Friends,
I'm looking for a top-tier technical builder to found a specific vertically-focused cybersecurity platform that's solving important & cutting-edge problems for its target vertical. Following initial interest from leading companies in this vertical, plan is to onboard these clients as co-development partners, thus (i) significantly increasing probability of success and (ii) enabling bootstrapping.
Target specs:
* Truly top-tier technical builder who has fully owned the design / buildout / deployment of a significant software platform
* 5+ years of experience, including at a start-up or growth-stage business
* Cybersecurity expertise
* Deep passion for AI and AI-native development
* Preference for bootstrapping (i.e., lean team)
If you know someone who (i) meets or exceeds these specs and (ii) may have an interest, I'd love to know (can message me a link to their LinkedIn and/or share their resume). Will share more info with folks who are potential fits.
Posting this on SearchFunder because I figure there may be tier-1 technical folks here who are aspiring to build or operate something in a bootstrapped, de-risked way. We'll see!
