Hello, i’m looking for some advice on where to find a technical co-founder. I’m very much in the beginning stages of my startup and have the initial concept and want to finish my MVP to fully validate my idea. I know that YC has said that the best people to start a startup with are people you have known for a which, like school/college or university friends. But! if you don’t have anyone in mind that would be a great fit within your own network, where have others gone to find cofounders? I have heard stories of cold contacting people on Linkedin and also YC’s co-founder matching. I would love heard other people stories and advice. My startup is in the PropTech space. Also, I reside in Australia. Thanks!
You’d have better luck if you shared your strengths and weaknesses. Your post is the equivalent of a romantic asking someone where to find a spouse, with no context to what you’re bringing to the table.
Example, you could be a 12 year old with big dreams or a successful business owner with significant capital. Since it’s unclear, people are more likely to not bother - when you provide details that don’t make people guess at what you’re bringing, you tend to better find the people you’re looking for.
