You have to ask yourself what a CS degree would make different. You have an idea, you have a prototype. That should be enough for angel funding or recruiting a more technical co-founder.
Also, a pet peeve of mine is when people call their programming code "a code". My poem isn't as pretty when compared to a words written by a guy that is related to Shakespeare.
- pascalchristian 17y agoThat's what I wanted to know myself. I don't live in the bay area, although I have plans to move there if I started my venture. The problem is that from what I read in YC, angels and VCs such as PG seems to hate non-tech founder with passion.
- djb_hackernews 17y agohate is a strong word. You could also say they strongly prefer multiple founders, so if you are concerned with pleasing PG et al then you'd best find a co-founder, and why not one that has the technical skills that would also alleviate any possible concerns VC's might have. I think at this point you are getting ahead of yourself. Keep iterating on your prototype and when your technical skills are maxed out, find a co-founder with the skills you need.
