MUST READ NOTE FROM @crisbinjoseph:

Hey, I’m Crisbin, Founder & CEO of Acowale,

As I sat down to write this message, I caught myself pausing, rethinking the way forward. At first, I considered offering a salary—like any traditional hire for the role of CTO—but something didn’t sit right with me. I was all set to put a number down for the salary when it hit me—this isn’t just about hiring a person for a job. You see, I’m not just looking for a typical Chief Technology Officer. I realized that bringing someone on board shouldn’t feel like filling a job. It’s more than that—it’s about finding the right person who shares our vision and is ready to embark on a journey with us.

At Acowale, we’re not just building another company. We’re creating an ecosystem—a series of products that will reshape how consumers, businesses, and vendors interact. I’m convinced we’re on the verge of making something useful for mankind, something that could disrupt the SaaS world in ways we haven’t yet imagined. And I need someone who feels this deeply. Someone who’s not just excited about the technology but about the dream, the journey, and the impact we’re going to have.

To me, finding the right CTO feels a lot like finding the right partner in life. This isn’t about a job title; this is about co-founding something that matters. The person I’m looking for will be a co-creator, not just an executive. And that’s why this position isn’t just a job offer—it’s a chance to be part of something from the ground up. It doesn’t matter if you’re not good with people or is an introvert or extrovert- it only matters if you align with our vision and good at coding!

Initially, the role will be based on sweat equity (you’ll have to invest only your brain- not cash), not a paycheck. But as we move beyond our current bootstrapped phase (and we’re already in talks with angel investors), that will change. You’ll have a stake in Acowale, Co-Founder & CTO position – a true partnership+friendship in every sense of the word. For now, this is a call to those who aren’t afraid to take risks, who are willing to push through challenges, and who are ready to be a part of this startup adventure.

This isn’t for everyone. But for the right person, it could be everything. This has to be someone who believes in what we’re doing just as much as I do, someone who wants to be on this journey not just for the ride but for the destination we’re aiming for. It’s not just about skills—it’s about vision, trust, and shared ambition.

So, if you’re someone ready to take on real challenges, not just as a CTO but as a co-founder, this might be the opportunity that’s been waiting for you. It’s a sweet spot for the right person—someone who’s ready to shape the future with us, not just watch it happen.
