Looking for Technical Co-Founder: Upgrade running AI Recipe Platform + Blockchain Integration Together
I'm seeking a technical partner (not a contractor) to co-found and build two revenue-generating projects with me. If you're looking for hourly rates, this isn't for you. If you want to build something real and share 50/50 in its success, keep reading.
About Me
I'm Frederick, a freelancer-turned-founder from Belgium. I've built flavoreer.com to the point where it has paying subscribers and an enterprise client, but I've hit the technical ceiling of what I can do alone. I need a technical co-founder who sees the potential and wants to grow this with me.
Project 1: Flavoreer - AI-Powered Recipe Platform
Current Status:
- Live platform with paying subscribers ($1.99/month)
- 8,000+ recipe database (PHP/MySQL)
- Active users + enterprise client (supporting 2,200+ users annually)
- Subscription system integrated (Stripe)
- Community features, blog system, admin tools
What We'll Build Together:
- Enhanced AI recipe matching using RAG pipeline
- Vector database integration for semantic search
- Automated content generation (blog posts, recipe descriptions)
- Workflow automation for moderation and support
- Advanced filtering and recommendation engine
- API development for third-party integrations
- Image processing and tagging
Tech Stack:
PHP 7.4+, MySQL, Bootstrap 5, Stripe API, JSON recipe data
Your Role:
Work alongside me to integrate AI/ML, optimize the backend, build new features, improve architecture, and scale this platform 100x.
Project 2: Blockchain Token Integration
The Goal:
Secure timestamp validation system for user submissions using blockchain.
What We'll Build Together:
- Token contracts with double parallel validation
- Security-auditable smart contract architecture
- Testing and deployment infrastructure
- Integration between blockchain and existing platform
Tech Stack:
Solidity, Ethereum (or compatible EVM chain), Hardhat/Truffle
Your Role:
Design, develop, test, and deploy secure token contracts.
What I'm Looking For
Someone who will:
- Work WITH me as a collaborative partner (not for me as a contractor)
- Commit time regularly to active development, not just advising
- Take ownership of technical decisions and implementation
- Communicate openly about progress, challenges, and ideas
- Grow these projects alongside me long-term
Technical Skills Needed:
- Full-stack development (PHP + JavaScript, Python is a plus)
- AI/ML expertise (OpenAI APIs, RAG, embeddings, automation)
- Smart contract development (Solidity, security best practices)
- Experience with production deployments
- Comfortable working with existing codebases
You Should Enjoy:
- Problem-solving and optimization
- Integrating new technologies into existing systems
- Collaborative development and pair programming
- Building features that real users will use immediately
- Seeing direct impact of your work on revenue
What You Get
50/50 net profit split across both projects
Quarterly revenue payments - earnings from day one
Co-founder equity - this becomes our company together
Active collaboration - we build together, not in silos
Real impact - your code affects paying customers immediately
Technical autonomy - lead the technical direction
Flexible remote work - work your hours, full transparency expected
Legal Protection:
- Signed contract with NDA
- All development happens privately
- Private GitHub access after screening
- Clear terms and responsibilities
This Is For You If:
You want to be a co-founder, not an employee
You're ready to commit time to active development
You value existing traction over starting from zero
You want immediate impact from your work
You're serious about long-term partnership
You believe in revenue sharing over guaranteed salaries
Why Partnership, Not Hourly Work?
I've tried hiring contractors. They never delivered what was truly needed. Why? Because when you're paid by the hour, there's no skin in the game. You code, you get paid, you leave.
As a co-founder, you're invested in the outcome. If Flavoreer succeeds, we both succeed. If it fails, we both tried. That alignment is worth more than any hourly rate.
The math is simple:
A senior developer costs around $150K/year. If Flavoreer makes $50K next year, I'd owe you $100K I don't have. That's unsustainable.
But with 50/50 profit sharing:
- Year 1: $50K revenue = $25K each
- Year 2: $200K revenue = $100K each
- Year 3: $500K revenue = $250K each
There is more to it, as the second project offers cheap registration of ideas by having a parallel system that is validated within the EU.
Also, here there is a serious potential for a mass userbase of creators, designers, developers, and inventors that pay a small fee that will trigger a snowball of revenues 10 years from now.
You make MORE in the long run by being a partner. The contract I've prepared gives you immediate access to everything I've built and 50/50 from day one.
Think of it as investing in your own future. If the right person joins me, this becomes a serious business. And you'll thank yourself later for taking the leap.
How to Apply
