Business Development Partner for Software Startup

I'm a software engineer looking to partner with someone who shares my goal of building and scaling a software development business. My focus is on the technical side: designing, developing, and delivering high-quality software solutions. I'm looking for a business-minded partner who enjoys finding opportunities, building client relationships, and turning conversations into long-term business. What we can offer clients: - Custom websites and e-commerce platforms - Web and mobile application development - SaaS products and MVP development - AI-powered applications and workflow automation - API integrations and enterprise software solutions - Ongoing development, maintenance, and technical support What I'll bring to the partnership: I'll take responsibility for technical planning, software architecture, development, engineering resources, and project delivery. I can also support technical discussions, estimates, proposals, and client meetings. What I'm looking for in a partner: Someone with experience in business development, B2B sales, client acquisition, or agency growth who can: - Identify businesses that need software development services - Build relationships with founders, business owners, and decision-makers - Generate qualified opportunities through LinkedIn, email, networking, and direct outreach - Participate in sales discussions and help close projects - Develop a repeatable client acquisition strategy Experience selling software development or IT services is a strong advantage. Partnership structure: I'm open to a commission-based or profit-sharing partnership for the right person. This isn't about hiring someone to sell lead lists. I want to build a long-term partnership where we combine technical execution with business development and grow together. If you're interested in building a software business rather than working on individual short-term gigs, I'd love to connect. Send me a DM with a little about your background, your business development experience, and how you would approach finding our first clients.
