Why most founders shouldn’t look for a technical cofounder first (and what to do instead)

I’ve seen a common pattern

Someone gets an idea → starts looking for a technical co-founder → spends weeks or months searching → nothing gets built

The problem isn’t the lack of a co-founder. It’s starting at the wrong time.

Why?

• This idea hasn't been tested or proven to work.
• Good technical co-founders are selective.
• This slows things down, taking time to 'communicate' where you should have worked.

So what should you do instead?

Start with a simple MVP. because it builds something to show to ideal Workers, builds leads, understands the exact situation of the market, and gets into the game.

Which makes it much easier in future to get co-founders and top employees.
The thing is to start first, then go for other things.

If you’re in this situation, feel free to share what you’re working on…
