Why are you choosing tech stack if you don't have a technical co-founder? That stack looks like a mess (assuming it is AND not OR). Ruby, Rails, FastAPI, Python

There's way too much going on there. If you are targeting AI you might as well just use Python (with a front end framework if you really need it). What is the rest for? If you have the ability, consider Render over Heroku. It's similar, might have a brighter future, and is likely less expensive.
Also consider your dream technical cofounder has to be a master of a lot based on that list. It will be hard to find someone willing to oversee that. First thing I'd be trying to do is cut it in half before even considering it.
As some who might be interested in being a technical co-founder in the future, I'll tell you what I'd want. 100% of tech stack control, and confidence you are the right person for the other job with a vision I believe in that I trust.
It might be your pitch, or it might just be hard. I'm not sure I or anyone else has enough context to give you a definitive answer.
I do want to conclude by saying that I think you asking at all is a positive learning experience. The above is just an initial opinion based on some assumptions - good luck.
- metadat 3y agoAt least some times.. Because they hired some low cost contractors in a 2nd or 3rd world country to build a shitty version of the app in Django with Bootstrap. Now you get to inherit that at your starting place - oftentimes this is largely technical baggage.
- fsndz 3y agoIt is OR not AND. I just listed the different technologies I am comfortable working with. But sure for an AI product, doing an MVP with React + fastapi + postgreSQL and deploying on heroku or render seems like a good idea.
