What you’d own (0→1): • v1 APIs: /resolve → /quote → /license.issue • Data plumbing: record linkage/de-dup (think ISRC↔ISWC), audit trail, versioning • Reliability: auth, idempotency, webhooks, retries, observability
Must have: shipped production APIs; Python or Go; Postgres; basic AWS/GCP; security (JWT, key rotation, webhook sigs). Nice: entity resolution/IR, DDEX/CWR, Stripe/Adyen (pre-auth/escrow), ACR/vendor integrations.
Stage & terms: lean two-person team; advance POC / early MVP by Dec ’25 to support a pre-seed. Equity-heavy co-founder role (cash post-funding). Location: UK or US; London preferred; remote OK within GMT±5.
If interested, please reply with a link to something you’ve shipped (repo/product) and a couple of time windows, or email workritwikpunjwani@gmail.com.

The fact that you couldn’t find anyone in the industry you’re targeting to give you angel funding is telling.
