Social worker seeking technical cofounder to build a system that improves access to social services
I’m a social worker based in Zimbabwe with on-the-ground experience. I’ve seen firsthand how hard it is for people in distress to find the right help, and how independent social workers struggle to reach those who need them most. The system is broken, and I believe technology built thoughtfully can fix a big part of it.
I’ve spent months building on this idea and have been stuck especially with the technical side.
But I’m not a developer. I can design the workflow, bring the networks, and ensure the solution works within our local context. What I need is a technical cofounder who can build the first version: setting up servers, integrating APIs, handling payment systems, and creating a clean backend that social workers can actually use. It’s not a massive platform, just a focused, reliable tool that connects people to care.
If you’re a software engineer who enjoys working with APIs, databases, and backend systems, has built or wants to build something that makes a tangible difference, is open to working remotely and partnering for equity (this is not a freelance gig), and cares about improving social welfare in underserved communities, then I’d love to hear from you.
I’m based in Zimbabwe, but you can be anywhere. I’m ready to start building, and I’ll share full details in a private conversation with serious candidates.
Drop a comment or DM with a bit about yourself, what you’ve built, and why this project speaks to you. If you have a LinkedIn profile, please include the link as well. This is a true partnership; I’m looking for someone who wants to build and own this with me, not just code for a paycheck.
Let’s see if we’re a fit.
