Ask HN: Dual technical co-founders?

[EleventhSun]

I'm a technical founder, looking for a co-founder. I have no way of assessing other non-technical co-founders, which pretty much limits my options to technical co-founders.

How often are there companies founded by dual technical co-founders? Google comes to mind.

It's going to be awkward talking to VCs while both of us are staring at our shoes.

Being a founder means being a jack of all trades, especially early on. So my advice would be to learn how to do it yourself. It might take you a few trials and errors, but that's ok.

You can find a list of 34 questions to ask to a potential co-founder here:

Another way is to delegate the task of interviewing a non-technical co-founder to a professional. Good luck!
