Finding a technical co-founder when you're not a developer

Most searches for a technical co-founder fail because they start too late, or with a message that's too vague: "looking for a CTO" says nothing about the actual problem to solve.

Before searching, you need to be able to explain precisely what the person will build in the first six months, and why they should choose your project over another.

Small-format gatherings, like Founders Night, allow for a more honest conversation than a generic LinkedIn post.
