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 :)
Build it yourself on a no-code platform, like Bubble. Then when you find product/market fit and get some traction, you can hire a CTO instead, retain majority ownership, and avoid the headache of bringing on a co-founder or investors.
