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’m part of 3 startups, all in technical capacity.
In two of those, the co-founders were ex-colleagues from previous jobs. I have known them for more than a decade prior to teaming up.
The third was after a year of acquaintance at a coworking space.
I have tried YC matchmaking for about 3 months, but it didn’t work for me.
