Looking for a technical co-founder to build our fashion-tech MVP

We've been working on a problem statement for over a year, and we're confident that our approach is viable. to build the actual product we're going to need significant investment and we understand that it's difficult to raise that kind of funding based on idea alone.

So, we're thinking of building an MVP with minimal features and validating it and then raising investment.

We're looking for a technical co-founder who can help us build the product

What we can offer is equity in the company.

Please don't try to validate the idea in the comments, we have a mentor and we've already conducted survey's and done our fair share of research. Please dm only if you're willing to help us or if you're interested in joining us.

I'll attach the main problem statement, if it sparks your interest, I'll be happy to explain the details further.

If you're interested, send your GitHub, past projects, or any profile that shows your work. If you don't have a public portfolio, that's fine too, we'll have a short skills assessment to evaluate whether you're a fit before moving forward. DM us either way.

How do you currently go from sketch to tech pack? Designing a fix, want to sanity-check it against real designers

I've spent the last couple years working out a platform for fashion designers, still at the idea/solution stage, not built yet. The complaint I keep hearing is that sketching, draping, tech packs, and portfolio work all live in separate tools that don't talk to each other. You sketch in one app, simulate drape somewhere else, build the tech pack by hand, and none of it carries over.

The plan is a single canvas that handles all of it. Real fabric and GSM data so drape behaves correctly, tech packs generated automatically from the sketch instead of built by hand, and a process log that shows your actual working process step by step, which would also help with the "is this AI-generated" problem recruiters are starting to worry about.

Before we build anything I want to check this against real designers, not just our own assumptions. If you sketch, drape, or build tech packs by hand right now, what's the part that eats the most time or drives you the craziest? Trying to make sure we're solving the actual problem and not the one we imagined.

Building a Fashion Design Platform

We've been working on a startup idea for the last 2 years and are currently at the idea stage. But since it requires significant funding even at this early stage, we're forced to pause our work and seek investment.

I'll be attaching the pitch deck below. If you're interested in helping us in any way, please DM me on LinkedIn or drop me an email.
