Looking for a Technical Co-Founder — Mobility/Vehicle Assistance Startup 🚗
Hi everyone,
I'm an early-stage founder working on a startup idea focused on making roadside vehicle assistance faster, more transparent, and easier to access.
I'm currently looking for a technical co-founder / founding developer who is interested in building the product with me from the ground up.
The problem
When someone experiences a vehicle breakdown or needs urgent roadside assistance, finding a trustworthy mechanic/service provider nearby can be surprisingly difficult.
People often have to rely on random searches, phone calls, local contacts, or whatever mechanic happens to be available. Pricing and service quality can also be unclear.
The product I'm exploring
The idea is to create a platform where a vehicle owner can:
Request roadside assistance
Find nearby mechanics/service providers
Share their location
Get basic AI-assisted troubleshooting
Compare estimated service prices
View ratings/reviews
Find nearby garages, petrol pumps and other automotive services
There would eventually be separate experiences for customers and service providers.
The long-term goal is to build something closer to an on-demand assistance platform for vehicle problems, rather than simply another directory of mechanics.
Where I'm currently at
This is pre-MVP.
I have the product concept, feature ideas and business direction, but I haven't built the application yet.
I'm intentionally looking for a technical partner before investing heavily in development, because I want the person building the technology to have a meaningful role in shaping the product rather than simply receiving a list of requirements.
Who I'm looking for
Ideally, someone comfortable with some combination of:
Flutter / React Native / native mobile development
Backend/API development
Databases
Maps & location services
Authentication
Payments
AI/LLM APIs
You don't need to know everything. A strong full-stack/mobile developer who is willing to learn and make architectural decisions with me would be more valuable than someone who simply follows instructions.
Equity / compensation
I want to be completely transparent about this part.
I currently don't have funding and cannot offer a salary.
I'm therefore not looking for a freelancer to work for free.
I'm looking for someone who is interested in joining as a genuine early technical co-founder/founding team member, taking ownership of the technology side and receiving meaningful equity in the company in return.
The exact equity would be discussed based on:
Time commitment
Responsibilities
Technical ownership
Long-term involvement
Contribution to the MVP and company
Any agreement would be formalized properly, including vesting and IP/ownership terms.
If the startup gains traction and we raise funding or generate revenue, the intention is for the founding team to transition into paid roles.
What I bring
I'm not expecting a developer to simply build an app and disappear.
I want to work together on:
Product strategy
User research
Business model
Customer/provider validation
MVP planning
Marketing/growth
Partnerships
Day-to-day startup decisions
I'm looking for someone who wants to build a company, not just code an app.
Why I'm posting this now
I'm aware that an idea alone isn't worth much.
That's exactly why I want to start with a small MVP, validate it with real users and service providers, and iterate based on feedback rather than spending months building unnecessary features.
If you're interested, please DM me with:
Your technical background
Technologies you work with
Previous projects/GitHub/portfolio
Your approximate availability
Whether you're looking for a serious long-term co-founder opportunity
I'm happy to share the more detailed product concept privately with genuinely interested people.
This is an early-stage, high-risk opportunity. There is no salary at the current stage and equity is not a guaranteed financial return. I'm looking for someone who understands that and still wants to build.
If we find the right technical partner, I'm prepared to commit seriously to taking this from idea → MVP → validation → business.
