Need a Tech Co-Founder

Re:Need a Tech Co-Founder by cme on Tuesday August 02, 2011 @05:05PM (#2838693)

Being someone who is also actively looking for a tech person, from my experience you need to do a lot more than throw a post up on Hacker News, including being more transparent about yourself.

It wasn't until I launched a product (which i had developed by outsourcing it), marketed it up to 5,000 users, got paying customers till tech people payed any attention to me. I have also have deep industry knowledge and connections that help.

You don't need a tech person to get things moving. Outsource an MVP or prototype. Spend a little to get someone interested and excited.

Just my 2 cents.

Really appreciate your few cents. I am new to this industry but really believe my idea can succeed.

I am looking for someone experienced in this field and can help me hash out my concept some more!
