Looking for a technical co-founder for a newly-launched platform

I’m Debbie, founder of Cove – an intelligent business board designed to help small businesses overcome common pitfalls, make smarter decisions, and succeed. Cove is live, with a working MVP, beta testers on board, and partnerships in development. Right now, I’m looking for a passionate technical co-founder to help take it to the next level.

Why Join Cove?
I’m currently part of the prestigious Antler cohort (only 2% of applicants make it!) and am gearing up for the program’s final pitch for investment. With Antler’s backing, we’ll be ready to scale quickly, onboard more users, and fully launch the platform.

Here’s what makes this opportunity exciting:

  • Driven by validated pain points: The idea for Cove came about through my on-the-ground experience with multiple microentrepreneurs while working in 37+ countries over the past 20 years. I initially built and delivered a series of workshops to test my hypothesis, and these guided the development of the product.
  • A Proven Start: Cove is already live, and feedback from beta testers is helping us fine-tune the UX.
  • Early Traction: Partnerships are forming with key players in entrepreneurship programs and business services.
  • A Real Need: Cove addresses the all-too-common challenge of small businesses plateauing or failing in their early years by simplifying the way they plan, grow, and adapt.
  • Equity and Growth: You’ll join as a co-founder with equity in the business, a salary (once investment is secured, starting small but increasing with investment/revenue), and the opportunity to build something that genuinely helps people.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Bubble Proficiency: You have extensive experience building and scaling platforms on Bubble.
  • Visionary Thinking: You can collaborate on the technical roadmap and see opportunities where others see challenges.
  • Full-Time Commitment (Post-Investment): Initially flexible, but ready to dive in full-time if our pitch is successful.
  • Europe-Based: Ideally in the Netherlands, UK, Belgium, France, or Germany as we’ll need to work in person together from time to time.
  • Entrepreneurial Spirit: A love for building, experimenting, and problem-solving in the startup world.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead Cove’s technical development, from enhancing the current MVP to shaping future iterations.
  • Collaborate on UX improvements and feature development informed by beta user feedback.
  • Be a driving force in scaling the platform and making it indispensable for small businesses.

What’s Next?
If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, I’d love to connect! Here’s what to do:

  1. Send me an email at hello@cove.business or DM me here.
  2. Include a brief intro about yourself, your Bubble experience, and any relevant projects you’ve worked on.
  3. Share why this opportunity excites you and any questions you have.

Let’s build something game-changing together!

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Debbie

Hi Debbie :waving_hand:

I’m a Bubble developer with 2+ years of experience building and scaling no-code SaaS platforms, CRMs, and marketplaces—everything from user-facing interfaces to complex backend workflows and third-party integrations.

Your mission with Cove really resonates. I’ve worked on projects that empower creators, small businesses, and startups, and I’m drawn to tools that genuinely help people grow. The traction you’ve already achieved, plus being part of the Antler cohort, is seriously impressive.

I’d love to explore this opportunity further and hear more about the roadmap and vision for Cove. Happy to share work samples and chat anytime!

Best,

Hi Muhammed
Many thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in working with me. However, as mentioned in the post, I can only consider people already based in Europe.
Best regards, Debbie

Thank you for your response and for considering my message.

Totally understand your preference for Europe-based collaborators. If anything changes or if you ever need remote support from an experienced Bubble developer in the future, I’d be happy to help.

Wishing you all the best with Cove—it’s a brilliant initiative!
