Trussi, Here's my answer to your questions: Are the hacker or the hustler? Hustler but learned to code to implement my idea. Any co-founders? If so, what's their role? 3 co-founders (including me). 1 Technical, 2 of us learned to code to help build prototype. We keep wearing developers/business analyst hats. Do you have a built MVP? Any beta testers? Any paying customers? Prototype should be done in next 3 weeks or so. We are building Platform for consumers so B2C model.Planning on signing up small group of users to Beta test. If no built MVP, how much longer before it's built? 3-4 weeks How long is your runway (in months)? Not sure what you mean by runway. But after beta launch, we have about about 3 months more of dev work to implement all of the remaining features.

Your question implies that you (or the other biz dev) can't sell and can't run a company and need to recruit somebody to help. [Below is a bit harsh, but use the critical feedback to grow and improve. I'm honestly trying to help, not just criticize.] What are you and the other biz dev person doing all day?! What value do you (and the other biz dev) bring to the table? From my perspective, you two should be busting your balls selling. One should be selling the product to customers to gain traction. The other should be selling the product to investors. You both should be on the phone, road, plane, train or in a lobby waiting for a meeting all day, every day. You don't need a product to sell first. That's a first-timer's excuse for not getting out there and making it happen. It seems like you really need to step up the hustle level here. I'm available via phone and email anytime to discuss this further. Feel free to reach out any time. Like I implied above, I want you to succeed and would like to help in any way I can. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
