Join the Ride
Tech Co-founder
Are you a Full Stack dev or ML engineer looking for a startup to co-found?
If so, you might be the crucial missing peace in this equation 👀
Some facts first:
Domain: Talent Intelligence, B2B SaaS.
TAM: USD 102 Billion by 2030. The aim is global, starting from Europe.
Stage: Pre-product, problem validated, also pivoted quite a bit based on customer research.
What’s in it for you?
🍰 A fair stake of the cake. You’re the mastermind behind the first S in SaaS so it should go without saying that you’ll get a chunk of the company. I would aim for equal split if the contribution is equal as well.
🎢 Building a product and an international remote-first company right from the scratch.
🤓 Interesting challenges as there are non-trivial technical stuff to solve.
🙋♀️ A co-founder with deep domain knowledge, 10-year track record from B2B sales + lots of experience from people operations, marketing etc. I’ve worked with and in tech companies for 10 years so I’m not totally clueless about product development or what we’re getting into. If Rakettitiede rings a bell you know I’ve worked with some of the brightest minds in sw development and hope to continue doing so also in the future.
🎉 Our customers are great fun to work with and will help us a lot as we are building something that makes their work life a whole lot better.
I ofc have a long list of expectations too but here are the top 5:
🤖 You are a skilled Full stack dev, ML expertise would also be great. Eager to use your knowledge to solve a real problem and work towards an ambitious vision.
🧐 You are curious. Technically but also businesswise.
✔ You get stuff done. Asking help comes naturally to you if you feel stuck.
😌 You know yourself well.
💡 You are fun to work with. For me it means you’re driven but also easygoing, you’re eager to learn, you appreciate feedback, you see the 50 shades of gray instead of only black and white, and you respect everyone regardless of their title or such.
Domain experience is not needed, I’ll gladly share all my knowledge.

Testimonials say it best

"If anyone I know is interested in starting a business this would be a great opportunity to give it a shot. Iida is great and knows what she's talking about!"

Yours truly
Iida
I hate talking about myself and I might also be a bit biased doing so.

Susanna Rantanen
"It's been a long while since Iida and I worked together, but I doubt her capabilities and adamant getting-things-done personality have changed for the worse since those days. I'm confident to say that whoever takes on this opportunity with her is unlikely to be left playing second fiddle, regardless of what happens. So, if there are any smart CTO prospects for a seat next to Iida on this vessel, connect with her to find out more. You might be forever happy that you did!"

"I was impressed when talking with Iida about her concept. Most ideas I have seen are simple "hey lets make a button that automates stuff X". Incremental improvements. And of course these days you see many sprinkling AI dust on whatever, with limited consideration of actual business value and client processes.
What she is creating is new capability that is prohibitively hard with current processes. The service design will evolve, startups pivot and all. Yet I'm confident that with her understanding of both the domain and of the capabilities of modern technology, Iida will steer the company to where the market will be.
For the future CTO she will be a partner who doesn't take tech for granted, nor does she see it as something magical and inexplicable. Tech is at the core of what she is doing, not a necessity that just needs to be implemented. That is why I think this is a great opportunity for an entrepreneur CTO."
