Partner with me · Equity CTO

Your CTO — before you can afford one.

You’re a non-technical founder with a real idea. Investors want to see a product. Building a product takes engineers. Engineers cost money you’ll have after the raise. Every early founder knows this loop — most get stuck in it.

Here’s my answer: I become your CTO under contract, now. I build your app and your entire technical side while you raise — and I’m compensated with a percentage plus company ownership when the funding lands.

The engagement

What you get

Your MVP, built end-to-end

I’m a dedicated MVP builder. From first wireframe to Play Store release, the product gets designed, architected and shipped — by one senior engineer who has done it for 12+ years.

Every technical decision, handled

Stack choices, architecture, vendors, releases — the entire technical side of your company is my problem, not yours. You get a CTO, not a contractor.

Weekly progress meetings

A standing weekly check-in, in plain English. You always know exactly where the product stands and what ships next.

You focus on funding & marketing

The division of labour is explicit: you own fundraising, marketing and customers. I own everything technical. That’s the whole point of the model.

Investor & pitch support

Technical due-diligence answers, architecture slides, roadmap credibility — when investors ask hard questions, your CTO is in the room.

Your future team, hired right

When funding lands, I interview and hire your first engineers and hand over a codebase they’ll thank you for. I’ve trained 100+ developers — building teams is familiar ground.

Compensation

Flexible by design: pay as we build, or a percentage plus company ownership when you raise. We agree the structure before a single line of code is written.

Proof, not promises

Live engagement: Study Quran

Study Quran

As equity CTO, I built the startup’s complete Android product in two months — working in my spare time. Google sign-in, a teacher marketplace, live class scheduling, free trials and secure payments, integrated against the founding team’s backend APIs alongside their admin panel. One senior engineer, zero to Play Store, while the founders focused on the raise.

MVP stage

E-commerce startup

Full mobile MVP for an early-stage e-commerce venture — product, architecture and delivery handled end-to-end under the same partnership model.

Language-learning app

A gamified education product in the Duolingo mold. I own the technical build while the founder validates the market.

Fit matters

I don’t say yes to every idea

I take on a small number of partnerships at a time — the model only works when both sides commit. Here’s what I look for:

You’re committed

This model only works with founders who are all-in on their venture. If it’s a side experiment, I’m not the right partner.

You own the business side

I take the technical hassle completely off your plate — which means you must be ready to drive fundraising and marketing with the same intensity.

We put it in writing

Scope, percentage and equity are agreed up front in a clear contract. Clean terms protect both of us and make your cap table investor-ready.

Have an idea worth building?

Send me a short pitch: the problem, who has it, and why you’re the one to solve it. If it’s a fit, we talk the same week.
