Startup Opportunity

WebGL/Three.js Developer - AI Commerce Startup (Cofounder or Employee Track)

Body:

Hey Three.js community,

We’re a pre-seed AI commerce startup in San Francisco NDA disclosed.

Two paths available:

Cofounder Track:

  • 30% equity (2-year vesting, no cliff)

  • Ground-floor ownership in AI commerce space

  • Significant decision-making authority

  • For someone who wants to build a company, not just a feature

Employee Track:

  • 3% equity + compensation (3-year vesting, 1-year cliff)

  • Core engineering role

  • Less commitment, still meaningful equity upside

What we’re looking for:

  • 2+ years production WebGL/Three.js experience

  • Strong portfolio of interactive 3D web projects (please share!)

  • Experience with modern web stack (React, Next.js, etc.)

  • Comfortable working independently in early-stage environment

  • Excited about AI + commerce intersection

What you’ll be building:

  • Interactive 3D product experiences

  • Real-time rendering and optimization

  • Integration with AI backend systems

  • Novel shopping interfaces using WebGL

Our situation:

  • Pre-seed, stealth mode (NDA required for details)

  • San Francisco-based, remote-friendly

  • Small founding team, moving fast

  • Already have strong candidate interest, so moving quickly

Ideal for:

  • Developers who love creating immersive web experiences

  • People excited about early-stage startup opportunity

  • Those who want equity and ownership vs. corporate job

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please reply here or DM me with:

  • Portfolio/GitHub

  • Which track interests you (cofounder vs employee)

  • Brief note on your experience

We’re reviewing candidates this week and moving fast. Thanks!

Interesting opportunity, I’m interested.

I’ve been building WebGL / Three.js–based virtual experience engines for several years. One of my core projects, started around 3 years ago, is a general-purpose virtual experience engine designed for immersive, open-world environments. A central reason I built this VEE was to support electronic cash as a native layer, enabling real-time transactions inside virtual spaces, alongside exploration, interaction, and product experiences.

The engine also grew out of my background in architectural and urban design work (around 5 years ago in Dubai), where I worked on large-scale virtual city concepts, including transforming empty desert areas in Saudi into livable, high-end urban environments for locals, expats, and tourists. That experience strongly influenced the engine’s focus on scale, realism, and economic activity inside virtual worlds.

Happy to share deeper technical details, demos, and discuss alignment with either the cofounder or employee track.

Hi there,
I came across your post, and I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to what you’re building. The intersection of AI and immersive commerce is exactly the kind of space I’ve been wanting to work in, and your vision aligns strongly with the type of products I enjoy creating.
Portfolio / GitHub: https://xfigura.ai
Track Preference: Employee
Experience Overview:
I have over 4+ years of production experience working with WebGL and Three.js, building interactive 3D experiences that emphasize performance, real‑time rendering, and smooth user interaction. My background includes:

  • Developing custom 3D product visualizers, configurators, and immersive interfaces
  • Working with modern web frameworks such as React, Next.js, and Vite
  • Optimizing rendering pipelines, asset loading, shaders, and GPU performance
  • Integrating 3D front‑ends with backend APIs, including AI‑powered systems
  • Thriving in early‑stage, fast‑moving environments where autonomy and ownership matter
    I’m especially drawn to the idea of redefining how people shop online through immersive 3D experiences. The chance to build foundational systems at the pre‑seed stage—and help shape both product and culture—is something I’d be excited to take on.
    I’d love to learn more about your vision, the technical challenges ahead, and how I might contribute. Happy to hop on a call anytime this week.
    Looking forward to connecting.
    Best regards.

Kevin
