I’m a lawyer based in the U.K. working on a B2B legaltech AI solution. Thus far I have a simple MVP that’s been made using a Python script that can generate a contract in a second (rather than weeks). I’ve conducted customer validation with many SMEs (40 pages worth of transcripts from conversations) but my entire network is non-technical people.
How did you guys find a technical person to be a co-founder? I’ve tried adverts online and YC co-founder match but with little luck.
My guess is that, because we’re pre-revenue, few people want to join (despite offering equal equity). Legal is also not sexy in the AI space and given the economic conditions, people aren’t as incentivised to join startups.
Any ideas would be fab :)
there are alot of service based companies which can offer you with technical solutions, see if you can partner with them and get some traction, with traction i guess more people will be open.
u can get cheap technical workforce in India, like most startups.
The challenge I see with just using service based companies is that they are like robots - you need to tell them what to do ? OP can tell them about the product is but they don’t operate at that level and their interest are different as well . You need to break it down and then take decisions that are beneficial for you not for them. Besides there is no one to keep quality check .
