Co-founder Needed for E-commerce Scale-Up

Job ID: 40161897

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Project Overview:

I am a full-stack developer with a portfolio of 10+ live, functional web applications and e-commerce platforms. These projects are built (React, Next.js, Python, Stripe) and operational but require a dedicated partner to help scale, optimize, and grow.

This is not a typical short-term contract. I am seeking a serious, long-term collaboration with a skilled professional interested in a revenue-sharing or equity partnership.

Examples of live projects include:

- Babys & Me (babysme.com) – Curated baby products marketplace.

- Habesha Smak Butik – Multilingual Ethiopian food e-commerce site.

- Afelu Marketplace (afelu.com) – Platform for AI tools and prompts.

What I'm Looking For:

- Growth Hacker / Digital Marketer: To drive user acquisition, SEO, and monetization strategy.

- Additional Full-Stack Developer: To collaborate on accelerating feature development and technical scaling.

Collaboration Model:

- This will be a partnership, not hourly employment.

- We will select 1-2 projects with the highest potential.

- Compensation will be based on a clear revenue-sharing agreement or equity stake in the project(s) we grow together.

- Initial engagement may begin with a small, paid audit or improvement task to ensure we work well together.

Ideal Candidate:

- Has a portfolio proving expertise in the chosen area (design, marketing, or development).

- Is entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and communicates clearly.

- Is interested in building a sustainable digital business, not just completing tasks.

- Can commit 10-20 hours per week consistently.

To Apply, Please Provide:

- A link to your portfolio or relevant work.

- A brief note on which role you're interested in and why.

- Your initial thoughts on which type of project you find most promising.

- Your experience or interest in partnership/equity models.

Budget: We can discuss an initial fixed price for a preliminary project audit/analysis. Primary compensation will be structured as a long-term share of generated revenue.
