UX Hack - Technical Cofounder/CTO

Before I begin with my expectations, a brief background would help:

Well I started UX Hack last year when I had identified a pain point while working in Product Management division at a startup.

Though moved full time to work on this only in Jan 17. I see my strength as a digital generalist with strong skills in Product Management, UX, Marketing, CRM and Growth Hacking. With these skills, so far I have managed to -

a. Launch the UX Hack platform (yes, coded it myself with help from freelancers) which is now live.

b. Cracked few partnerships to help increase reach of UX Hack (Upgrad.com, co-working brands)

c. Got 200+ contributors so far on the platform from across the world.

d. 15+ startups have ran their first UX crowdsourcing campaign which has resulted in over 100+ hack submissions by contributors. Again representing different Geo

e. Managed couple of PR coverage for our events as well as UX Hack on BW Disrupt.

f. Part of Nasscom 10k startup program

g. Introducing (in progress) lot of workflow automation to manage the relationships with Contributors and Companies

So, if you observe, with my skills I have manged to almost tick the initial checkbox on the traction & PMF front. Only early revenue is missing which I am hoping should be able to close in coming weeks.

So, now as a Co-founder, getting complementary skills are a given. But, more important for me would be the following:

a. The value system should match - Honest, Humble, Hard work, Patience

b. I would ideally like to grow this in bootstrapped way. So would be great if your finances are sorted out for 12-18 months. I look upto Zoho rather than Freshdesk. Because I see this also as a way to nurture a good team who is not driven by money alone but overall development.

c. Willing to move out of comfort zone and jump on other functions. For example, though I started from coding but post MBA had never touched it. Now, am here learned a new language again for the platform. Similarly, I am not an extrovert but still try to do my best in meeting new folks. Hope you got the drift. The third person who will form the A-team is a sales person

So the key skill that I am looking as a technical co-founder/cto - ability to learn a new language quickly, have your core concepts very strong. adapt to best practices and latest trends. A good design and UX sense would be highly desirable. Manage complete full stack - code, deployment, test cases etc.

Current full-stack skill set you should possess - Python, Django, JQuery, Angular JS, HTML5, Twitter Bootstrap, MySQL, AWS elastic beanstalk management, API integrations

Our platform once scaled might have a good use case of introduction of ML/AI and conversational interface. Also, together we could also look at some patent thing if possible.

Look at the website, explore and if interested, let's connect-

P.S - Right now have kept it at equity level (10% - 15%) with no cash component. Though there is bit of flexibility in here which can be discussed.
