Technical Co-founder & Founding Growth (0→1), Jorge Ferreiro

For founders

The founding hire who builds the product and the distribution.

Most early teams have a builder or a growth person. I'm both in one body, the rare 0→1 operator who ships the product and the audience that makes it spread.

Looking for a technical co-founder or founding team member? I take an idea from a 2am voice note to a launched, growing product. Equity-friendly. The best collaborations start small, so let's do a weekend build first and see if we click.

Sound familiar?

You can build the product, but distribution is a black box.

You can sell, but every feature waits on a contractor who doesn't get it.

You need someone who'll own 0→1, not advise from the sidelines.

You want a co-founder you can test-drive before you commit.

How we'd work

Start with a build

A weekend or a small project first. Real collaboration tells you more than any pitch.

Product from 0→1

I ship the MVP and iterate fast off a 5-year playbook and my own SaaS template.

Distribution from day one

Content, launches, and growth loops built in from the start, not bolted on later.

Founder-level ownership

I operate like an owner, not a contractor. Equity-friendly for the right fit.

Why me

I cold-emailed every livestreaming startup I could find while building a side project. StreamYard hired me as engineer #2, then I became founding Growth PM and owned the experiment program through the $5M→$50M ARR run across 7 markets, until Hopin acquired us. After that I co-founded ZooTools (20M+ signups driven for our customers) and bootstrapped SMASHSEND, my AI email platform, solo, launching it with a full rap diss track aimed at Mailchimp. That last part is the point: I don't just ship products, I make people notice them. Three different 0→1s, three different ways.

Got an idea worth building?

Pitch me the vision. If we're both fired up, let's ship a weekend build and see.
