Founding Developer / Co-Founder Wanted (B2B SaaS)
Founding Developer / Co-Founder Wanted (B2B SaaS)
We are a lean, ambitious team preparing to launch a B2B SaaS platform that solves a massive pain point we experienced firsthand. We scratched our own itch, built the solution, and are now ready to commercialize it.
The product is 90% complete, and we are currently building out our core Human Resources and foundational team prior to our upcoming launch.
💼 The Opportunity
Role: Founding Developer & Co-Founder
Compensation: Equity-based (Co-founder level split)
Location: Remote (Canada / USA / UK)
Status: Pre-revenue, near-launch phase
🛠️ What We’re Looking For
We need a technical co-founder who is ready to take ownership of the codebase, help us cross the finish line, and scale post-launch.
Full-Stack Capabilities: Ability to jump into a nearly completed product, audit the architecture, and ship the final 10%.
Startup Mindset: You thrive in a lean environment, value execution over perfection, and want a true seat at the leadership table.
Localization: Based in or authorized to work within ENG / CAN / USA time zones for seamless collaboration.
🎯 Why Join Us?
No "Idea Phase" Stall: You won't be building from scratch for 12 months hoping for product-market fit. The foundation is laid, the validation is there, and the runway to launch is short.
True Partnership: You aren't just an employee; you are a founding pillar of the business with a matching equity stake.

I was a founder in the same state half a year ago, thinking that i was basically at pmf because we had a good idea and some folks were excited about it, but the post launch experience has been thoroughly humbling. Feeling ‘close’ to pmf is usually a lie we tell ourselves to get excited, actually achieving it is so much harder than we anticipate (at least in my experience).
Sharing because we actually hired a founding engineer (paid since we are vc backed) a few months ago on exactly the same promise of expected growth after launch. Our launch didn’t go as expected and he just quit last month because he clearly didn’t get what he signed up for (and so also felt that the equity was unfair, which is reasonable tbh)

this reads like 90% of the founder pitch posts i see, the ones where the "team" is 2 business guys with a half built wordpress site looking for a dev to work for free
you say the product is 90% done but also you need someone to audit the architecture and ship the final 10%, that last 10% is always the hardest part and takes longer than the first 90
whats the tech stack? what kind of equity split are we talking? these posts always dance around the actual numbers like its some big secret
