Rideshare App Development Partner (Equity-Based / Co-Founder Opportunity)

I want to build a rideshare mobile application similar to Uber and Lyft, with long-term plans to scale across multiple cities. I am seeking experienced mobile and backend developers who are interested in partnering on this project as co-founders or equity partners, rather than a traditional paid contract.

This is a startup opportunity, not a one-off freelance gig. Developers who contribute meaningfully will receive ownership shares in the company based on contribution, skill level, and commitment.
