Ask HN: Finding Technical Co-Founders

[wqTJ3jmY8br4RWa]

What is the best way to go about finding a technical co-founder? I have many years of sales, operations, business and finance experience in the Internet infrastructure industry. I'm an engineer by training, albeit from two decades ago. I want to partner with highly technical co-founders to build and take a product to market.

I had earlier tried routes such as going to Meetups but with the COVID-19 situation that looks not feasible. I would like to meet technical people interested in areas such as 5G, hybrid multi-cloud, Blockchain/Cryptography, IoT, Machine Learning etc.

I actively read HN, and know many engineers who are potential co-founders frequent this site.

This post was prompted by blog post about Mike Speiser playbook (of Snowflake and Pure Storage fame).

So while the engineer is building the product, what would you do?

[wqTJ3jmY8br4RWa]

Start a company with technical co-founders. The technical co-founders can stay focused on what they excel best: deciding what to build, hiring the product and engineering team, and building it. I will handle fundraising, handling the operations generally, and setting up the sales motion and GTM machine. Technical founders get much of the autonomy and upside of starting a new company while also getting support and guardrails so they can stay focused while having confidence the business is being built well by me.

Does the above answer your question?
