For founders

Technical co-founder for your app idea

You have the idea and the market. We build the tech and join as co-founders. Since 1986 TXL IT has helped companies grow — now we help you go from sketch to launched app.

How it works

From idea to launched app — with us as technical co-founders

We are not a consultancy that disappears after delivery. We co-build and co-own the product with you.

1. Pitch & due diligence

You tell us about the idea, the market and where you are today. We do technical and commercial due diligence — we do not take on every idea.

2. Tech discovery

We sketch the technical solution, timeline and equity structure. Clear boundaries before we start.

3. MVP in 8–12 weeks

Our team builds your first public version — design, mobile, backend and cloud under one roof in Sollentuna.

4. Long-term partnership

We own the tech together and keep developing as the company grows.

Structure

How we get paid — cash, equity or a mix

Every deal is unique and we adapt to runway and risk. A common setup is lower hourly rate in exchange for 10–25% of the company. We are long-term — we do not juggle 15 projects at once.

  • Lower hourly rate against equity, or pure equity deal
  • Clear contract on IP, vesting and exit
  • The new company owns the code — we own shares in the company
  • No hidden fees or surprise price hikes

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the co-founder model

Do you take equity instead of payment?+
Usually a mix. We adapt to runway and risk. A common setup is a lower hourly rate plus 10–25% of the company.
How fleshed-out does my idea need to be?+
A validated problem statement is enough. We help you shape the product — that is part of the partnership.
Who owns the code?+
The new company owns the code. As co-founders we own shares in the company, not the code as separate IP.
Do you only build in Sweden?+
Our HQ is Älgvägen 3 in Sollentuna, but we work remotely and have clients across the Nordics and Europe.
What happens if the app does not succeed?+
We share the risk. That is why we do thorough due diligence before signing — both technically and commercially.
How long is the typical MVP phase?+
8–12 weeks for the first public version. Then continuous development as you validate the market.
Can you just build without becoming co-founders?+
Yes — we also deliver regular app development projects. See /services for that setup.
