The project
- A relevant idea for the Web
- Your knowledge of the subject and of your audience
- The drive and the time to make it grow
You have the idea and you know your field. I bring my web expertise and my development skills, to build the project with you rather than for you. In return: shares in the company, a percentage of revenue, or a bit of both.
I join the capital of the company behind the project, and my technical work is part of my contribution. The shareholders’ agreement sets out how the shares are earned over time.
No equity: a contract sets the share of revenue that comes back to me, its duration and how it is calculated.
Part of the work is invoiced at the start, the rest is paid in shares or as a percentage. It is often the most balanced option when the project already has a small budget.
The option depends on the project and is negotiated between us. Nothing is set until it is written down.
You know the trade, the audience or the market, often from experience.
The project meets a need that already exists, for individuals or businesses.
Technology is not enough: someone has to carry the project in the field and give it time.
A mock-up, a waiting list, interested customers: nothing is required, but anything that shows the project is wanted counts.
A few lines in the form below, no specification needed. If you wish, I sign a non-disclosure agreement from the first exchange.
A call or a video call: your project, your market, what each of us can bring. In France, Quebec or French Guiana.
Partnership option, roles, split: everything is written before we start, then reviewed by a lawyer or an accountant.
I develop, you carry the project in the field, and we track the goals set at the start together.
, a product built on my know-howI created Easik to track trips and calculate mileage allowances based on the official French scales. It is the same know-how I put at your service when we partner: from the idea to a product online.
Fanny Cairon runs a literary communication agency for independent authors: editing, coaching, layout, book promotion. We partnered to build two projects around books. She brings her knowledge of authors and publishing, I bring the technology and the development.
Websites designed for authors
Professional websites for authors and writers, with a one-off payment or an all-inclusive plan with hosting and maintenance. The agency supports the authors, I design and run their websites.
The media for book lovers
An online literary magazine in French: reading notes, authors’ voices, new writers, cultural explorations. I designed and built the website. I also handle its distribution and its advertising, placements and rotations included, and I advise Fanny on everything technical.
A relevant project on the Web, led by someone who knows their subject. The sector does not matter, as long as the project is innovative and solves a problem that exists.
No, it is actually the most common case. You bring the project and your field knowledge, I take care of the technical side.
It depends on the project: what each of us brings, the time involved, the available budget and the potential. We discuss it after the first exchange, and the split is negotiated between us.
It is possible: we then look at a partnership in shares or as a percentage of revenue. The further along the project and the more concrete your commitment, the easier it is to partner without a budget.
Yes. I sign a non-disclosure agreement from the first exchange if you wish. In the form, a few lines are enough: the details can wait for the agreement.
It is written in the terms, before we start. With shares, the project’s code usually belongs to the company behind it. With a percentage, we specify what belongs to the project and what stays reusable, such as generic tools.
It is set in the written terms, based on the project’s needs and stages. I only commit to time I can actually give.
I will tell you honestly. For a standard service (showcase site, online store or maintenance), Wycan, the studio I run with John, can take care of it.
A few lines are enough. I read every proposal and reply personally.
