Hi everyone,

I have been having a hard time finding a technical co-founder to partner up with. I’m using YC founder matching, but reading all those profiles leaves my quite discouraged seeing all these people that have worked for numerous companies or even their own start-ups. I have used all my 20 invites this week already, no response.

I am freshly graduated in a non technical field, obsessed with tech, though very little technical knowledge (have learned to read and write basic JS) and 0 experience in the business world.

This post might be more directed towards technical guys/gals, but what do you actually look for when seeking non-technical people to start a venture with? I’m not even sharing my business idea yet, just trying to match energy. Have tried some discord channels too without success.

Could use some tips on platforms, approach, even bio’s perhaps. I know I have some great ideas and I know I can execute these, heck I’d even try every no-code platform out there to at least get an MVP. Just need the technical counterpart to make it happen.

As a last note, maybe more directed towards non-technical guys/gals here, I feel very hesitant sharing any details of my business ideas to strangers, even knowing they could build it. Have learned the hard way trusting anyone. I’m aware it is rather the execution than the idea, but still.

Thanks ✌🏻

    In my opinion, without wanting to appear passive aggressive here, everyone has great ideas. You have them , I have them , my friend who hasn’t worked a day in his life has them. So I have come to the conclusion that no idea is worth anything unless you have the skills to materialise it, or at least the money to do so. Bringing a product in market is hard. Even if you have the technical skills and that is why because sometimes you lose motivation. If I were you, I would try to either market the product before its even built or at least get some customers to pay before launch and then try findING a CTO to share my vision and build it. With just an idea, no matter how great that is you won’t get far . That’s my 2 cents
