A note from Paul

Why I’m looking for cofounders

“I contribute the existing product and strategic support. I’m looking for two hands-on cofounders to take ownership of daily operations and bring CatchDesk to market.”

A compatible technical and commercial duo who already work together is welcome to apply together.

The product

What CatchDesk does

CatchDesk.ai is bilingual English/Spanish AI call triage and lead capture for contractors. There is a working product with successful demonstrations. Reliability work and sustained testing come next, before paid activation.

Paul (proposed)

  • Ownership is earned through agreed service and milestones. Final vesting, responsibilities and compensation are set in written agreements; applying grants nothing.
  • Real day-to-day authority within each agreed role and budget, with major owner decisions reserved by agreement.
  • No salary is currently committed. Lawful compensation and funding arrangements are agreed before productive work begins.
