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 :)
I found my cofounder through my past work. We hadn’t worked a lot together but we knew each other. I worked in a tech company so it’s easier. I’d recommend going to events and meet ups. Spend some time working together before committing. You will have to make the decision using incomplete information, but there’s no substitute for working together even if it’s just a few weeks.
