Riff Information

Most founders don't struggle to meet developers. They struggle to find the right technical partner to build a company with, whether that's a co-founder, a CTO, or the engineers who join early and shape everything that follows. Riff exists to solve this. We work with serious founders, established businesses, and experienced technical leaders, running a curated matchmaking process built around long-term compatibility, not just skill requirements. Before any introduction happens, both sides go through a structured profiling process to assess: Vision and ambition Risk appetite and expectations Working style and decision-making approach Commitment to building long-term Relevant skillsets Only when there is genuine alignment do we connect people. The wrong technical hire, at any stage, can quietly cost months of runway, significant equity, and momentum. Our role is to reduce that risk before it happens and help businesses build strong technical foundations. We work with: - Founders at idea, MVP, and early traction stages looking for a technical co-founder or founding CTO - Businesses that need fractional CTO support without a full-time hire - Founders ready to bring on founding engineers to build out their team - Senior engineers and CTOs who want meaningful ownership, but only with credible founders and serious opportunities If you're navigating the search for a technical co-founder, fractional CTO, or founding engineer, we're happy to explore whether our process is a fit. hello@riff-hub.com www.riff-hub.com
