Looking for co-founding opportunities
London-based technical founder looking for a co-founder with an idea / problem worth solving
I’m based in London and looking to connect with someone who has identified a genuine problem or opportunity and wants to build a company around it.
I’m a senior technology leader / Fractional CTO with experience taking companies from 0→1, through product development and fundraising, and into scaling. I’ve also worked on building a fully AI-native company from the ground up, including AI product development, agentic systems and the underlying technology platform.
My background spans AI/GenAI, software engineering, product development, architecture, technology strategy and commercial product delivery. I’m comfortable going from a blank sheet of paper through to building the product, establishing the technology strategy, hiring/leading engineering teams and getting something into customers' hands.
Rather than starting with a technology looking for a problem, I’m particularly interested in meeting someone who brings one of these:
- Deep domain experience — you’ve worked in an industry for years and identified a significant gap, inefficiency or underserved customer need.
- A validated problem or idea — you’ve spoken to customers, worked in the space, or have strong evidence that there is a problem worth solving.
- Previous founder experience — you’ve built a startup before and understand the realities of going from idea → product → customers → fundraising.
- Strong network / fundraising capability — you have relationships with investors, angels, industry players or potential customers that could give a new venture a meaningful head start.
- Or ideally, a combination of the above.
I can bring the technical, product and execution side — taking an idea from 0→1, building the MVP, developing the AI/technology strategy, establishing the architecture, leading engineering and helping take the business through fundraising and beyond.
I’m open to joining an existing project simply as a CTO/engineer. I’m looking for a genuine co-founder relationship, where we identify a strong opportunity together, validate it and build something with significant potential.
I’m particularly interested in B2B, fintech, healthtech, AI and other markets where technology can create a meaningful competitive advantage, but I’m open to the right opportunity regardless of sector.
If you have a problem you’ve been thinking about for years, an industry insight you believe could become a business, or previous startup/fundraising experience and are looking for a technical co-founder, I’d be interested in hearing your story.
London-based is ideal, but I’m open to working with the right person remotely as well.
Please DM me with:
- What problem/opportunity you’ve identified
- Your background and domain expertise
- Whether you’ve built a startup before
- Any validation, customers or network you already have
- What you’re looking to build
