Looking for a technical Co-Founder to apply to YC for Winter 2026

I’m looking for a technical co-founder to join me in building a platform for what I describe as, identity driven fitness. The concept is that health is a spectrum, even though there are optimal methods, consistency is built on adapting to the needs of your lifestyle.

The internet is filled with different narratives around how someone can reach their health goals but nothing that bridges the gap between your inspiration, your reality and your execution. Instead, people receive a fragmented sense of direction. Usually, this looks like a collection of saved social media posts, some guidance from nutrition apps and / or a workout tracker. If you’re really lucky, you might even have a subscription for your wearable just for it to agree with you that yes, you slept bad yesterday.

The ambition here is to build a platform that helps people discover, build, and sustain fitness routines that adapt to their goals, preferences, and lifestyle. Blending expertise, community, and technology to ultimately create clarity, in a space where there’s so much noise.

I’m deliberately keeping the product details vague, but if we look like a fit, I’ll be happy to show you through the different in-app experiences and show you how we’ll deliver on the above. The bigger thing I’m trying to address is that the vision is to build a company that can become a category-defining platform in fitness, not just another workout tracker.

About me:

• Product-focused founder with 10+ years in UI/UX working for global enterprises
• Deep understanding of fitness and the domain
• I’ve been slowly building out the architecture and foundations in Swift
• I’m looking to build a small team of individually capable and dependable people to take this to YC with

Who I’m looking for:

• Has experience building full stack mobile applications
• Is comfortable owning technical decisions and architecture
• Wants meaningful ownership and to build a company, not just contribute to a project

Bonus if you have experience with:

• AI / Personalisation systems
• Social / Community products
• Fitness, health, or behaviour-change experiences

I’m not looking for someone to just code a few screens. I’m looking for a partner who wants to challenge ideas, shape the product, and build something that can have a real impact.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to DM me. I’d love to chat about the vision and see if the project would benefit from us working together.
