What do you need a technical cofounder for? Like what is the critical piece for moving the product forward that you don't currently have?

You should continue to look for good people and size up if they would be a good partner. You should also start talking to investors. Not having a cofounder is just one data point.

I don't really believe in this one chance with an investor. A lot of them like to get to know you and your business over a span of time. It really does depend but seeking out good people (tech or otherwise) is always a valuable thing to spend your time on.

The next step is building out a basic app that will display the metrics being tracked by the sensors and using that information to provide adaptive programming. To understand what I mean by adaptive programming take a quick look at fitstar.com. I wan't to build a very basic form of that functionality, but the beauty is users won't have to stop and manually record their exertion level, repetitions, and working time between each exercise. My machine will automatically track those metrics, so the experience is seamless.

Based on your feedback and the feedback of others, I'm going to pull the trigger and start setting up meetings with investors. I think that's a logical next step and finding good people is something that I can continue to focus on in parallel to other things.

I'm in Mississauga, ON.
