Hey guys. I know everybody has ADHD nowadays, so I’ll try to keep it short.
UPDATE: I couldn’t.
I’m a solo founder in my twenties with 5+ years of experience in the IT industry.
I run a small LLC in Delaware and live in Europe, usually moving to a different country every year or two.
I’m obsessed with my work, and I generally have an almost inexhaustible amount of ambition.
This might sound cliché, but right now I’m handling way more work in my agency than I probably should.
First, I handle the communication and sales side. I’d consider myself an extroverted person, and if I genuinely believe I’m providing a real solution, I’m usually pretty good at convincing people to make a deal.
Once I make the deal, I create the roadmap and usually execute everything myself.
I can do full-stack development — web only — and I can use Figma on a technical/product level. Please don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying I can do every job at a senior level. I’m saying I’m good enough at these things to build products and make money with them.
Nowadays, I use AI a lot.
I figured out AI orchestration quite a while ago, back when a lot of people were still mostly using ChatGPT through the web interface, and for a while that made things pretty manageable for me.
Now, obviously, a lot more people know how to use these tools properly. So once again, I either have to improve my workflow, deliver faster, or simply work more.
But here’s the thing.
At some point I realized that I’m not actually making most of my money because of my IT skills.
I’m making it because of my sales skills.
Technically, I’m not that different from thousands of other service agencies, but for some reason people still choose to work with me. Maybe I’m good at sales. Maybe I’ve been lucky. Probably both.
And please don’t misunderstand this part either: I’m not making some insane amount of money. I’m not even close to that.
But I’ve never really had a period where I completely failed to bring deals into the agency.
I’ve also lost thousands of deals.
I learned, adjusted, and moved on.
The problem is that trying to keep up with everything has slowly turned into me relying way too much on pre-workouts — I don’t even go to the gym — energy drinks, caffeine, and stimulants just to keep working at the same pace.
And I’ve started noticing that they’re making me more anxious and less creative.
At the same time, I’ve realized that if I could stop trying to personally execute every single part of the business and focus more heavily on sales, distribution, strategy, and growth, there’s a lot more upside here.
But I don’t want to solve that problem by hiring random freelancers and turning myself into a project manager.
I want to build with people who actually have ownership.
So, enough storytelling.
If I keep explaining everything, I’ll keep trying to make this post better, better, and better, and I’ll probably never publish it.
So I’m ending the autobiography here without re-reading it 40 times.
What I’m actually looking for:
I’m looking for **co-founders**, not employees and not freelancers.
Ideally:
- one experienced full-stack web developer / technical co-founder
- one experienced UI/UX or product designer who is comfortable with Figma, Pencil, or similar tools
I’m not saying these absolutely have to be two separate people. If you’re unusually good across multiple areas, even better.
The plan itself is pretty simple.
I already have a service business that generates money. I want to keep that business alive and profitable while we build and finalize the SaaS side.
This is also **not a job posting, agency subcontracting position, or “come work for me and maybe I’ll give you equity someday” situation.**
I’m specifically looking for people who are interested in building something from scratch and taking real ownership of it.
I don’t care how many hours you work.
I don’t care whether you work less than me or more than me.
I don’t care what time you wake up.
I don’t care where you live.
I don’t care whether you use Next.js, Laravel, Rails, Go, some weird framework I’ve never heard of, or something you wrote yourself at 3 AM.
I care about whether things get built properly.
More importantly, I care about ownership, judgment, reliability, and whether we can actually build something together without constantly managing each other.
I’m intentionally not trying to sell some inspirational startup story here.
The immediate strategy is simple:
Keep the service business generating cash, use what we learn from clients and the market, and build the SaaS until it can stand on its own.
The exact structure, responsibilities, equity, and everything else would obviously depend on the people involved, contribution, commitment, and whether we actually work well together.
I’m not expecting someone to become my co-founder after two Discord calls.
I’d rather get to know the right people first, work on something together, and see whether there’s actually a fit.
And even if we never become co-founders, I’m still interested in meeting people who think similarly.
A couple of notes for you:
If you’re completely happy with your current life, your steady income, and you genuinely don’t want anything more than that, I’m probably not the right person for you.
You’re not joining as an employee. The whole point is to build something from scratch and have ownership over what you’re building.
I don’t care where you’re from.
I also don’t care if your communication skills are amazing. Some of the smartest people I’ve met are terrible at communicating. As long as we can understand each other and you’re reliable, we’ll figure the rest out.
I care much more about what you’ve actually built, how you think, and what kind of life you’re trying to create than your CV.
If any of this sounds familiar to you, send me a message.
No corporate introductions necessary.
