Technical founder, product already built looking for a commercial co-founder with a network in European textile manufacturing
Keeping this short, because the details are better in a conversation than in a post.
I'm a backend engineer based in Europe. I've built a B2B platform for the European textile manufacturing sector it's built and running, not an idea on a napkin. Business model, financials and go-to-market are all documented.
What I can't do alone is the commercial and marketing side: getting factory owners and commercial directors to trust it and sign up. That's a relationships business, and it isn't my background.
Looking for a co-founder with:
• A real network in European textile manufacturing (Portugal, UK, Spain or Ireland, ideally Vale do Ave, Barcelos, Guimarães, Famalicão, London).
• In-person or remote, consultative B2B sales experience closing sceptics, not growth hacking.
• Working knowledge of the industry: tech packs, MOQs, incoterms, lead times.
Not looking for another developer, or a passive advisor.
• Offering: meaningful equity, 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff, both ways. No salary at this stage and I'm not raising yet being upfront about that.
DM me and I'll walk you through the whole thing: the product, the model, the numbers, and exactly where it stands. Happy to take questions in the comments too.
Thanks.
