Seeking US BASED Freelancer Only — Co-Founder - Equity‑only until MVP - Long Term with Follow-on Projects - Remote (US)
Building CaseLight, a local‑first investigative case management and evidence platform for private sector, corporate and insurance investigators. I’m a 24 year former federal LE & current private investigator founder with the full product spec, workflows, and roadmap ready — just need a strong engineer to help punch out the desktop MVP. Front end UI is already operational.
Looking for:  
C#/.NET desktop dev, SQLite, local encryption, packaging/installers, clean productivity UI. Must be US‑based. Must be able to ship independently.
Offer: Equity‑only until MVP launch. I have solid GTM, trust network and traction in an otherwise insular market. There is no product like this on the market and the industry is begging for it. Serious builders only.
What you’ll build: case management, evidence ingestion, tagging/search, timeline, encrypted local storage, hashing, dual timestamp, export/report modules.
