Seeking Technical Co-Founder | CalyLife | AI + SaaS Startup | MVP Complete | US and Canada Only

When life throws someone a curveball (surgery recovery, a sudden caregiving responsibility, a job loss, a relocation, an emergency), the hardest part usually isn't knowing what to do next. It's actually doing it: making the calls, booking the appointments, coordinating the logistics, all while already overwhelmed.

I'm building CalyLife to close that gap. Instead of just recommending a next step, the platform generates a plan, the user approves it, and the AI agent helps carry it forward on the user's behalf, within limits the user sets. Think of it as the proactive support a trusted friend or family member would offer, powered by AI, at a scale no individual could match.

Where things stand today:

•         MVP built and validated, demonstrating the core product workflow

•         Customer research and competitive analysis completed

•         Full business plan completed

Who I'm looking for

A technical co-founder who wants to own the technical vision and architecture of a company from the ground up, not just build features, but make the calls on how it's built. Because this platform will handle sensitive personal information and coordinate real-world actions on people's behalf, security, privacy, and trust have to be designed in from day one, not bolted on later.

Particularly interested in someone with experience in:

•         AI and LLM applications, especially agent-based / autonomous workflows

•         Security, identity management, data privacy, or risk management

Also valuable:

•         Full-stack software development

•         Designing and building secure SaaS platforms

•         Cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

•         Mobile and web application development

Compensation

This is an early-stage startup, so there's no salary right now. This is a true co-founder role with equity, not a job. I'm generally thinking in the range of 15 to 40% ownership depending on experience, timing of entry, and the value you bring, with the specifics to be worked out together once we know we're a fit. My goal is to move the company to paying salaries as we secure funding and start generating revenue.

About me

My background is in quality, risk management, and operations within biotech and pharma. I bring product vision, customer discovery, business strategy, partnerships, and execution. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I naturally gravitate toward streamlining processes and designing efficient, scalable systems. I'm looking for a partner who wants to lead the technical side of that same mindset: building a company, not just an application, from day one.

I'm based in the US, on the East Coast, and looking for a co-founder based in the US or Canada.

If this resonates, DM me. I'll share the product walkthrough, roadmap, and business plan, and we can talk through whether it's a fit.

Seeking Technical Co-Founder | CalyLife | AI + SaaS Startup | MVP Complete

Hi everyone,

This is an early-stage startup, so there is no salary at this time. This is a true co-founder opportunity with equity, with ownership based on experience, level of commitment, and the value each founder brings to the company.

My goal is to transition the company to paying salaries as we secure funding and begin generating revenue. Until then, I'm looking for someone who believes in the vision and wants to help build a company with long-term potential.

I'm looking for a technical co-founder to join me in building an AI-first startup focused on solving a problem that millions of people experience, but few companies address effectively.

Life doesn't stop when someone is recovering from surgery, relocating, caring for a family member, facing an unexpected emergency, or simply navigating life without a strong support system. Existing solutions provide information or connect users with services, but the responsibility for figuring out what comes next and making everything happen still falls on the individual.

The idea for this platform came from recognizing how overwhelming it can be to manage life's responsibilities during times of crisis, especially for people without a reliable support network. I believe technology should do more than answer questions or point people in the right direction. It should actively help people move through difficult situations.

My vision is to build an AI platform that understands a person's situation, anticipates what they're likely to need next, and helps drive meaningful actions forward on their behalf. The goal isn't to replace human support, but to provide the kind of proactive assistance a trusted friend or family member would offer when life becomes overwhelming. Instead of simply recommending the next step, the platform helps make progress happen.This isn't just an idea. Over the past year, I've been validating the concept, refining the product, and preparing the business for launch.

Current progress:

  • MVP completed and core product requirements defined
  • Customer research and competitive analysis completed
  • Business plan completed

Who I'm looking for

I'm looking for a technical co-founder who enjoys solving difficult problems and wants to build a company from the ground up.

Because the platform will manage sensitive personal information and coordinate important life events, I'm looking for someone who understands that security, privacy, reliability, and trust must be built into the platform from day one.

Experience in one or more of the following would be ideal:

  • Full-stack software development
  • AI and LLM applications and agent-based workflows
  • Designing and building secure SaaS platforms
  • Cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Security, identity management, data privacy, or risk management
  • Mobile and web application development
  • Would be okay with Equity until company gets funding, then salary.

About me

I come from a background in quality, risk management, and operations within the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. My strengths are product vision, customer discovery, business strategy, partnerships, and execution.

I'm also a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB), so I naturally approach problems by streamlining processes, eliminating unnecessary complexity, and designing efficient, scalable systems. Those principles are central to how I'm building this platform.

I'm looking for someone who wants to lead the technical vision, make key architectural decisions, and help build a company, not just an application, from day one.

If this sounds interesting, send me a DM. I'd be happy to share more about the product, the vision, and what I've accomplished so far to see if we're a good fit. I'm located in US, on the east coast.

What client red flags made you walk away, or wish you had?

A close friend of mine once represented a client who later made some outrageous false accusations against him and even tried to punch him in court after being told that her case had no chance of success. Looking back, there were probably warning signs. He took the case because he felt sorry for her since she was involved in a bitter alimony dispute with her husband, even though she had already fired a previous attorney. Have you ever declined to take on a client or decided to withdraw from representation because you noticed red flags? Or have you accepted a case and later realized that the client turned out to be much more trouble than the matter was worth?

How do you document initial consultations, and has it ever come back to bite you?

I'm curious how solo and small firms handle documentation during and after an initial consultation.

Do you record consultations or rely on handwritten notes?

How much detail do you capture?

Have you ever had a client later say, "You never told me that" or dispute expectations?

Have scope misunderstandings, fee disputes, or bar complaints ever made you wish you had documented more?

If you could improve one part of your intake/documentation process, what would it be?

Looking to see what current best practices are.

Not looking for legal advice or trying to sell anything, just interested in how different firms approach this.

I heard some horror stories and am trying to see what how different firms handle the process.
