Looking for a technical co-founder to build a UK solar software company
Hi everyone,
I’m Ryan, a 20-year-old founder based in the UK. I’m looking for a technical co-founder or future CTO who would be interested in helping me build a software company from an early stage.
The company is called Noxki, and the first product I’m developing is Solaknox, a software platform for UK solar installation companies.
The aim is to bring quoting, roof design, customer management and project workflows into one platform. Many solar installers still rely on spreadsheets, separate systems and manual processes, which can make quoting and managing installations slower than it needs to be.
The long-term vision includes:
Solar quote and system calculations
Satellite roof mapping and panel placement
Customer and lead management
Editable proposals and pricing
Survey and installation workflows
Customer communication
Compliance and project tracking
I have already created a website and an early interactive demo to show the idea and customer journey. I am not a software engineer, but I have been using AI coding tools to develop the concept and understand what needs to be built.
I’m looking for someone who:
Has experience with full-stack web development
Is interested in SaaS, renewable energy or start-ups
Can help make technical and product decisions
Is comfortable joining at a very early stage
Wants to build a real business rather than work on a short freelance project
Is reliable, ambitious and willing to speak directly with potential customers
This would initially be a co-founder opportunity rather than a highly paid position. Equity and ownership would need to be discussed carefully based on commitment, skills, responsibilities and what each person contributes.
I’m also open to developing the idea together. I do not expect someone to simply build everything I have already planned. I want a technical co-founder who can challenge the idea, improve the product and help decide what the first realistic version should include.
My strengths are the product vision, learning the market, finding potential customers, gathering feedback, sales and building the business side. I’m looking for someone whose technical strengths complement mine.
I understand that an idea alone is not enough. My intention is to validate the problem with solar installers, build a focused MVP, find pilot customers and develop the company properly.
Please message me if interested would love to talk
