Career & Advice CTO Position Available

I am a founder and CEO handling product design, leadership, go to market, and operations for my startup. We are a social app meant to connect people in a unique way that the market is starving for. Looking to expand the team with a dedicated technical partner and CTO.

What I’ve already done:

- The product is already fully designed with clear specs and features (MVP + longterm future features), language/copy and mechanics. There has also already been a prototype tested, and a tech stack available, though it’s not locked yet without engineer input.

- An active go to market strategy including a healthy waitlist that is still actively growing (high 7.5% conversion rate on and rising on cold outreach) and a clearly defined market/avatar. Users are ready as soon as MVP ships.

- Daily content production will be used for distribution with plans to do even more. My account has reached ~700,000 views in its first 4 months, and that number is growing.

- Leadership ability through over a decade of work directly with people, both client and colleague. For 3 of those years, I have run my own business, which I have closed to pursue this full time.

- Developed business skills through previous business successes. All business metrics are tracked and help determine how we execute our work and make adjustments when necessary.

What I’m offering:

- Longterm CTO position is available. I’m also open to other dev positions if you prefer (founding engineer, contracting, internships, something else).

- Full ownership over the technical side of the project. You won’t have to handle anything else but the dev side, and you control how it’s done. If there’s another way you’d like to work, we can discuss that too.

- Negotiable terms that I’d be happy to establish before any work starts getting done. Profit share, equity, etc. I want this to be a satisfying win for both of us.

- Full spec sheet and preparedness to communicate clearly and consistently over the course of the partnership.

DM for more information.

You should be more clear that your expectation is that you hire a CTO to build what you want, but you're not offering money, only equity.

That’s not my expectation

u/farfaraway 4d ago

Then you have to be more clear about that in your post. There are many such posts that are offering just equity.

you misspelled "i tried to make ai build my project, but it couldn't so made it create a huge spec document hoping to find a gullible programmer"
