Technical Co-founder

Looking for a Technical
Co-founder in the UK?

I'm selectively open to co-founding the right company. If you're an exceptional founder with a compelling vision, let's explore whether we're a fit.

This Isn't for Everyone

I take on at most one co-founder opportunity per year. Most of my work is fractional CTO consulting — time-bound, cash-based engagements that help founders build and scale without giving up equity.

But occasionally, I meet a founder building something I can't stop thinking about. Something where I want to be all-in, not just advisory.

If you're looking for a technical co-founder who brings enterprise experience to startup speed, who can build the architecture and lead the team from day one to Series A and beyond — keep reading.

What I'm Looking For

The criteria that make a co-founder opportunity compelling

Strong Founder-Market Fit

You deeply understand the problem you're solving. You've lived it, researched it, or have unique insight others don't.

Ambitious Scale

You're not building a lifestyle business. You have a clear vision for how this becomes a significant company.

Values Alignment

You believe in building things right. You value transparency, long-term thinking, and doing right by users and stakeholders.

Complementary Skills

You bring domain expertise, business acumen, sales ability, or industry connections. We don't need two technical people.

What I Bring as a Technical Co-founder

15+ years of building platforms that scale, leading teams through hypergrowth, and helping startups raise successfully.

  • 15+ years building scalable platforms (Deloitte Digital, Elavon, startups)
  • Full-stack technical leadership (architecture, engineering, DevOps)
  • Financial modeling and investor-readiness expertise
  • Experience scaling teams from 5 to 50+ engineers
  • Series A due diligence and fundraising support
  • AWS, Kubernetes, microservices, AI/ML integration

Industries I'm Most Interested In

Fintech

Payments, lending, wealth management, crypto infrastructure

Healthtech

Digital health, clinical tools, health data platforms

B2B SaaS

Enterprise software, developer tools, workflow automation

Proptech

Property management, real estate tech, construction tech

How This Usually Works

Co-founder relationships are too important to rush

1

Initial Conversation

30-minute call to understand your vision, the problem you're solving, and why you're looking for a technical co-founder.

2

Trial Period

Most partnerships start with a paid advisory engagement (1-3 months). This lets us test working chemistry before committing.

3

Partnership Decision

If we both feel it's right, we formalize the co-founder relationship with clear equity terms, roles, and expectations.

Think We Might Be a Fit?

Tell me about what you're building. I read every message personally.

When you reach out, it helps to include:

  • 1The problem you're solving and why it matters to you
  • 2Your background and what you bring to the table
  • 3Why you're looking for a technical co-founder specifically
  • 4Where you are in the journey (idea, MVP, revenue, etc.)
