If you are unable (or unwilling) to build an MVP or write code for your startup, then you are definitely not the technical co-founder.
If you only can (or want) to focus on the "business side" of the startup, and you can't contribute in any technical aspects, then you are clearly not a technical co-founder.
If your startup or hack can't move forward because you have the idea but you don't have the necessary skills to build it, at least at an MVP level, then you're not the technical co-founder.
It is hard to attract technical co-founders. There are some popular posts like this one in IH about why technical co-founders are unattracted by many of the offers they get to join a startup.
So, I'd like to know what attracts technical co-founders to join an idea, a project, or a startup. ¿Or maybe you are joining because of the person behind it?
Let me know by voting on the attached poll below. If none of the options apply to you, you can very well add them in the comments section.
Thanks in advance!
Most people might resonate with an idea and have already built some kind of MVP - finding a co-founder nontech person might help you get your MVP off the ground faster, in the hope that the nontech cofounder is a hustler of some kind...
