A technical partner for products worth building.
We don't take every build. We pick a small number of product partnerships per year where we can join as the technical side of the founding team — not as a vendor invoicing by the hour.
Equity and skin in the game on our side. A real founder, a real problem and a real product on yours.
Collabwire partners selectively on venture builds as a technical co-founder layer: product architecture, first working product and long-term engineering — base fee plus equity when leverage is real.
What this solves.
You're a founder, not a buyer of dev hours
You want a technical partner who carries the build with you, makes architectural decisions and stays close to the product over years, not sprints.
The idea has real leverage
A workflow that thousands of companies do badly. A market with a clear wedge. A system that, if built well, changes the unit economics of an industry.
Early systems need shape, not staffing
What's missing is architecture, judgement and execution — not a body shop. A wrong foundation here costs years later.
You want aligned incentives
Base fee covers the work. Equity aligns us with the outcome. We only sign when both sides actually believe in the product.
What we build.
Product and system architecture
Domain model, system shape, data flows and the technical decisions that determine what the product can become.
The first working product
Not a slide deck, not a prototype — a real, deployable system that early users can use and the team can keep building on.
Operational backbone
Backend, integrations, internal tools and the parts of the product nobody screenshots but everything depends on.
Long-term technical partnership
Ongoing involvement as the product grows: architecture decisions, hiring support, scaling, and rebuilding what needs to be rebuilt.
Technical scope.
- Step 01
We're selective on purpose
We say no to most opportunities. The ones we say yes to have to be worth multiple years of attention.
- Step 02
Base fee plus equity
A reasonable base fee covers the work. Equity covers the bet. No equity-only requests and no fee-only ventures — the structure has to match the commitment.
- Step 03
Architecture first, paperwork second
Before we sign anything we do enough work together to know whether the system, the founder and the partnership are real.
