Ask HN: Finding Technical Co-Founders
What is the best way to go about finding a technical co-founder? I have many years of sales, operations, business and finance experience in the Internet infrastructure industry. I'm an engineer by training, albeit from two decades ago. I want to partner with highly technical co-founders to build and take a product to market.
I had earlier tried routes such as going to Meetups but with the COVID-19 situation that looks not feasible. I would like to meet technical people interested in areas such as 5G, hybrid multi-cloud, Blockchain/Cryptography, IoT, Machine Learning etc.
I actively read HN, and know many engineers who are potential co-founders frequent this site.
This post was prompted by blog post about Mike Speiser playbook (of Snowflake and Pure Storage fame).

- wqTJ3jmY8br4RWa 6y agoStart a company with technical co-founders. The technical co-founders can stay focused on what they excel best: deciding what to build, hiring the product and engineering team, and building it. I will handle fundraising, handling the operations generally, and setting up the sales motion and GTM machine. Technical founders get much of the autonomy and upside of starting a new company while also getting support and guardrails so they can stay focused while having confidence the business is being built well by me. Does the above answer your question?
