Sølsk - the sun rises on a fresh start

Imagine being one of the original creators of a groundbreaking app, a dating platform designed to fix everything wrong with modern dating apps. An app where people actually meet, not just endlessly swipe.

That’s what I'm building with Sølsk, a dating app that prioritizes authentic connections over gamification.

And here’s where you come in.

I need a developer who wants to do more than just code, someone who wants to be part of something big from the start. Someone who will shape the app, influence the direction, and own a major part of the product.

If you’re the type of person who has been waiting for a project worth your time and talent, this is it.

Why Sølsk?

A Dating App That Actually Works for Users, Not Against Them.

One Match at a Time: No juggling endless convos—users focus on one person, like in real life.

The “Låse” System: Once matched, users are locked into a convo for 3 days—no ghosting, no distractions.

Bio-First Approach: Users read about someone first before seeing their pictures.

No Manipulative Algorithms: No boosting, no rigged matches—just organic connections.

You’ll Have Serious Ownership & Creative Control.

You decide the tech stack and how we build this.

You help shape the product, not just follow instructions.

You’ll own a massive chunk of equity (45%), this isn’t just a freelance gig.

Your Work Could Be Seen & Used by Millions.

Dating apps are a $10B+ industry.

People are actively looking for an alternative so this is a perfect time to enter the space.

If this app succeeds, your equity is worth serious money.

No Daily Meetings, No Micromanagement.

Work on your own time, your own schedule.

No pointless check-ins, just direct messaging and milestones.

We'll work like founders, not employees.

Who We’re Looking For:

An iOS mobile developer
Someone who knows dating apps—you’ve used them and understand their flaws.
Someone who wants more than just another job—you want to build something big.
An independent thinker—I don’t micromanage, I trust you to own your role while I own mine (UI/UX design).

What You’ll Be Doing:

Building the app from the ground up (frontend & backend).
Choosing the best tech stack, you have full say.
Developing key features like Låse, profile verification, in-app chat, and monetization.
Implementing security features (Apple ID login, government ID verification).
Helping shape the app’s direction, your ideas matter here.

What’s the Catch?

I’ll be upfront and say that this is not a salaried job.

This is an equity-based co-founder opportunity. If that’s a deal-breaker for you, no hard feelings.

But if you’ve ever wanted to OWN a major stake in something that could take off, then this is that chance.

Developer: 45% equity (You’re the technical co-founder.)
UI/UX Designer: 10% equity (Hiring later. Design isn’t the priority yet.)
Me (Founder, Creative, Business Lead, and Lead UI/UX Designer): 45% equity (Managing vision & operations.)

If the app succeeds, your stake is worth far more than any short-term paycheck.

How We’ll Fund & Sustain Development

We’re not just throwing this into the wind and hoping for the best. There’s a plan:

Bootstrap & reinvest early revenue (microtransactions, early sign-ups, ads).
Seek angel investors/VC funding if the app gains traction.
Explore startup grants & accelerators to help us scale.

This means as soon as we make money, it goes back into development. No one is working for free forever.

Still sound too good to be true?

I get it. A huge equity offer, no upfront pay, and a game-changing idea? Sounds like every other pipe dream we’ve all heard.

And maybe it is. And maybe you join, and we work on it together and ultimately it doesn’t come to fruition. Well, in that worst case scenario, you still built an entire app all on your own that you can now put into your portfolio, and you also gained lots of experience for your resume.

And I’m not asking you to jump in blindly, I want you to see everything for yourself.

I’ve put in serious work to ensure this is a well-thought-out, realistic, and market-ready idea. The only thing missing is the right developer to bring it to life. And hey, Worst case scenario? You build an entire app for your portfolio and gain startup experience. If you have questions, doubts, or concerns, ask me directly.
