Turning Promising Tech Ideas into Successful Startups as (Technical Co-Founder)
Our Story
In the early 2000s, our journey began in Al Khobar, where our founders built a software company that served major corporations in Saudi Arabia.
As the tech landscape in the Kingdom grew, our founders spent over a decade contributing to the development of several tech startups. Throughout this journey, they observed a recurring challenge in the startup world: promising Saudi ventures struggled due to their reliance on external development and the absence of a founding technical partner. At that moment, they decided to dedicate their expertise to solving this problem by establishing a company that serves as a founding technical partner, supporting entrepreneurs in their journey of building and succeeding.
Thus, Dreamy was born—to be the founding technical partner (CTO) that empowers Saudi entrepreneurs to transform their ideas into successful and sustainable tech companies.
What is the Tech Partnership & Co-Founding Model?
The technical partnership and founding model is a comprehensive approach that goes beyond traditional development. The founding technical partner takes on the role of CTO in the startup, actively participating in the building journey from the ground up. They invest their technical expertise to establish a sustainable technical foundation in exchange for equity in the company. This model is based on fundamental principles, including shared belief in the vision, trust in the founding team, and long-term commitment. The partnership is built on aligned goals and active participation in both risks and success.
Why Tech Partnership & Co-Founding?
Non-technical entrepreneurs face a significant challenge in finding a technical co-founder to build and manage the technical aspects of their startups. Some resort to developing their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) through external companies or freelancers, unaware of the challenges that lie ahead. A technical co-founder is not just an option; it is a necessity for success and sustainability. Without one, startups face a high risk of failure from the outset, and even if they manage to survive, they struggle to keep up with growth demands and market challenges.
