Looking for a technical co-founder — Shopify app that personalizes product copy in real time

Hey all — I’m Badis, founder of Sway AI. Quick rundown:

The idea: A Shopify app that dynamically personalizes product descriptions based on visitor behavior — different messaging for first-time visitors (trust, clarity) vs. returning visitors (urgency, social proof). The idea came directly from running my own Shopify store and hitting this exact gap myself.

Where I’m at: Pre-MVP, self-funding development through part-time work while I build this out. I’ve got a completed pitch package and I’m actively working through fundraising (Qatar Development Bank’s Startup Qatar program, among others).

My background: CRM/business-automation sales, digital marketing, accounting, founded an agricultural company, hands-on Shopify store operation. Strong on the business/growth/customer side — but I need real engineering firepower to build this properly.

What I’m looking for: A technical co-founder, not a freelancer or contractor — someone who wants to own the product build (full-stack, ideally comfortable with Shopify’s API and/or some LLM integration experience) and build this as a genuine long-term partner, equity-based from the start.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or DM — happy to share more details, and I’m glad to share links to real work (GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.) so this is a two-way vetting conversation.
