Team credibility

A founder-led team building a practical TaxTech/RegTech workflow engine.

TaxBridge AI is being built by a two-founder team with a clear role split: product/compliance workflow execution and market/brand development. The immediate goal is to validate the MVP, collect evidence, and prepare for controlled jurisdiction-specific expansion.

Team focus: The current team is lean. The roadmap includes adding licensed advisers, privacy support, engineering, and partnerships as the product moves from MVP validation to production maturity.
Founder / Product and Compliance Workflow Lead

Shotayo Moses Babatunde

Nigerian founder currently building for cross-border business users

Planned majority ownership: approximately 70-80%

Committed to leading TaxBridge AI product execution, Estonia-first validation, and future relocation planning if the company progresses through the relevant startup/residence process.

  • Product vision and MVP execution
  • Compliance-preparation workflow design
  • Technical implementation direction and testing
  • Founder/user research and product validation
  • International positioning for TaxTech/RegTech expansion
  • Coordination of demo evidence, feedback collection, and product-readiness materials

Co-founder / Brand and Market Development

Shotayo Kayode John

Nigeria-based co-founder supporting market development and user-growth direction

Planned minority ownership: approximately 20-30%

Committed to supporting brand development, market outreach, beta-user recruitment, and future relocation planning if the company progresses through the relevant startup/residence process.

  • Brand positioning and creative direction
  • Market outreach and beta-user recruitment
  • User acquisition support
  • Community and partner visibility
  • Growth feedback from founders, SMEs, freelancers, and diaspora users
  • Support for partnerships, testimonials, and early validation evidence

Supports TaxBridge AI with creative positioning, branding, market development, and user-growth work needed to move the MVP toward commercial validation.

Ownership structure note

  • Ownership is planned around a founder-led structure where product execution remains with the lead founder and market development support is assigned to the co-founder.
  • Exact equity allocation should be finalized in company documents before incorporation, investment, or formal immigration/residence submissions that require cap-table evidence.
  • The working structure currently supports a practical 70-80% / 20-30% split, subject to final legal and company documentation.

Relocation and operating commitment

  • The founders intend to treat Estonia as the first serious European validation base if the project progresses through the relevant approval and residence stages.
  • The lead founder is responsible for product execution and company-building readiness.
  • The co-founder is responsible for brand, market development, user outreach, and growth support.
  • Any relocation or residence step should remain tied to genuine company-building activity, not merely passive ownership.

Team strengths

  • Founder-led product execution: the MVP has moved from planning into a live deployed product.
  • Clear role split: product/compliance workflow leadership plus branding, market development, and user acquisition support.
  • Cross-border founder perspective: the team understands the confusion faced by diaspora entrepreneurs and foreign founders.
  • Practical validation mindset: the product includes beta feedback, reviewer demo, evidence page, readiness pack, sample report, and proof-of-concept framing instead of relying only on claims.
  • Scalable product direction: the platform is designed as a workflow engine that can be adapted jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

Next hiring and adviser needs

  • Tax/accounting advisers for Estonia and later EU jurisdiction review.
  • Privacy and data-protection adviser for GDPR policy, retention, deletion, and secure-file workflows.
  • Backend/security engineer for production hardening, monitoring, role-based access, and secure document storage.
  • Frontend/product designer for onboarding, accessibility, and conversion optimization.
  • Partnership and beta-community support for advisers, founders, SMEs, freelancers, and e-residents.
