How do I successfully outsource my MVP?

I was thinking about developing a really basic version of my product. I think having something tangible makes it easier to convince a good technical co-founder to join or to even get an investment.

I dont think that learning programming would be the most efficient way to spend my time. By the time I would get to the level I could create my application, the wave will have already passed. Furthermore, not everyone needs to know how to code, everyone should focus on what they're good at. I am good with sales, marketing, finance, and building websites. This of course puts me in a disadvantageous position when wanting to launch a startup.

You can use no-code tools for developing a really basic version of your product. (Bubble, Webflow, etc). Once you'll have something to show - you can pitch the idea to the potential tech co-founder. You can find them on relevant cofounder subreddit, IH (Looking to Partner Up), etc.

You should build a mock-up and then get some presales. I've seen this work for non-technical leaders. You can then hire devs / find a CTO.

Mock-up can be slides, figma, a website. Something fantastically cheap to communicate the value prop.
