I'm genuinely confused: how can you develop a new database without a technical co-founder? I mean they clearly pulled it off but how did they even start?

- zodiac 11y agoI think they were both technical (one of them has a CS degree and started a PhD program, couldn't see the LinkedIn for the other)
- nulltype 11y agoThe guy who wrote that post definitely has technical skills.
- jdoliner 11y agoI was the first employee at Rethink, very much not an "I just need a technical cofounder post" but a let's fill out our founding team with even more technical expertise.
- vvpan 11y agoI believe Slava was looking for an extra technical cofounder. He is extremely technical himself. Eventually it was him and two other people - Mike, who is sort of semi-technical (he doesn't write the DB afaik, but works on many other things) and Lief, who is a very technical guy, but moved on fairly early.
