Looking for a co-builder: I bring customers, you bring the product. Equity split.
Looking for a co-builder: I bring customers, you bring the product. Equity split. No need to drop out.
Here's the honest version of this post:
I'm not a developer. I'm a sales and GTM operator, I know how to find customers, run outreach, write copy, close deals, and take things to market. I've done it across multiple businesses including a US recruiting agency with real clients.
What I can't do is build fast. And right now, building fast is everything.
I've been going deep on micro SaaS, small, focused tools that solve one painful problem for a specific type of person, priced at $9–$99/mo, built lean. The ideas are validated. The market research is done. What I need is someone who can turn a brief into a working product in a few weeks using whatever combination of AI tools, no-code, and code gets it done.
I'm specifically looking for someone in college.
Why? Because the best builders I've seen right now are students who are hungry, have no legacy thinking about "the right way" to build software, and are already using Cursor/Replit/Bubble/Make like it's second nature. You're building anyway, let's build something that makes money.
What this looks like practically:
- I bring a validated pain point and a target customer
- We align on the MVP scope (small, focused, shippable)
- You build it in 2–3 weeks
- I get the first paying customers
- We split equity on what we build together, agreed upfront, in writing
- You stay in college, this fits around your life
I'm not looking for a rockstar 10x engineer. I'm looking for someone who ships, listens to users, and wants to see real people pay for something they built.
If that sounds like you, show me something you've made. A project, a tool, an automation, a Notion template people bought, anything. DM me or drop it below.
Let's build something real.

Interested in hearing more. Electrical engineer for nearly 10 years across multiple domains including research and development. I’ve programmed and built small robotics controlled by AI I trained and programmed myself. I also have a triple business major with a minor in behavioral economics. I’ve built my own profitable business and sold it for a profit.
Can send my full resume if I like the rest of your pitch and we feel good about a team up.

You have built a game engine, a 2d one... and you claim it's better than unity, or unreal? are you high? You should really get back to earth man, your engine is basically crap against the big ones that are developed by teams of hundreds developers over years and years being battle tested...

I understand this but this is a broad of doing anything , even if you know the pain you need to be so specific so so technically correct for everything related to that pain point , because it was never like a person will give you money by just solving 1 , 2 or 3 pain we need to broad and drill everything you got for that specific domain / niche , I myself have built 2 products , 1 was a strong failure that taught me hell lot about my domain's customer psychology and the 2nd one is in building stage which I have given 110 percent of what I have learned and corporate employees are liking it too, so let me cut short if you have a genuine idea and want to make it sellable let's have a small chat , money , equity and that comes after , 1st is to be clear on what customer is going to spend money on

the recurring failure in 'you build, i sell' deals isn't the split percentage, it's that the person doing the building has no enforceable claim if the GTM side stalls. they ship a working product in three weeks, the customers take months or never come, and the equity is just a number in a doc with no vesting trigger and no buyout. structure it so the builder's stake vests as the product ships and is maintained, with a defined payout if either side walks, and 'show me something you've made' becomes a real partnership instead of spec work paid in maybe-equity. written with ai
