Looking for aCTO Co-Founder?
Before going further, let's make sure we're aligned. This page outlines my conditions and offers tools to evaluate our compatibility.
My fundamentals
What's non-negotiable
These are the foundations on which I build every partnership.
Everything in writing
Complete and validated shareholders' agreement. "Trust me" is not a contractual term.
Fair equity
A capital distribution that truly reflects each person's contributions, risks, and skills.
Technical autonomy
Final authority on technical decisions, tech hiring, and architecture.
Reflection time
Minimum 3-4 weeks of due diligence. Opportunities that "can't wait" don't interest me.
Equal vesting
Same vesting conditions for all founders. No preferential treatment.
Long-term vision
I'm looking to build something lasting, not a quick flip. Minimum 5-year horizon.
Total transparency
Full access to financial information, cap table, projections. No gray areas.
IP protection
Absolute clarity on intellectual property. What I bring and what I create must be documented.
