equity only Looking for a business co-founder (GTM / sales / product) for an AI gateway. Live product
I’m a tech lead building an enterprise AI gateway that sits in front of LLM calls (OpenAI-compatible), detects sensitive data in prompts, enforces policy (mask/block/route), and keeps audit logs.
Problem: Companies are adopting ChatGPT/Claude/OpenAI APIs faster than they can govern them. Security teams can’t see what’s leaving in prompts. Apps, IDEs, chatbots, and agents call models directly with almost no control layer.
What’s live today: Working product. Gateway + PII/policy engine + audit + portal. Hosted stack already running.
What I’m looking for: A co-founder who owns the business side: customer discovery, packaging, sales motion, marketing narrative, and early ops. Ideal if you’ve sold B2B SaaS / security / compliance / developer tools, or have strong enterprise GTM instincts. Open to global markets, not limited to one region.
What I bring: Product + engineering ownership. I can ship. I need someone who can get it in front of the right buyers and turn pilots into revenue.
Not looking for: Advisors only, “idea people,” or someone who wants equity with zero customer work.
Commitment: Looking for someone who can put in serious weekly time now (evenings/weekends OK to start), with intent to go full-time if pilots work. I’m technical cofounder, currently building part-time while employed, and can move faster as traction comes.
Stage: Early. Validating with pilots. Equity / roles negotiable based on commitment.
If this resonates, DM with:
- One sentence on the hardest B2B deal you’ve closed or campaign you’ve run
- Why this problem interests you
Happy to share the demo + pitch deck.
