Find a co-founder for your SaaS startup

Most SaaS companies are built by a pair with complementary strengths: one person who designs, ships and maintains the software, and one who understands the market, talks to customers and closes deals. Finding that second half of the team is often harder than finding the idea itself.

In short

To find a SaaS co-founder, publish your project on EasyCofounder and state the missing role: a CTO to build and run the product, or a business partner to win B2B customers. Filter talent by skills and location, talk through the built-in messaging, then test your collaboration on a first prototype before splitting equity.

On EasyCofounder, SaaS founders describe their product, its stage and what they offer a partner. Developers, product people and B2B sales profiles list their skills and availability, and AI matching suggests the most complementary profiles. Many teams work remotely, so you are not limited to your own city.

Building a SaaS startup: what matters

  • The builder and the seller

    The CTO owns architecture, reliability and the product roadmap; the CEO or commercial co-founder validates demand, sets pricing and signs the first paying customers.

  • Recurring revenue

    Subscription revenue makes progress easy to measure. A few paying customers and low churn tell a clearer story to investors than any slide deck.

  • Skills to look for

    Web and cloud development, security, product management, B2B sales, content marketing and customer success.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of co-founder do I need to launch a SaaS?

If you are a business profile, look for a CTO who can build and maintain the product. If you are technical, look for a partner who knows your target market and is comfortable selling.

How much equity should a SaaS CTO co-founder get?

There is no universal rule. It depends on each person’s contribution, time commitment and the stage of the project. Vesting over several years protects both sides if one founder leaves early.

Can I build a SaaS without a technical co-founder?

You can start with no-code tools or freelancers, but a technical co-founder usually moves faster, keeps the product coherent over time and reassures investors.
