplace / network for local services.
We've already achieved strong early traction and are in discussions with interested investors.
This is an opportunity to join as a true partner and technical leader from the very beginning — helping shape not just the product, but the company itself.
Your Role
Own the Tech Stack : Lead architecture, design, and hands-on development of our web app from the ground up.
Build the MVP : Rapidly develop a scalable, high-quality MVP that validates our concept and supports early user growth.
Strategic Partner : Work closely with me on product direction, roadmap, and go-to-market strategy.
Fundraising & Scale : Help shape our technical story for investors and prepare for our first engineering hires post-funding.
The Offer
Equity-Only (Pre-Funding) : Receive a meaningful co-founder-level equity stake, reflecting your ownership and commitment at this stage.
Commitment : Minimum of ~10 focused hours per week initially, with flexibility to ramp up as we approach funding.
Who You Are
Proven experience building and shipping full-stack web apps (ideally React, Next.js, Node, or similar modern stack).
Strong architectural instincts and ability to balance MVP speed with scalability.
Entrepreneurial mindset — resourceful, ambitious, and comfortable in fast-moving, undefined environments.
Vision-driven — you think beyond code and understand how technology drives business outcomes.
Why This Matters
We're aiming to modernize a huge, fragmented market that's been stuck in the past for too long.
The opportunity here is massive — and we're already seeing validation from both users and investors.
If you've ever wanted to build something from zero, this is your shot.
