We’re building an AI productivity SaaS startup, organized as a cooperative (shared ownership based on real contribution).
We’re looking for an additional Founder focused on Technology & Engineering (CTO track).
We do not expect you to build the product, as we have already done so, but we do expect you to be hands-on.
This is a founder role, not a freelance, advisory, or employee position.

Important upfront
• There is no fixed cash compensation at the start
• Cash payment depends entirely on revenue or external funding
• You do not have to contribute any money, other cofounders have contributed enough and already cover expenses, especially product development
• Once revenue or funding comes in, cash is shared among all founders

What you’ll do
• Technology & Architecture (core focus)
• Own the technical vision and architecture of the product
• Guide decisions around AI integration, scalability, and system design
• Ensure high code quality, maintainability, and performance
• Collaborate closely with product & design to deliver a clean, fast, intuitive UX





Engineering Leadership & Process
• Work with an established full development team in India
• Coordinate with the team rather than replacing them
• Translate product goals into clear technical execution

You
• Solid background in React & Next.js
• Comfortable with AI-driven products (LLMs, AI workflows, integrations)
• Very familiar with project management methodologies
• You want to be a real founder, not a contractor or “CTO-for-hire”

Cooperative & Founder Setup
• Everyone works under the same cooperative founder contract
• Shares are earned based on contribution, not titles
• No special treatment for any one founder
• Ownership, responsibility, and upside are shared

Our Team
• International founding team across Germany, Switzerland, India
• Many years experience, successful consultant & startup experience
• Strong technical execution already in place

This is great for you if…
• You want to be a founder of an AI
