  Looking for Technical Co-Founder: Upgrade running AI Recipe Platform + Blockchain Integration Together
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  About Me
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Frederick, a freelancer-turned-founder from Belgium. I've built &lt;a href="https://dev.tourl"&gt;flavoreer.com&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Project 1: Flavoreer - AI-Powered Recipe Platform
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current Status:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Live platform with paying subscribers ($1.99/month)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;8,000+ recipe database (PHP/MySQL)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Active users + enterprise client (supporting 2,200+ users annually)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Subscription system integrated (Stripe)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Community features, blog system, admin tools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What We'll Build Together:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enhanced AI recipe matching using RAG pipeline&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vector database integration for semantic search&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Automated content generation (blog posts, recipe descriptions)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Workflow automation for moderation and support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Advanced filtering and recommendation engine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;API development for third-party integrations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Image processing and tagging&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tech Stack:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
PHP 7.4+, MySQL, Bootstrap 5, Stripe API, JSON recipe data&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Role:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Work alongside me to integrate AI/ML, optimize the backend, build new features, improve architecture, and scale this platform 100x.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Project 2: Blockchain Token Integration
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Goal:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Secure timestamp validation system for user submissions using blockchain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What We'll Build Together:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Token contracts with double parallel validation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Security-auditable smart contract architecture&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Testing and deployment infrastructure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Integration between blockchain and existing platform&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tech Stack:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Solidity, Ethereum (or compatible EVM chain), Hardhat/Truffle&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Role:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Design, develop, test, and deploy secure token contracts.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I'm Looking For
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Someone who will:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work WITH me as a collaborative partner (not for me as a contractor)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Commit time regularly to active development, not just advising&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take ownership of technical decisions and implementation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Communicate openly about progress, challenges, and ideas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grow these projects alongside me long-term&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical Skills Needed:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Full-stack development (PHP + JavaScript, Python is a plus)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI/ML expertise (OpenAI APIs, RAG, embeddings, automation)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Smart contract development (Solidity, security best practices)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with production deployments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Comfortable working with existing codebases&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You Should Enjoy:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Problem-solving and optimization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Integrating new technologies into existing systems&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborative development and pair programming&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Building features that real users will use immediately&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seeing direct impact of your work on revenue&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What You Get
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;50/50 net profit split&lt;/strong&gt; across both projects&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Quarterly revenue payments&lt;/strong&gt; - earnings from day one&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Co-founder equity&lt;/strong&gt; - this becomes our company together&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Active collaboration&lt;/strong&gt; - we build together, not in silos&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Real impact&lt;/strong&gt; - your code affects paying customers immediately&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Technical autonomy&lt;/strong&gt; - lead the technical direction&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Flexible remote work&lt;/strong&gt; - work your hours, full transparency expected  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Legal Protection:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Signed contract with NDA&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All development happens privately&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Private GitHub access after screening&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clear terms and responsibilities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  This Is For You If:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You want to be a &lt;strong&gt;co-founder&lt;/strong&gt;, not an employee&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You're ready to commit time to active development&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You value existing traction over starting from zero&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You want immediate impact from your work&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You're serious about long-term partnership&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You believe in revenue sharing over guaranteed salaries  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Partnership, Not Hourly Work?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I've tried hiring contractors.&lt;/strong&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As a co-founder,&lt;/strong&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The math is simple:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But with 50/50 profit sharing:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Year 1: $50K revenue = $25K each&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Year 2: $200K revenue = $100K each
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Year 3: $500K revenue = $250K each&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fcwpvu6r85lj7fiy4l29j.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fcwpvu6r85lj7fiy4l29j.jpg" alt=" " width="800" height="961"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You make MORE in the long run&lt;/strong&gt; by being a partner. The contract I've prepared gives you immediate access to everything I've built and 50/50 from day one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Think of it as investing in your own future.&lt;/strong&gt; If the right person joins me, this becomes a serious business. And you'll thank yourself later for taking the leap.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Apply
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interested?&lt;/strong&gt; DM me here or contact me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brief intro about yourself&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Links to your work (GitHub, portfolio, deployed projects)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Relevant experience with AI/ML and/or smart contracts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why this opportunity interests you&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your availability and commitment level&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next Steps:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initial conversation to see if we're aligned&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NDA signing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Full project access and detailed discussion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Partnership agreement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start building together&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's build something real. Let's kill it together.&lt;/p&gt;
