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!
Thanks. Why would it be a bad place to build?
Well, I dont really know how is your financial health, but senior developers charge a high amount, so if you don’t have this kind of money, you will need to hire a junior, and he dont have a lot of experience building products. But is great for his carrer as a developer, you dont have to spend a lot of money and the product can be developed. But you will need to be very rigorous on the criteria to select this junior.
Okay I understand, got you. That makes sense, pay for what you get
