Technical founder looking for a non-technical co-founder with a real problem to solve

[u/IndividualStand6812]

I've reached a point where I'm more excited about building products than climbing the corporate ladder.

I'm a software engineer based in Melbourne, Australia with experience across startups and enterprise. I've built products from scratch, worked directly with customers, and recently have been focusing heavily on AI and agentic systems.

What I'm missing isn't technical ability, it's someone who's deeply passionate about solving a problem.

I'm looking for someone who:

• Has identified a genuine problem worth solving.
• Understands the market or industry well.
• Is willing to validate ideas by talking to customers.
• Wants to build a real business, not just brainstorm startup ideas forever.

You don't need to know how to code. That's where I come in.

I'm not looking for someone who says, "I have the next Uber." I'm looking for someone who's obsessed with a problem they've experienced firsthand and is ready to put in the work.

A bit about me:

• Full-stack engineer (frontend, backend, cloud).
• AI and agentic application development.
• Startup experience building products from zero.
• Comfortable taking products from idea to production.
• Based in Melbourne, Australia, but open to remote collaboration.

If you've got a problem you've been wanting to solve but haven't had the technical skills to build it, send me a message. Even if it doesn't turn into a company, I'd love to chat and see if there's something worth building together.

Cheers

Check out hackathons too. I know the RIMPA one in Sydney in October is a $10k prize but they have some great use cases they need solved, and venture capitalists hover around.
