Built a functional SaaS – Looking for a Marketing/Growth Co-Founder (50% Equity)

Hey everyone,

I’m a technical founder with a background in engineering and data science. I’ve just finished building a new SaaS MVP.

The heavy lifting on the architecture and infrastructure is complete. The product is fully functional, hosted, and ready for launch. My strengths are building and scaling systems, not marketing. I’m looking for an Integrator / Growth-focused Co-Founder to take 50% equity and completely own user acquisition, marketing, and the go-to-market strategy.

What I Need in a Partner:

  • A true "Integrator" who excels at execution and business operations.
  • Deep interest or experience in growth hacking, lead generation, or marketing.
  • Someone ready to find early adopters and scale the user base while I handle the technical roadmap.

What’s on the Table:

  • 50% Equity split. Looking for a true, equal partner.
  • A completed, functional product ready to market today—no waiting months on development.

If you know how to drive traffic and convert users, but need a finished, high-quality product to scale, let’s talk.

DM me with a brief summary of your background, and I'll share the details and a link to the platform.

How many polymaths here are trying to master chess?

I used to find chess kinda boring because its has no real output, unless you are a Grand Master. But, lately I have been finding it facinating. When I first started and didn't know anything I quickly went to 900 elo. But, when I started reading and learning from others my elo dropped to 600 lol. But, recently something clicked and I am almost 900 elo again.

I wonder if that is a non-polymath issue or if its connected. I find myself exceeding when I use problem solving of my own accord vs standard material. But, regardless I am growing. I know 900 elo is still low but I have taken it up 150 elo in the last 30 days because I wasn't serious about it. Honestly, would probably be 1500 if I started fresh. But, I am liking the climb. Just rambling....

Firstly, I am greatful I found this group. I had no idea of the concept of polymath. I spent my entire life not exactly clicking with others due to them not understanding me. The conversations I prefer to have seem to be...how do I say... non-serial... I suppose. Many times I have found conversationalist and think... oh wow... someone who gets me, but then I realize I was just taken as they have no actual interest and are more of a generalist type. I have been called a Jack-of-all-trades and summed up as a generalist. However, I found those to be insults as I dove deep into many specialties. I honestly though either I am very rare in a good way or an outcast sorta way.

Have yall talked about how hard it is to find kindship?

But, I am making this post to discuss career. After 12 years as an Electrical Engineer, I can no longer enjoy a thing about it. Honestly, I was over it by year 3. I felt like I had learned as much as I can on many subdisciplines in EE and no longer captured my interest. I turned to machine learning in 2015. Roughly before tensorflow I was building my own neural network libraries in C#. I found myself becoming an profient programmer in C# and C. While persuing my passion for neural networks.

Last year I got my MS in Data Science because I feel like there are so many areas DS can be used from biology to finance. Its honestly for me the best tool for my polymath self. However, I am worried that creating a model to predict cancer or being a quant for a firm will no let me access the depths of the fields I need too. As an EE, I always felt my company only tapped the tip of the iceberg of my potential. I always felt I should be in R&D or something. But, seemed far fetched.

I have recently been considering finding a technical field that takes many years to reach technical specialty in order to give my drive for insatiable learning something to do. So, I thought about becoming an airline pilot, which takes many many years to reach. I also though about pHD in Quantum Machine Learning, but with my background, not sure if I could land a job. Since, I haven't with Data Science yet.

I am now leaning toward becoming a college professor since I would have opportunity to dive deeper into EE and DS concepts and push the work further. However, I almost feel confused.

It all feels like jumbled interests. I love it all. I could learn every bit of it all. There are some things I am not interested in like economics, composition, communications, speaking, but near every other topic or subject is interesting to me. I am even physically inclined and could become a athlete in something. That sounds interesting.

How do we manage our insatiable drive to learn? Its like an addiction. I even recall times during break when I was in college, where I would go to science page of read just to learn something.

I am also realizing that I have a deep understanding of many areas. I literally didn't learn anything during my MS in Data Science, because I had already studied it all and self taught. I actually was disappointed they didn't dig deeper, like much much deeper.

So, fellow polymaths do you get me and what is your career advice?

P.S. I also have a graveyard of projects that I completed, but never marketed because I mastered and accomplished the build and moved on.
