If you’re looking for a cofounder, tons of top engineers starting their next companies are converging on Taiwan to do this ten week residency together: https://www.facebook.com/davefontenot/posts/1015820666915435...

This sounds amazing. Two questions:

a) How does this work with the new stricter visa entry requirements for Taiwan? https://www.boca.gov.tw/cp-220-5081-c06dc-2.html

b) Do I need to know Mandarin to be able to communicate with other folks?

The fastest way to know if someone is the right cofounder is to 1. Work with them in a high pressure / time boxed environment 2. Live with them

This is the perfect environment to do both.

Ad 2. Observe that co-founders spouses reaction to the living together.
