Founding Freelance Partner – Agency Build (Developers, Designers & Growth Experts Welcome)

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m writing to you with full transparency. Apex Growth Partners is a new venture. We haven’t launched a single project yet. We don’t have a case study portfolio or years of testimonials to show you. But we do have a clear vision and a problem to solve. Too many non-technical founders struggle to get their ideas built because managing developers, budgets, and scope is a nightmare. On the flip side, talented freelancers often end up burned out dealing with difficult clients, unpaid invoices, and constant scope creep. I’m building Apex to fix both sides of that equation. I specialize in curating talent and managing the business side (client communication, budgets, timelines) so experts like you can focus purely on high-quality execution. Here’s where I need your help. To launch correctly, I need to surround myself with the best people from day one. I don’t want to test our process with random contractors. I want to build the core team of this agency with freelancers who care about quality, reliability, and setting a high standard for how agencies should operate. What I’m Asking I’m looking for foundational partners—top-tier developers, designers, and growth experts—who are willing to join us as we build our reputation from the ground up. Since we are new, you won’t find us on Clutch or Upwork. You’re taking a bet on the model and on me as the lead. Here is exactly what I offer in return: 1. You Control Your Rate (Fairly) We aren’t racing to the bottom. We work on fixed-price projects that respect your value. I handle the negotiation with the client to ensure your fee is protected before work begins. 2. Zero Admin Headaches As the agency lead, I am the buffer between you and the client. I handle the vague requirements, the emotional clients, and the timeline negotiations. You handle the build. We handle the payments together. You will never have to chase a client for an invoice. 3. Shape the Future of the Agency Because we are building from scratch, your feedback matters. If a contract clause is unfair, we change it. If a workflow is clunky, we fix it. This isn’t a bureaucracy; it’s a partnership where you have a voice in how things run. 4. A Curated Network I plan to keep our roster small and elite. This means you won’t be competing against hundreds of cheap bids. You’ll be matched with projects that fit your specific skills, primarily helping non-technical founders validate MVPs and scale digitally. My Background I don’t write code. I specialize in product strategy, project management, and connecting ambitious visions with the right technical execution. My job is to protect your time and your margins so you can deliver great work. What I Need From You Reliability: You deliver what you say you will, on time. Communication: You can explain complex tech issues to non-technical stakeholders (with my support). Quality: You take pride in your work, even when the client can't see all the details. Our Services Scope We are recruiting experts in: SaaS & MVP Development Web & Mobile App Development UI/UX Design Social Media Management & Content Strategy Technical Consulting Let’s Build This Together I know joining a new agency comes with questions. That’s why I’m proposing a low-risk discovery: Chat: Let’s hop on a brief call to see if we click. Trial: We start with a single, well-scoped project to establish our workflow. Growth: If it works, we grow into a long-term partnership. If you are tired of the "freelancer grind" and want a supportive environment where the agency lead actually has your back, I’d love to hear from you. Reply with your portfolio and a few words on why you’d want to help build a new standard in the industry. Looking forward to potentially working together,
