How do I find an awesome developer/cofounder? (hit me up)
Hey IH badasses...
I need your help.
What's the best way to find a great developer/Technical Cofounder?
Just built out a GTM strategy + roadmap for a really cool software product (chrome extension starting out) integrating into online marketplaces & browsers (think broadly in the Honey category in terms of initial build). But now my bottleneck is getting the MVP out before someone else jumps on the idea.
It's aimed at helping people do more good in the world which we all could really use right now.
Any favorite resources for finding these peeps? Cofounders? CTOs?
I want to create a space where everyone wins.
Or if you're reading this and think you'd be a great fit, let me know. I'd love to give opportunities to the awesome lady developers in this space but also open to everyone :)
Much love to this bomb community.
As a Software Engineer, I can give you some tips on what would convince me:
being more transparent with your problem and solution
Engineers get pitched ideas left and right. I don't want to invest hundreds of hours building out your idea while you sit on your butt and then we realize there is no one cares. Explaining what your idea is, why its important, who its important to, how are you going to sell it / market it is key for me.
what you bring to the table.
Why are you the right person to co-found this idea?
having a problem thats in an area I am personally interested in.
For me, that's real estate, mental health, maybe fitness.
Fair equity terms
Engineers typically earn $100/hr or more for their time. I don't want to work for "options". I don't want to be at risk at the 11 mo mark, getting fired after launching the mvp and thus losing all of my equity.
(forgive my gate keeping) but if an potential cofounder isn't asking these questions, they are either inexperienced and maybe not that great of a co-founder.

Hey!
Might be interested? I'm a software engineer with 4 years experience professionally, mostly a front-end guy, with a lot of free time during the pandemic. Looking for something to dig into!
I'm interested in finding out more.
That sounds like something I'd be interested in. Email in profile.
Awesome will do!
