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!
I see noone is answering your question directly. So here it is.
Use a freelancing service and have them do certain technical tasks. Strike up a conversation to check their communication skills. Check the quality of their work. If all good. Ask if they are interested.
I have two technical cofounders. As ppl rubbish the idea. I get three times as much work done. Faster to market. Solve problems I couldn’t have otherwise and you are right, investors want to see it.
Thats very difficult, I dont have the answers for technical questions. I talked with 3 programmers, each one gave me a different answer, how to choose?
